JUNE JAMBOREE!

I actually still haven't stopped since the last show at The Roxy - we had a photoshoot all day on Saturday (I did get a couple of clips from that on my camera so if it works I'll post em on You Tube), followed by the radio show, yesterday was full of meetings, and somehow, someone scheduled a call time today of 7.30am!!! Who DOES that??? So here I am guzzling coffee before heading out into the early morning LA haze. Regular readers will remember my "Life Less Ordinary" project...well, we are doing some work on that today. I did hear rumors that Thursday is a full on, no holds barred day off - had one of those on Sunday....it was awesome! I went to see Indiana Jones (which I thought was great - totally my kind of film, and Harrison really IS Indy). I'll do Iron Man on Thursday if the "Day Off" rumor turns out to be true. Oh, and there is a new interview up over at Crusher Magazine in the "Features" section - CLICK HERE TO READ THE CRUSHER MAGAZINE INTERVIEW, and click on the FEATURES button.

This month is also very busy for me, with Las Vegas, Nashville and two New Jersey/New York trips. All good fun stuff. A little Sex Pistols action in Vegas, some music in Nashville, and some movie making over on the East Coast. I even have what I believe to be my FIRST MENTION IN VARIETY MAGAZINE _ HAHA!!! Check out the pic from the last East Coast trip - the Hilfiger Sessions In The Round! At the end of the month I shoot the video to Evergreen here in Los Angeles as well, so June is pretty much blocked out. As my darling wife is still really busy, its probably best that I keep my head down and let her get on with what she has to do - both of our eyes are set firmly on August (and some time together on a beach/under the water). The Pistols also just announced a show at Hammersmith in London which seems suitably enticing!!

I will get the V-Blog together. You know I will. TONS of great footage....I just need to find the time to edit it all. But it will happen. Look at it this way - when you are least expecting it, some choice Freddy footage will surface and you can all revisit the wonderful world of Camp Freddy!! I did at least manage to get another MODERN GUITARS journal entry done. CLICK HERE FOR THE MODERN GUITARS JOURNAL. And lastly a quick question from Jay - he asks about other musicians using your own gear (or you using other peoples gear). Good question mate - and although I do love my guitars, they are only guitars! I dont think anyone would damage them deliberately so I dont worry about it. I am blessed to have enough to loan them to people at shows! Duffy, Jonesy or Cantrell (the usual "borrowers") are all totally respectful, as I would be borrowing their shit. Which answers the second part of your question! Without doubt, recording the guitars to God Save The Queen (for the eventual Camp Freddy album) through the actual amps owned by Steve Jones, was pretty fucking awesome!! OK. Thats it. Podcast is up as usual. I gotta jet - take it easy people.

Peace.

Billy
