PTF album journal

July 4th, 2006

Well, we’re into july and still no progress. The whole credit card scheme has been disappointing to say the least so we’re moving onto the whole loan thing. I trust mike completely but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have some doubts about this turning into an absolute fiasco. I just know the record needs to be made. I’m willing to risk a life long debt to Chase bank as long as I have something fucking unbelievable to show for it. I just cant help but feel as though we’re kind of running out of time. I guess mike has to go to FL for some training for Jet Blue in August so we really need to get this shit rolling. The loan decision might take a week, it might take another week to locate the equipment on ebay, another week to get it, a week or two to record, a day in Fridmann’s studio. Its going to be quite the stretch. I don’t want to leave for school with this thing incomplete because if I do it’ll never be finished.

Still no bass player either. I thought they were supposed to be the easiest member to replace?! Its nice to have the free practice space at Dan’s, but useless without a band to make noise in it.
