shirts. annie's. lack of sleep.

Played at Annie's on Queen with Make Your Exit and Jay Spectre tonight. Not many people there but they seemed to be listening quite intently to our set. That is always cool. We bagged off on any keyboard/sequencing songs and therefore setup and loading were a bit more leisurely. For me it is sometimes nice to just setup my guitar stuff and just play guitar. I really like the piano and have been inching more and more keyboard stuff into the songs when it's called for but let me tell you it is not a fun thing to move around.

After unloading the Fiver (our trusty Astro van) Emeri and I headed back to my place to work on a new shirt. It is a tv with large fluffed out wings probably on heather black shirt. yes, little death metal-ish but we all really like the design so we're going ahead with it. I'll post some pictures when we get the shirts back from Civilian. I am very happy we've started using American Apparel shirts. They are fairly manufactured and feel a lot nicer to the touch. The company also uses "team manufacturing" which pools the strongest workers towards priority orders. Each team functions autonomously and determines its own daily production schedule, giving them control over their own hourly wages. After its implementation, garment production tripled and required a less than 20% staff increase... I took that from Wikipedia, but it's a neat fact I remembered reading about the company when we switched over. I swear I don't work for AA.

Well. Busy day tomorrow.

Night.
