OCTOBER 2 2006
NYC, NY

today was the most beautiful day here in nyc
clear with puffy white clouds and a soft fall wind.

I forgot how many different languages are spoken here.
Just walking down one block you can here at least 3 different ones
I found myself almost purchasing a watch that spoke the time in German… almost.

Today Alex deCarville my wonderfully talented drummer arrives.
I am really looking forward to the next couple days.
Noah Wheeler will be accompanying us on bass this week.
He recently sent me a link to his new band When Perry Went Home (myspace.com/whenperrywenthome)
The song ‘ dad’ is so cool, I can’t stop listening to it!!

Walking around this morning I found myself in a store…
The store was selling magazines, t-shirts, books and random Japanese toys.
It also had a headless, naked, tattooed, pregnant mannequin wearing lace up boots on display as you walked in…I found one magazine called Lodown. Within it I found an artist I’d never heard of before, Noah Butkus.
His art is so amazing… I won’t attempt to describe it.

You can find more about him and his incredible work on www.noahbutkus.com

More to come…
