tonight there was a small fire in our building... i was just getting ready to record more vocals when the alarm went off... at first we wondered if it was a false alarm, but when i checked the hallway i could smell smoke. i ran back to the studio, unplugged the harddrive and stuffed it into a bag, grabbed my gibson (while marc grabbed his upright bass) and we carted everything down the 9 flights of stairs. thank god the fire department is only a couple blocks up the street... we could hear the sirens and see the trucks coming from the window even before we got our shoes on. kinda funny, waiting in the lobby with the other tenants, holding my harddrive - but at least if the building burnt down the record was safe!!

back to recording...
