HERE WE GO AGAIN.

Bless me, oh Bloggers, for I have sinned. It's been four days since my last confession .... I mean post. I wanted to do another V Blog, but first of all, things got pretty hectic all of a sudden (after about two months of not a lot going on) and secondly, I havent done much except emails, phone calls and meetings. Video of me discussing production plans with our tour manager on the phone is not exactly riveting!!! But I wanted to post again, and I figure that with the stuff coming up, there's going to be more than enough opportunity for some cool V-Blogging action. As you know, Camp Freddy are playing in New York, and we've now added an appearance in Vegas a few days before. Its just one song, and I have no details at all. But just the act of Freddy going to Vegas always elicits some choice moments. So what with the Vegas trip and the New York trip, we should be swimming in video pretty soon. For now, its a text blog - and todays pics are due to me trawling through old Camp Freddy folders. Check out the absolute DOPE pic at the top of Mr Steve Issacs (from The Panic Channel) and myself, taken by our manager, Brent Bolthouse.

Big up and massive respec' to Rik from Rated Art, and our very own Jay, who are helping build the new Forum for all the sites. Simply called THE COMMUNITY, it will be based over at the Circus Diablo site, but will be linked everywhere, and will have topics for both Circus Diablo chatter, and other stuff as well. All associated projects will be covered - other bands, previous bands, appearances - it should end up being a great place. And Rik and Jay are being superstars in the process - Jay will moderate the Forum, and Rik is doing all the complicated PHP stuff. Me? Well I just did the artwork, the design and came up with the topics. So really, I didn't do anything very much!!! I'll let you know when its all done and up and running - and I encourage you all to register. Dont just come on as a guest - its way better if you are part of the crew on a Forum.

Circus Diablo have a few things going on as well. Some meetings happening over the next few days - just discussing the game plan, and talking shop with a few people. And Billy and Ricky will be coming over to my studio to work on an alternate version of the song Loaded, that appears on the forthcoming album. The idea is to do an acoustic (ish) version of the song to put up on the MySpace profile. Just trying to give you guys something to fill the gap between now and the summer. No doubt we will also write a couple more tunes while Billy is here in LA - just cos its fun!! We are also doing a cover shoot and interview for a new magazine thats launching in June. More details when I have them.

So there's enough going on to keep me fairly busy right now - an all new CFR tomorrow with Dave and myself ..... and I hear that Gilby Clarke and Jason Newstead will be joining us. That should be a lot of fun. And don't forget the DJ gig down in Santa Monica next Thursday 6th April. Its launching Geoff Thomas's new line of custom jewelry - the same guy that made my solid gold earplugs. I'll be DJ'ing and if you wanna go, just RSVP to info@geoffthomasdesigns.com and tell them you are from this site. You'll be taken care of. Other than that, I have a performance of Hedwig to attend at the ubiquitous Roxy on Monday night, and a fashion show on Tuesday night. Oh yeah, and I am still tweaking all the sites. The tattoo page is coming along nicely - my plea for tatt pics yielded a good response, and the page is now starting to look cool. Please email me any more, with details of where you got them. I think the idea of a Community Tattoo Page is great, so dont be shy ..... SHOW US YER INK!!

Will - Heinz Beans can be found but at a premium. And I dont think they taste as good, cos they sit on the shelves here and no one buys them!!

Paul - I actually like to let the tattooist get on with it and do what he wants. Most of my sleeves and my back were pretty much ..."I dont care - just fill it all in!!" and the rest (like the core one) are just 'good ideas at the time'!! They'll all look the same in 20 years anyway - all blue, spread and saggy!!

Twisted Angel - I cannot WAIT to see The Hills Have Eyes! I love shit like that - but the wife is not so keen. So we do the thing where we both go to the movies together but see different films! I feel one of those trips coming on with that movie. And just hit the 'Email This Site' link and attach the tattoo pic to the email. Technology does the rest.

SonicGeisha - Just for you, a new pic!! And yes - I was peeing!!

OK - the last disc of Season 4 (of 24) has arrived, the curry is on its way up, and I am done. Have a fabulous weekend, thank you all for being a part, and I will answer any questions you like in the next blog. So bring it on.

Peace

Billy
