HIO stuff

got the first positive feedback (first feedback of any description, really) from outside (excluding my sweetie and hickey's wife, who are what you call a "captive audience") on the cd-r, from jordan franz, who usedta sit in at the wreck room jams and is playing this sunday with grimy styles at the boiler room in denton.

thinking about the chemistry of this unit. i think terry's ADHD complements by OCD pretty well. also find it interesting that both of us work in retail, for which i believe we're well suited temperamentally. i've been doing it off and on since i was 15 and find i feel comfortable in it. he must too, as he still hasn't quit his job at lowe's even though he's a full-time art teacher now.

hickey is kind of an enigma to me, and while i like him a lot, i wouldn't say that i know him really well. one of the funniest people i know. i was a fan of both of his old bands, and am curious to hear what he's been up to out in that shed in weatherford.

hembree is one of my favorite musicians on earth because he loves to play more than anyone i know. he can play bass in any band i have from now until i check out.

for some reason, marcus brunt has a really positive opinion of me, and it's nice having him moving that big column of air around. he should be back from his honeymoon in rome by now.
