Got some practice done, built a setlist. 1. I've written a new tune: K Road, Thursday Afternoon. 2. A riff from my Irish radio play. I've got quite a catalogue of tunes from unfinished musicals, and this is one of those. 3. It's Only A Paper Moon 4. The Mist 5. Fools Rush In 6. Machine Fatigue 7. Guenever That's if I can get on for a set. The Cannabis party has bands, and apparently Chloe's launch is also tomorrow, and the guys are planning to go to that. Either way, I can't record anything until after this trip. My dumb phone can record, but I can't post those until I get a USB cable, and I'm waiting on my old email to be confirmed to access Dropbox (and any other material of mine, like the demo of the climate chorus).

If I'd wanted to do a proper gig, I'd have set something up. That's next month on Parliament Grounds: I haven't set up a filming team or a day yet, but that's my ideal location, and I think September is the month for that. However, I brought my guitar with me, so I'll probably be noodling the new tune (I've written it out as a list of motifs and instructions) and various other pieces at Hopetoun Alpha. Had some DMT today. Gary's mate Gerry is quite cool: played for Vas Deferens, which I've heard of, but I haven't heard the music. His son threw up taking the changa, which was a first (I'd never seen that reaction before .. he smokes meth,…
