Okay, I haven't posted in a long time. We've been quite busy the past few months but now I don't really have an excuse since I stopped working at Primal Gear this week. A lot of things have changed for us, none of which I'll be posting here since we want to tell all of our friends and family first (no Tessia isn't pregnant no matter how much you all may want that to be true!).
Tessia is still working at the horse-pistol and I'm still making contacts will local artists and engineers, hoping to work on a few more projects in the coming months.
As far as new work, while we were back in town in March myself, my brother Justin, bro-in-law Andy and favorite songwriter Wesley all got together at the Brickhouse Recording Studio in Wichita, KS. We wrote and recorded 3 songs, all of which will be finished sometime this summer and released (probably for free) online. So yes, that is what is going on...

The Laziest Bloggers Ever!
Okay, maybe not the laziest ever, but pretty close I'm sure. I spend most of my time blogging on my other blog, and Tessia, well, she works harder than I ever dreamed anyone could and doesn't have lots of time to blog... but here is what is going down in Nashville for the interested parties.
1. Josh is busy working at Primal Gear and is recording when he can.
2. Tessia is now working nights, this makes Ace and Josh sad.
3. Ace is becoming calm... he sleeps a lot, and just lays around and looks cute, we are happy as this is what we had intended when getting a dog, it just took a few years to kick in.
4. Josh has been listening to Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power in the car a lot lately, Tessia is allowing it for now, Josh is basking in his metal victory.
5. Tessia wrapped all of our Christmas presents the other night and they are now sitting under our tree (which is the coolest tree ever).
6. We are excited to come home and see people, but probably not as excited as you are to see us! :)
That's all for now, I'd better get back to work...
And #6 is a joke, except for the part about everyone being more excited to see us.

It's been a while...
I'm sitting here at Primal Gear getting ready to go to lunch. I've finished adding some stuff to the website (consoles for sale) and thought I'd post quickly about what's been going on...
I've been steadily working in the tech shop here, doing web stuff and helping fix broken things and I also got a job at West Elm in the stock room, not exactly a "fun" job but everyone is cool and it's money. Tessia has just been doing her thing at the horse pistol... my parents are coming for Thanksgiving, so we'll be buying another chair for them (we only have 3) :).
Other than that, I've been hanging out at studios and trying to put some audio work together for myself and I keep thinking I may record that solo album I've been day-dreaming of... we'll see.

Scrabble..Music..White Russianish..ahh Friday Night
Josh finished his first week of work... he's in love! He works on lots of equipment with numbery titles in them and big long impressive sounding names...that's all i understand of it :) oh and he burns his fingers a lot (soldering), we use lots of band-aids now. i start monday. i'm trying to be excited but i am really enjoying all this time to be lazy and organize haha i know the two do not seem to go together. i got to fill out piles of pathetic paperwork tonight to prepare. although it was nice to be able to do it from my home and have it all ready to go the first day.
we have had lots of visitors in our first 2 weeks here. Jay and Kelsey and my parents helped us move and then hung out for a few days....we have pictures but we lost the cord to upload pictures from our camera and have not gotten it replaced yet. needless to say we had a lot of fun with all of them. we went to the country music hall of fame and toured RCA studio B. it was actually really really cool. Kelsey and I channeled Elvis's spirit when we were in studio B...she started singing "Blue Suede Shoes" in his voice exactly it was so freaky! j/k j/k it was really cool though totally recommend it to those who come to visit. after they all left our friend dustin and eventually the whole Me In Motion band crashed for a few days. it was a lot of fun....dustin was my company while josh started working and he was a trooper enduring lots of errands. always a good friend! then as of wednesday we have been all on our own.
we have explored as much as we have time for, and are really falling in love with the city and surrounding area. it really is beautiful. we do still miss home though :) tonight we took ace to the dog park for the first time. its an awesome place and REALLY BIG. he had fun running...finally without a leash!
love and miss you all!

Nickleback > The Beatles?!
True story... I can't make this stuff up!
I am sitting at work when I overhear my boss say that he is going to Vegas in a few weeks. I stand up and let him know that if he isn't planning on going to Cirque du Soleil that he should. Tessia and I went to a show on our honeymoon and it was amazing!!! I then let him know that if anything, you get to hear The Beatles in surround sound, and that's just rad.
Then...
A co-worker that sits next to me laughs and tells me that the Beatles aren't any good anyway and that there is much better music than The Beatles out there. I took the bate...
Me: "What could possibly be that much better than The Beatles?"
Coworker: "Nickleback..."
Me: "..."
I didn't know what to say, I threw up inside and just froze, so then I said...
Me: "Oh yeah, Creed and Three Doors Down are pretty sweet too!!!" super sarcastic!
CW: "I love those bands, they are the best bands ever..."
I crap you not... like I said, I can't make this stuff up.
Then, I laughed, rudely... and just said that Nickleback was aweful and that we obviously were on different pages when it came to talentless 2 chord jock rock bands...
It gets better...
CW: "I like jazz too..."
Me: "Like who..."
CW: "Kenny G."
Me: "That's not even jazz... it's elevator music."
CW: "You obviously have no taste..."
Me: "I'll take my Grant Green, Nels Cline and Sam Rivers records over that junk any day."
CW: "Whoever that is."
I don't even know what to say. It's sad what people listen to... I don't care if "they enjoy it"... maybe I am an elitist, but the music business is falling apart and I now believe that most consumers are to blame. Quit buying crappy music, it isn't fair to the people that actually enjoy art to have to deal with the crap on the radio... because it's not my fault that it's there. It's yours.
