EYEBALLS AND OTHER ODDITIES

Whats the matter with me? Posting two days in a row? Must be something I ate!!! So, I am up early for this Lasik consultation. Its not the surgery today, just a two hour appointment where they dilate your pupils and mess around to figure out exactly what they need to do. The actual surgery will be in a week or so. But I have to say I have always been the kind of person that doesn't think too much about stuff like this. I just walk in and do it - my whole life, I have just been, sort of ..... 'do it now, think about it later'!! - hence I am covered in tattoo's, have broken my bones more times than I care to remember, and spent a lot of years addicted to drugs!! BUT ..... on the plus side, if I hadn't just upped and moved to the States, I wouldn't be married to my soulmate, playing in Camp Freddy and Doheny etc etc. So I figure it all works out in the end - and thats why I wont think about this Lasik thing. ...."Doc, just cut me open and sort it out!!"

Doheny's managers are currently in the UK, doing some unrelated work, but I had a call yesterday from them. It appears they are taking some very successful meetings over there on our behalf. I cant wait for them to get back, so that I can find out if we made any progress with the UK labels. Now wouldnt that be funny - Jon and I come half way around the world, and end up signing the band to a UK label??!! We shall see....

A quick cry for help. I have been trying to get some video together to send to Karen, who looks after the www.dohenymedia.com site. I have three or four DVD's with stuff that I want to copy and send to her. I use Mac computers and I use Final Cut Pro to put together film and output it as a quicktime movie. Easy. Except when I try and import the stuff into FCP I can only get the video in (from the Video-TS folder) and cant find the audio!! Anyone have any bright ideas?

Now then:
Jezzi - This jig thats meant to be up. What do you mean? I got your email as well. We are going nowhere and CFR continues to go from strength to strength. You won the competition and you will be hosting with us. Just sort it out with the people at Indie. Do NOT stress - its happening!!!

Cori - I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have all the books in hard back first editions, and the first three DVD's. The new book (Half Blood Prince) comes out on July 15th. My copy is already ordered!! And thanks for bringing up the "what if there's an earthquake while they are digging about in my eyeball" thing!! I hadn't thought of that one!!

Jay - Word on the SF show is that its a private event, with a few friends. Its not a full on, all singing all dancing Freddy show. It'll still be a cool show (the Incubus guys are always a blast) and our usual suspects on the guitar will be there. After Dave finishes the Rockstar TV thing, we will do another LA show for everyone. In the Fall sometime.

Junebug - My folks tried hard to understand the 'Hollywood' thing, but its just too much for them!! From the choice available in the grocery store, to the size of some of the Bel Air and Beverly Hills houses, their minds are blown constantly at the way things are here. But they are good sports - last year, they came to see Doheny play a show at The Gig!!!

Danielle - I already know that the Lasik doesnt hurt. I have a bunch of friends who have done it and they all say the same. But I will have some digi pics done while they do it and will write a report once its done.

Zanabee - All I can say is .... todays pic is for you!!

Jake - Funnily enough, I have been talking with the surf company, ONeill (who gave Jen and I our wetsuits) about some Camp Freddy boardshorts. They sent me a mock up of the srtwork and they look fucking awesome. I hope they do a limited run, and we will then make some available on the site. The last run of CF tee's were given to us as competition prizes for the radio show and thats what we have been giving away on the show. But when the album gets done, we will do a hat and tee for the site as well.

Laurie - I have no idea about Thursday's Rokbar thing - just do what I used to do....which is get dressed up and pretend I know someone and just walk in!!

Tina - Enjoy your two weeks vacation. After Hawaii, I am now an advocate of two weeks holiday every month!! Now how do we get jobs like that??.......

OK - Thats the Tuesday Morning Roundup. Gotta get some coffee inside me, so I can be awake enough to listen to what this Doctor's saying to me! Have a great day everyone.

Peace

Billy
