NEW ON THE BEAT

Hey, Y'all! My January On the Beat column is now up on EightMillionStories! It's a virtual tour of North 15th and Gem!! Enjoy.

WILCO LOFT

This here's a link to a very cool article about Wilco's loft in Chicago. Click me!

For a bit of contrast, here's a quick video of our practice space. (God help us - we have a YouTube account.) The boys were busy geeking out about Keith Moon or something when I shot this. I don't even hear it anymore.

GORGEOUS PRACTICE SPACE PT. 2

I've posted about our gorgeous practice space bathroom before but it never gets old.

There are some new additions to the bathroom. The people that frequent our practice space building are so creative that they just can't stop - even in the bathroom. I've heard that people can get inspired in the shower and stuff so maybe this makes sense.



Those are some inspired lyrics. Please disregard the smear towards the bottom.

There are some painters in the crowd as well:



Fantastic work.

And, no soap. Lovely!

GORGEOUS PRACTICE SPACE

The soap is almost gone but somehow I don't think many people are using it...

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE

Looks like the rogues in our practice space are at it again. These signs were posted next to all of the garbage cans by the management probably because they were sick of the garbage bags leaking rotting beer juice. I'm glad someone decided to take it upon themselves to offer up a simple solution. Finish your beers, lightweights!

THE ROGUE DECORATOR STRIKES AGAIN!

Where is TRD getting these flags?

OUR BELOVED PRACTICE SPACE

There are some characters at our practice space. The Midget Prog Band, the Dying Quail, Jay Honstetter. But now there is a new one - The Rogue Decorator. Here is the hallway as it was:



Pretty bland, right?

Not anymore!
