A Long Night, A Sweet Evening

Gary and I hung out and talked shop tonight - for over three and a half hours. No recording, though we wanted to. If you're familiar with Elmhurst, then you probably will know exactly where we're talking about. We started off at Caribou, on York, just after 7:30, and migrated south to BWW, once they closed (at a lame 9 PM). Though BWW was substantially louder, and sometimes difficult to focus at, we managed to hammer out some key issues about how we'll be approaching the coming year as The City.

For starters, our highly-anticipated freshman release will be completed. And, we also decided that Widmer beer is much better than Leinenkugels Honey Weiss. I also just did a quick Google search and discovered that, contrary to its deceptive name, Widmer is made in Portland, OR. It's not German at all. We left the restaurant with hoarse throats. Too much to say, too loud of a place to say it in; but we managed.

After a frigid car ride home (and a really productive conversation), I grabbed some left-overs from the fridge, sat down at the computer, and started this post.

We're unbelievably excited about the direction that we're heading, and look forward to having you join us on the journey. After all, we [all] are The City.

30 Hours Logged, and Counting

Over the past month, we've been working on the next song for the record. It's called "From the Bones". We've spent three, full days on it, plus a few evenings, and we're already getting close - very close - to finishing it up. Here's a little peak at what the Logic arrange window looks like for the song. peaCe. -Jay
