So after eating my weight in empanadas, crappy overpriced hoagies, huge union city pizza slices, and smoking my lungs to the state of a prune we have finally wrapped up tracking. Other than smelling like an ass sandwich for three days and having to deal with the aftermath of Greg's Taco Laco dinner, I'd say it went pretty well. I finished up bass just after midnight and literally after hitting my last note of the last song we packed up and hightailed it back to south philly, only to find the biggest party our house has ever seen. This was all the work of Joe's wonderfully handsome younger brother Tony, who accommodated what seemed to have been half the crowd attending the Propagandhi show that night in philly. With that said, our plans to come home and relax quickly turned into a much obliged all night drunk and session of our new EP. Since I don't remember much after that I'll rewind back to Union City.

For those who have never been to the city of Union, upon entering it doesn't take very long to realize it's populous is primarily of Hispanic and Latino decent. We were told it's estimated 40% of the city is illegal immigrants which makes it fuckin' hard to find places that bother excepting credit or debit cards and lucky for me I had no cash! Aside from that we had plenty of fun walking around and showing off the little Spanish we knew. As we expected we had another great experience spending time with Jesse and Mike at the studio. Those guys really know what they're doing and we can't thank them enough for the determination they have in making everything sound great.

Along with missing Propagandhi we also, for the first time in years, sadly missed our hometown Scranton St. Patrick's day parade. I'm German/Polish so actually I don't really give a fuck, it's just fun to pretend you do and drink yourself into a coma with the other 150,000 people that stampede in a drunken mess through the downtown streets and plethora of bars in Scranton. Scranton apparently has the 4th largest St. Paddy's Day parade in the world. But oh well, there's always next weekend to get drunk… or tonight. Ok, I think that about sums this whole experience up and for the video game nerds I'm feeling like today's a shitty enough day to play a couple hours on my profile in Ocarina of Time. Take care!!
