Joy. I think I've finally fixed LABL. It only took about 13 attempts to get it right. Wow. I've learned a bit in the process, though. The mastering and final tweaking is coming along very nicely at this point. I may be done pretty soon.

Still making small adjustments, but it is getting down to minutia. Tonight I started working out the printing aspect. You'd be surprised how much time it takes to set up all the printing. I made some headway there. If things go well, like they seem to be, then I'll start physically producing a finished product Sunday or Monday.

We had a horrible practice last night for next week's gig. Mmm, boy, was it laughable. I broke a string on both the electric and the acoustic and my throat wouldn't play nice. It was a scene, man. It was slightly productive, though. We just had to laugh. Hopefully, we "got it all out," and won't present that publically - 'cause damn. ;}

Anyway, I've gone back today and made quite a few minor timing adjustments on "Out On A Limb". They were small, but kept buggin' me. Today may be the day that I produce a finished disc.

I've also been designing a flyer to put up in the shops that will carry the disc.

Printing, burning, labeling, cutting...

The disc is available for ordering or downloading, but hasn't been officially announced on the site yet.

I sent out an email to the list today and fixed a batch of discs before they went out to the public. There was a glitch. It's always something.

So, it's been a few days. I've been very busy trying to make sure the disc issue was taken care of. I had to make a special trip out of town to get some blank CDs to replace the "bad" ones [it was a rare track issue]. I had ordered some black-bottom blank CDs last week, but of course they come the morning after the trip. Figures.

Regardless, three vendors have the CD: Good Karma, Sound Shop, and Spiers Music in McComb.

The show went well for the most part, but my voice did give out after awhile - as usual. We gotta have our weaknesses too, don't we? Sold some CDs. Made good tips. It was a successful night overall.

I'm going to have to make another batch of discs soon.

Getting some really nice feedback here and there. I've also teamed up with David Houry in Cleveland who's going to try and help me with a music video for "Death By Luxury." I hope this works out. It'll take a moment to create because there's going to be animation throughout the video. We shall see...

David and I have been corresponding about the animation. It's coming along slowly but surely. We haven't gotten to the storyboard stage yet, though.

David's been working on other projects to make time for mine, so not much has been done lately.

David picked back up with the project last week or so. He's out of school for the summer. He has sent me some more shots and ideas.

David ahs been busy, but is still working. I've talked with him a couple times and we've tried to put the finishing touches on the actions of the animation. He sent me something today that was cool. It's taking forever, but I think it'll be a nice addition to the site. It'll be great for his portfolio. He's got some real talent.

David called me last night and we chatted for a little bit. He's excited about how it's shaping up. Maybe it'll be done by the end of August. Here's hoping.

Here's a preliminary snag:

It's getting close to being finished. It'll be done in early September it looks like.

The animation should be finished, and I'm now waiting on David to send me the uncompressed files so I can put the finishing touches on it.

He sent it Saturday. It should be going up soon.

It's posted.

I'm very pleased with the final result. It's been an interesting process, and it's been worth it. Thanks to David.
