I live halfway across the country and I knew Kansas City was in Missouri. You're dumb.

Bad advice all across the board. All he needs is an extender.

Start juicing man! You won't mind small balls since you have ED.

Sound equipment test phase in prep for the wedding. A generous contact provided me with the extra amps and speakers I needed to wire up both the front and back yards for sound. Using Yamaha's first consumer integrated unit for the ceremony and their second unit for the reception. JBLs taking care of the front and a classic pair of Advent 1s in the rear. (My Focal floorspeakers are not to leave my office!)

Another friend offered to manage the live mixing and wireless camera feeds to produce the live stream and brought an 8 channel board for added control. Later in the week we'll test all the video gear to make sure processing power is sufficient for the multi-cam live feed without frame drop.

It's coming together nicely. Just 3 weeks to go.

Let's recap last night.

Went to my favorite bar/venue, Yerberia Cultura. Pre-gamed before with cheap whiskey and coke and a glass of red wine. I get there and get asked by an 8th grade history teacher if I'm registered to vote and follow that with a 30 minute convo about politics. After that I immediately shoot for the bar and get all the PBR's they have left. Now I'm drunk. Running out of smokes, thank God I bought a pack before I showed up. I get asked by a girl for a cigarette, she gets incredibly thankful because I had menthols. Then she tells me I'm gorgeous and loves my Bowie shirt. I start to think "yes, this girls cute as fuck and she's calling me gorgeous, I'm getting laid tonight". But then says "THIS IS MY WIFE, SHE'S IN THE BAND TONIGHT". Damn. Old Peter (my cock) will have to wait a few more nights.

Then I go to the bathroom and make a joke while at the urinal, now I'm washing my hands and this dude hands me a bottle of the same cheap whiskey I drank hours before (Kentucky Deluxe). I take a shot and head back into the crowd. Now the main act is on, they were called Pinata Protest and I was front row. They were a straight up Mexican punk band. You can't make this shit up. It was actually badass. So then I try and crowd surf and I'm on the guard rail and jump but I land on people and they immediately put me down. It was just not happening. But hey I tried.

Then the concert ends and I go back to my car. Guess what. My lights were on the whole time. My battery was dead. Fuck me sideways. I go back and ask everybody for spark plugs and of course nobody has any. Long story short this guy with my name helps me out and this nice couple jump start the shit out of my car. To quote Kanye: "I was drinkin' earlier, now I'm driviin". Got home pretty safe. It was great.

I contributed to RYM today. I saw that Kishi Bashi's Japan-only EP release of Philosophize! Chemicalize! was missing from his page, so I uploaded it. I had no idea how many hoops I'd have to jump through just to get an entry up. RYM is nothing if not thorough in its cataloging.

Spark plugs?

It's rather easy to just get a release uploaded but cover art and corrections are a whole different story.

I sourced cover art from a random page, not another music database site.

It'll take a few days to a few months for them to approve it though.

Those jerks.
