Lots going on

I built a music studio in the warehouse. I designed the space, framed the walls, hung the drywall, laid the carpet, covered the walls, all that stuff. Never done anything like that before. It came out good.

Yesterday I learned to weld. I am in the process of building a set of chimes to install deep playa at burning man. Part of the process involves cutting CO2 canisters to various lengths. Another part involves welding pieces of steel together to make a frame. I like welding.

Thing morning I registered with the Universal Life Church. I am now Revered Mateo José Kátez. I don't feel much holier than I did before.

The War For Santa Claus

I built a room. I had help. Alaska started it when we busted out a wall. Then me and Mr. Gibbons finished it. Tonight I could have gone to a Gibbons and the Sluts show, and I could have gone to Jack Rabbit's gallery opening but instead I stayed home, put some carpet on the ceiling, and set up my recording hardware. About the same time I finished setting up, Mr. Gibbons got home and I asked him to play banjo with me. The result, at the moment, is an mp3 that you can listen to and download if you play the clicketey clack game right here.

Lyrics:

I believe in war but I don't believe in Santa Claus
Can you tell me where he buys his clothes and how much do they cost?
How much does it cost to care?
