The Heat

     Yesterday was a whopping 94 degrees.  One would think that I would be used to this, having moved back up to Seattle from Los Angeles, but humidity here is a different game.  None the less, aside from some more sweat being added to the making of Footnotes (did I mention that that is the name of our album?) it was a productive day.  We worked on Empty Promises, which has an entirely new verse being added to it.  Actually, the verse was written when I wrote the song, but for whatever reason, it never got recorded.  So we re-recorded it and worked on it yesterday.  I also had the chance to hang with our drummer Andrew McInnis later that evening.  What a great guy, and an invaluable addition to RTB!  We have all had our nose to the grindstone very heavily for the last month, and so it was a delight to be able to just sit for a moment and catch up.
     I am also very excited to announce that we are doing a lot of work right now for our show at Seattle's first annual Founder's Day Festival.  There is going to be an interactive fashion show with several designers that is being lined up right now.  And one of them is custom designing a costume for me!!! :)  So I spoke with her yesterday, and we will be buying the fabric for it this coming Monday.  Think futuristic pin-up with some steam-punk thrown into the mix.
     So all in all, we're truckin' along, even in this new (and rather oppressive) heat.  It probably does the sound good though, a little salt to season it just right.
