Not going home between tour legs can really be disorienting. June 19th to Aug 5th left me seven weeks away and while by old school and most tour standards, that is just a short jaunt, for me personally I just feel like I have been batted around like a cat toy.
"Hey man, what have you been up to?"
"Ahh, not much, just mixing and travelling around a bit, ya know, well , lets see I went to do some SoundGarden dates and then went on to do some Chili Peppers gigs"
All I really did was go to.........

There is plenty more to come as I think we at only 2/3's or so of the way through tour. Ha! I sometimes I wonder why I feel like I have such a hard time staying focused on projects. Looking at all this in one spot makes me not feel so bad. Anyway, looks like I am going to rock a bunch more seminars on this next trip out, hope to see ya there!
And say hi to the sound crew!
