yesterday

We had a studio in an old, red, industrial building. It was relatively close to Templehof Airport. The building was haunted, and we had to make peace with the spirits to play there. And they had to make peace with us.

We spent alot of time there, reflecting on American music. Thinking about Neu! and David Bowie. Johnny Cash roaming around the streets. We worked at Ohio, P! made the best quiche I'll ever eat in my life, and J built a future empire upon a pirated computer.

Good friends visited us from Brooklyn. We played music for them, they played music for us, we drank cheap beer out of plastic bottles, and sang on the subway. We rode the tram deep into the East, which has always been one of my favorite things to do.

We made new friends, good friends. We played shows at Ohio. The first one with Spencer and Jesse doing a DB directed play of "The Dumbwaiter". We played afterwards. It was minimal, and it was fierce.

I want to get back at some point. Full band, sound blazing. I want to tour all of Europe. I want to play in Paris. How do we make this happen?
