Morning Sky

Bah, Humbug!

Weird Light

Nice Day

Today has been a pretty nice day. I put another layer of tung oil on the old project guitar (which has like 5 bazillion coats on it so far), and read some fun books. I also started my completely serious and awesome art noise project. Although Anal Fistula and Orphling are band names in the running I am up for some suggestions. At some point I will start some super cool website or just use one off of facebook or something. Right now Emily and I are dealing with our continuing internet issues by camping out at the local sbux and hijacking their free wifi. This is the sky we saw after dinner. Nice, huh? Also, be on the lookout for a new Greensboro band called Treebeard. The guys in the band are nice, but are always walking around in elf cloaks even when it is really hot out.

Guitar Build Pt. 5

So here is the fifth coat of tung oil on the guitar. Not looking too bad. I plan on finishing the can and then getting into the electronics.

This week has been pretty awesome. I saw my friend Owen perform his new project on Saturday and it was awesome. I also got to check out the Brand New Life at Tate St. Fest. It was fun! Plus we had a chance to have dinner with Jed. I am about to head out to school and take my first Music Theory exam. I'm slightly nervous, but I have studied the heck out of our materials, so I think I will be okay.

Guitar Build Pt. 3 (and 4)

So I have added two more coats to the guitar. This pic is after the third coat of tung oil.

And this one is after the fourth coat.

I planned on adding a coat a day, but I got behind doing other more fun things (hanging out with my friend Matt and having dinner with Ma). The guitar is starting to look way more finished in person. The crap cell phone photos don't really do the gradual gradations in hue any justice.

In other news, this looks to be a really exciting week/weekend. Tomorrow I am hanging out with Jed and going to Tate St. Festival and then going to the Green Bean to see my buddy Owen's release party. I work tomorrow and will be highly caffeinated for these two events. Also, the Wall is being shown at the Carolina theater Thursday, so I'm looking forward to that. And I have an exam next week. It seems exciting when I think about it, but writing it out just make Sat. and Thur. sound fun. I'm sure I will enjoy all of it though.
