WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT!!
Running late this morning (probably due to the video editing on the V-Blog!! - I got a little crazy today!!) so I'm gonna keep it brief. Hope you enjoy the Blog - one of these days I'm going to buy an underwater video camera and then we can REALLY get into some cool Blogs! For now, it is what it is - no reason for doing it, other than I can! Hope you enjoy it. The whole thing on the boat was hilarious - every time I tried to light a cigarette up, some guy would come along and stop me .... it became a game between them and us .... cat and mouse!! The fact we got an incident on camera was funny - I had no idea he was behind me when I lit that one! Later today I am working on the acoustic Circus Diablo with a friend of mine, who's going to do some percussion on the track. Once thats done, I can sing on it, mix it, and it'll be up on the site in no time. I am also in the studio tomorrow with Mike Clink, singing on one of the Camp Freddy album tracks. It'll be good to work on that thing again - its been forever since we did anything on it!!! I'll do a Q+A blog sometime during this week, so let me have it - and I am also attempting to keep an eye on the topics over on the Community, and will respond as and when I have time over there as well. This whole Web thing can get quite time consuming! But I love doing it, so its all good. OK, I really have to get out of here, so I'll see y'all later.

I have to download the Vblog when I get home (at work) but why wouldn't he let you smoke? Because of the O2 on board?
Can't wait for the acoustic tracks for us!

If it is anything like Washington State Law, You can't smoke anywhere. Used to be able to enjoy a nice quiet smoke on the Ferries while on the way to work and back, but no longer...

Just wondering if you are planning on a chatroom for the site or sites and then maybe having a live chat sometime??......(hint hint)
Don't ask for a lot do we.
The live chat was really cool on your Doheny site, .

Ok downloaded and watched the V-Blog. The Jaws music was a nice touch, congrats on your certification!

thanks for answering my somewhat relentless questions on the recording process.
you've made comments on CFR about how the music business has changed & particularly about the influence of the internet getting bands "out there" to the ppl. do you think the internet could be a "negative" for artists? if so, in what way?
love the dive footage.

That rocked!! Jen is certified too, right? I don't think Will is going to talk me into doing that with him. Something very claustrophobic about the whole thing from my perspective. I'll just wait on dry land with a towel. heehee. Would love to see some more pics when you go on vacation. The one with the octopus on the head from the last trip was fantastic!!! Enjoy your week. ~Bonita

Sharks.....why'd it have to be sharks????
Ok, the beginning of that blog completely wigged me out. Great Whites... gaaaaaahhhhh. Critters...that's why I don't scuba dive. There's CRITTERS that big in the damn ocean, with big sharp nasty teeth (picture John Cleese ala MP&THG's TIM the enchanter).
Pools..yeah..bring on the chlorine!
Loved the blog tho. Catalina is gorgeous tho, looks like you enjoyed your dive. My hat is off to you.

Ok..here's a question for the Q&A. What 'extreme' sport have you not participated in yet, but would LOVE to? I'm an adrenaline junkie, so skydiving would have to be 'it' for me. Curious minds want to know.

Now you will have to invent the underwater Laptop and underwater cigarette.
Did Duff carry your air tanks for you?

Hey Billy,
Found out that you will be playing at my work on the 20th of October. Any chance of getting a photo of you and or the band?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
Where do you work? ;-)

Billy, what is the new gun you are getting? How many guns do you now?
Posted by: Simon at April 25, 2006 06:07 PM
Fuck man....
THAT SHIT OWNED!!! :D
Very good stuff. It would win my vote as the greatest ever you've done if it had some music shit as well, that could've been a bit schized out, though.... the shooting range one.... ah, they are all dope. Good shit! Beth was rad. It's funny you mentioned "junkie"... So that leads me to a question-
Care to mention how one could go from being a "down and out" unkown mainliner to being a success full and fun lovin Musician/artist/person?! Or would that info require an autobiography (bio-V-blog)?!

I really liked your V-blogs, but starting to think you missed your calling as they are so entertaining and well thought out!! Cheers Billy and keep them coming, they are really awesome.
