September 26, 1999 - Good job on Sunday, for those of you who were there, I appreciate your attendance. We got some work done, but we ate more pizza and played more football then created hit singles. I wasn't that impressed with Project Orange's progress, but still we did make some, like the horn players can solo to it now. I would like to make the announcement that the rhythm section's new group, Pidgeon Poo, we made up our first song Wishes. Take 1 available below. Right now I am eating the single slice left from our 3 large pizzas, I can believe how much you ate, guys, that's alot, I barely ate two slices. I just can't eat din din at 4:00. For those of you who didn't make it, I would like to stress that when you don't make it you don't play it. So please come when you tell us you will. *** Ok, now three hours later, I find out that my stupid tape deck ruined the Wishes song. Oh well. Make sure you read this whole page, it is important.

Read Important!!! Future Plans
All you horn players need mutes of every kind, shape, color, and plungers, and all those cool thingies that make you sound stupid. I request this because they sound stupid, and that's good. Oh yeah, someone left their cork mute here, I threw it away.
If you were here on Sunday you know that my primary tape deck broke down (and it's still got the Project Orange tape in it and it won't eject!) and we had to swap decks about half way into practice. The one we're using now is OK, but the meters are really hard to read and adjust, there's no mike inputs (meaning I always have to use a mixer), and the thing's erase head just plain sucks, so you have to use a brand new tape every time. NO!!! That means bad recordings. And this is all not good, because now I have to buy a new tape deck. This is gonna cost a lot.
Not only that, but I also have to buy my new microphones for the studios. And on top of that, a stand for each, and an adapter for each, and a cord for each. Garbage.
The upside is that the mics we get will double as perfect stage equipment, and we'll have a really sweet sounding stage set. That also means we could make great live recordings.
Let me get to the bottom of this. We need money. So we need to figure out a way to raise money. A new tape deck is gonna set us back about $300, each mic about $90 bucks, and we need about 6 of them. This bites!

Later, not now.
