done recording.

holy piss the last three days have been long as shit.
night one we got to jeremys and fell asleep not too long after we got there around 3 in the morning and started morning one shortly after al 10am. we planned on doing four maybe five songs but we got the drums set up hella fast and anferny aced the five songs we originally set out to do in about an hour or so so he kept on trucking and turned out ten songs. jeff was up next and got through those ten songs super quick aswell. bryan got all set up started ricing off songs quick as shit too. he got about half way done before we called it quits for the day. after that it was pizza time! we ate and had some beer and kicked it pretty hard over a game of poker for the rest of the night.
day two bryan hauled balls through the rest of the songs as did lucas. i was fucking nervous when it came time to do vocals and recorded the first song and thought it sounded like shit. after i got going things went smooth though. jeremy came over and did some guest vocals that are fucking amazing! holy crap it sounds good. so yeah, i did six songs in a few hours and it started to get late and my voice started getting shitty so we ran for the boarder and had some burritos with more guac that should be legal in washington.. that was an incredibly stupid way to put that. after that some people came over and hung out. i got a little too drunk and nodded off early and the rest of the guys went back to jeremys.
day three was a little hard to wake up form ha. we got going finished up the rest of the vocal stuff. jeff bryan and lucas all sang and sounded fucking rad! the rest of the day was spent getting all the stuff ready and adding all the clicks and whistles. we are all way proud of everything and siked for everyone to check it out.
also we got fleas from ahrens cat.
in all this was one of the best weekends of my life while long fucking great! ahren is fucking awesome. jeremy was great. it was good stuff. thanks guys.
