Here’s a (very compressed quality) video of some stuff I worked on at my recent residency at the experimental television center. That place is so fantastic.

So, I’ve gone on tour with flaming fire for about a month. It should be a crazy time. So far we’ve gotten a flat tire in atlanta and now we’re stuck in mobile, alabama. We met a nice waitress at the Pascagoula Waffle House named “Lil Bit”. She kept saying “make your own damn waffles!” and then asked for our autograph on a napkin. The Birmingham gig at the Bottletree was awesome, though. I’d say that was my favorite thing so far. The gig was set up by an awesome promoter named rebecca from RockPaperRock. they had an airstream trailer for a green room. Super cool. I might have to move down there sometime. Also, Penny from the 11:11 Teahouse in Atlanta is totally great. She’s an herbalist and her place is filled with awesome homemade tea. Beautiful stuff. Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel the sluggo’s gig in pensacola since our van broke down. I don’t understand what’s going on…we’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning for the auto shop dudes to give us a diagnostic.
