Hey all! I hope that everyone out there is doing alright since I have not seen any of you since may when finals hit and I flew out of town. Since then my roommate and I have been spending some time here in Pittsburgh taking classes to get ready for the fall. We both have some family here so we just chose to sublet a place to pass the time and take a class each to get ahead of our education goals. We have also been playing lots of music while we're out here. I only brought my acoustic guitar and my pedals so I have been trying my best to make some interesting noise with my limited supplies. He brought his electric keyboard with him and we have been writing a good bit of music. When we get back in to town you will all have to come out and see us. Right now we haven't been recording much of it since we really only have a tape recorder and limited time and money to get in to a real studio. Instead we have been focusing much of that kind of energy towards writing and towards playing with street musicians we find around. There are a couple of places we have gone every week to play with a couple of guys who play guitar together all the time. It's been a really enriching experience in that way.

The real life saver for us out here in terms of just keeping us in our little apartment and out of trouble has been our computer. We if you have been lucky enough to get email from me this summer you have gotten a lot of them I bet. Both of us have gotten a job online doing some freelance writing for and independent advertisement firm and so a lot of our time is spent online. We always joke about having to pawn an instrument to keep our Pittsburgh internet access but it is true that this has been our primary tuition money, food money, and our spending money source all summer long. If you haven't gotten an email from us yet then please hit me up and we'll chat before I come back in September. I hope all is well out there wherever you all are.
