Last night's highlight: hanging out backstage with a bunch of Frenchie clowns in lycra, in the company of Mazzles Hinge.

how cool was it?!
I will keep memories of fully made-up clowns napping on massive, ridiculous props, crouched over the backgammon, loafing on sofas looking utterly fucked off, sullen trapeze dykes warming up on the ropes, James the ringleader hoo-haa-ing the troops and the cutesey 'dad' giving the cutesy 'generic innocent child' character a complete bollocking after their act....and a contortionist almost waxing both our ears simultaneously for a LONG time.
As I will the urge to semtex that little shit ringmaster kid. Fucker.

pics of deets birthday cake , her older sister did the "artwork" . she didnt consult me about this so i was pretty surprised , it was a nice touch , deet is lucky to have an older sister that treats her so well .
the cake :
the original image :
i just spent an hour and a half with dahlia , her first electric guitar lesson . she did good , and man is the setup she got nice ! this lil fender G-dec amp is excellent . built in midi synth , jam loops , digital modeling and fx . sooo much nicer than what i had to start with . the mini start is pretty sweet too , but i replaced the tuners and had it pro set-up with 12 gauge strings .
now we are gonna watch some more of the anthology .

shrimp worked with some software she has to do that . jasc paint shop , i guess maybe its like an expanded paint with elements of photoshop . she got into that stuff on her own . i just put it on their pc cause i had it on a disk someone gave me . they sit in their and play photoshop for HOURS . they gave the .jpg file to the bakery , they have a special printer with edible ink / "paper" .
its nice for me , but i need to have her teach me . when ever i need anything i put stuff in her shared folder , then she comes out of her room and says "its done" . she also does video editing for us . i tell her what i want and she ALWAYS ups it a few notch's , which is awesome .
when we recorded 13 , our 30 song album of covers , she edited every single wav file . the one song had 77 individual wavs ! same with my album "cant compete" . it was super nice for me , i concentrated on playing . we work together really really well , me and shrimp . i dont have to explain much , she just gets it , and always goes above and beyond . there is never an argument , and her additional ideas are great 99 percent of the time . oh and thanks .

added a second stage to the fuzz , its a dualie . tested 4 different cobo's of trannies , and tons more diodes . got a few great "straight" fuzz tones , and this one that "blooms , really odd/cool sounding (hit a note then "way-ooh -wee , then it "chops" )

. i liked that . tried tons of cap combos the capacitors change the tone , there is 3 . its odd cause different types of caps sound a lil different even though they are the same value . gonna try something different tomorrow , called a darlington . shit there are so many different ways i can try , the testing / design part is gonna take a while !

vote yes for small-firework vandalization audibles
and no for the inhumanity that comes along with doing just that

puppy finally found some HP sauce...basically A1 mixed with worcestershire. shit's hard to find & expensive here, but it's pretty damn good.
thank you Mary & ETM for the recommendation.

HP sauce ROCKS
Almost as much as catching up with someone you haven't seen for 15 years, is touring the world with a headline band and is STILL an absolute sweetheart (that can also get me into Nick Cave gigs for free

).
Mad month
