Diary

We recorded this music one November at M. Bradley Wood's studio entitled "Idful." We met M. Casey Rice who is a good joe, as well as M. Piggy Rice who is a dog. They assisted in the process very ably and sometimes bit our feet, and once played some extra guitar on the record. This all happened in Chicago where brad and Leroy and other people lined in the top of a furniture store. We also lived there briefly an it was nice. After we came home, M. Bradley came out from the city and we all finished the project in a place called "Bad Animals" which reminded me of a luxury hotel to which somebody had just happened to add several large music studios for atmosphere. There we met Adam Kasper and he is great. He knew how everything worked at "Bad Animals" and that was a big help because none of the rest of us did, except for Brad of course who is quite familiar with all that sort of thing. When the record was done, it was time to bother Christopher Thompson. He made up every piece of art included in this thing except for the butterfly which was made up by Nate's father John. Christopher lives in the house where we practice, so he gets credit for patience as well as talent. We then bothered John Wickhart who plays music in Hush Harbor, Andrew Novikoff who runs a bicycle shop named "Bottom Bracket" out of the garage , Aaron Walls who is in law school so don't even think about winning an argument with him and Jade Devitt who has the best room in the house, just because they live there too. Of course Skitty and Hugh Goldsmith are not only incredibly generous, they are also the creators of William. I think the fairest teams would be Shirts: Curtis, Jonathan, Rich, Dave, Bruce, Amy, Trish, Nils, Dan, Jeff and Cara versus Skins: Adam, Suzy, Kevin, Mike, Nikki, Bobbi, Veronica, Toi, Stacy, Kim, Suat, Ian, Susan, and Annie. Jump the Elvis Candy Bar. Thanks to every person we have ever met and yes, we still owe Jason $400. Typing was done by Dan and Jeremy. The layout was Jeff K., And the photography was Lynn Hamrick.
