So we took my bro back to the airport this afternoon only to find that while all the other flights to NY took off on time or even early, HIS flight was delayed five hours until tonight. So basically the reverse of last night. Anyway, he’s safely nodding off on a plane now, and it was more time with him, so it’s all good. Sidenote: at dinner I ate a burger topped with pork belly and a fried egg and chased it down by sharing banana cheesecake, so suck on that, body. Or… something.

Tomorrow I’m coming out from behind the orange curtain and heading back to LA. I’m sort of bummed about that. I sleep 100x better down here where there aren’t a bunch of things waking me up at all hours. But who am I kidding? My brain can’t stand much more holiday time off anyway; it’s been waking me up earlier and earlier with ideas for God knows what. So back to work I go.

Sunday I’m recording the remainder of the background vocals and unbelievably, all three of my backup singers have confirmed. And for once it looks like we won’t be recording in my car.

If all goes well, I should be mixing this damn record by the middle of the month!
