STORMY WEATHER

So that was pretty strange. Hurricane Gustav ripped through the Caribbean and wasted a chunk of Jamaica, Haiti, some Cayman Islands and a bit of Cuba - God knows what it will do to the States although predictions seem to be that its force will have lessened by the time it hits. Cozumel did ok - just wind and rain, although check out the pics of the clouds and the lightning. We put our feet up on the balcony and watched it all fly through. And then it was back to blistering sunshine and blue skies as if nothing had happened! My prayers are now for the Gulf Coast people.

I have had a great time out here, but my head is now turning to the coming week, and work. Too much of a good thing always fucked me up, so its time to head back to LA - one more day tomorrow of diving and chilling and I am on a plane outta here. I land Tuesday night, just in time to unpack, repack, and get on the morning flight to New York. A day of meetings on Thursday, fly back to LA on Friday, fly to Vegas on Sat for a DJ gig at Wasted Space at The Hard Rock, and then fly back to LA on Sunday for another DJ gig on Sunday night. Wow!! I'm gonna need a vacation after that lot!!!Hahaha!! Its all good - I cant wait to get started again, and can't wait to get stuck into more Camp Freddy, the next movie and some CFR. Also I need to get the solo music finished and plan something around that. Lots to do, and as you can see the mind is now racing again.

I'll be back at you from New York during the week, so hit me with any questions and I'll get to them in my hotel room. Till then ..... adios amigos.

So, what your saying is that upon your return you will ease back into work?

Your stormy pics are quite beautiful, it's a shame they come with so much destruction.

Get home safely.

Well it should warm up this week in NY....just so you can keep that tropical feel going! ;-)

I do have a question. We were debating on another board about ear monitors and what exactly you hear out of them and their purpose. I know they are supposed to eliminate the need for stage monitors. And I know you have a pair molded for you for CD. Can you explain them a little better??

Billy,

Was recently at the local Guitar Center and had a chance to check out the new Gibson Robot guitar and would like your opinion on it general. What do you think, novelty or a must have?

Here's a link to Gibson's demo on youtube for those who'd like to take a look.

Hey dive buddies!

Glad to hear that you weathered the storm (great pix, by the way). And hope the baby shampoo was enough to get you through the week. ;)

See you in the Maldives!

Awesome pics!! We've had a little of it all day here in Arkansas...raining sideways a bit, limbs down, power out in spots...and MANY visitors from Louisiana who had been evacuated...over 200 taking refuge in our small-town convention center.

Question:
What are the top three things you'd like to be remembered for?
