Soda Sunday Twenty Nine

Not to brag or anything but I'm writing this blog from my very comfortable plush leather seat aboard the Gulfstream IV we're on right now. Avril took some time away from finishing her record to come raise a bunch of money for Mexico's yearly Telethon Concert and I was honored to be a part. It's always a blast to get back on stage with her, just reminds me of all of the fun times we've had over the years. Anyway its been a crazy day, woke up at 5:30 am after finishing my newest concoction in the wee hours of the morning. went to Van Nuys airport for a 7am departure and landed in Mexico City just in time for lunch. spent most of the day soundchecking, trying to nap and enjoying explaining to the mexican starbucks barista that a "Americano" is not a decaf coffee with water in it. Anyway, we rocked the shit out of the show and got back to the jet by midnight, we're currently somewhere over mexico eating stale chips and guac. I'll be back in my warm cozy bed by 5am making it a wonderful 24hrs of insanity.

Last night, after rehearsal Av played me her entire record and all I can say is that you're going to lose your fucking mind. It's safe to say that next year is her year and I can't wait until you guys get to hear the amazing stuff she's done. One thing is for sure, she's the best singer I've ever heard, I'm just insanely proud of how good it is.

I'm shooting a video on tuesday(more on that to come later). as well as finishing some cool new movie song and getting the mixes of PP and Best Years finalized! Also, "Starbucks Girl" got the thumbs up from everyone after my latest round of tweaks so now we go record the master and the rest will be cake. I couldn't be any more relieved to be finished that song, and ironically, I think the muse herself is probably relieved(but I can only speculate).

Speaking of tomorrow's uStream I can promise you one thing. you don't wanna miss it. Not only will I perform a VERY special song but you MAY just get a surprise.... only time can tell. be there, tomorrow, 2pm PST 5PM PST--> http://tinyurl.com/etustream

Are you all feeling festive yet? I got my x-mas tree all set up, new ornaments and all! This is also the first year that I haven't been completely annoyed by my neighbors psychotically obnoxious monstrosity of a x-mas tree that towers 30 feet into the air and is viewable from all angels(even the fucking 101 dude) and instead am enjoying the buildup to my fireplace, a book, and 48 hrs sans blackberry. I dunno if I'll be in pure solitude this year(which would be a deviation from the last 3 years of x-mas for me). I'll let ya know!...

Who will you kiss on new years? start thinking now, or more importantly start planning something important you can have as a resolution and not give up on too easily. Anyway....

I've been lining up dominos for 5 years now and monday, I will flick the first, only time will tell. See you tomorrow!
Love,
Evan
