Sound Bar Blues
Mike Girek remade the cover and added Satan Klaus to it.
Today began just about as fucked up as any day in any schmucks life could. Somehow after breaking sweat in the Chicago humidity and ridiculous heat, it got better once I got out of the house.
#1) Got an email from Angie and Al Jourgenson and MINISTRY are going to play a one -off Chicago show on Al's B day. They want me to throw another party at NEO for the afterparty and for the birthday boy.
#2) Mortiss is for sure flying from Norway in Sept. to stay with me and appear in person at his record release party I'm doing at NEO. He's in NYC today filming his video then Earache are paying for his flight in Sept to come play in Chicago. You have to see the two of us in rare form.
#3) We are plugged again, this time at www.ainews.com/story/7111/ so that's 3 in a row that I'm aware of this week for some MK promotion. Being that today everyone should have received their issues I imagine next week will be huge. Single orders are coming in from all over through pay pal.
#4) My brother is coming in August to stay with me and go to Ozzfest. Now that's going to be a hoot.
Last night my friend Lesley picked me up and took me to what was supposed to be a cool fashion Show at The Sound bar downtown. Now fucking Jesse Jane could of been there and it wouldn't have made it any better. She was wearing a really hot black dress with her tats showing as sleeves and I of course was in black with my cowboy boots. We made a few observations and after about an hour and a half of downtown yuppiedrone BS we spilt looked for the car and came home. It was cool hanging out and chatting with her, but I have no use for clubs like Sound Bar and neither does she.
Lesley is running the Chicago Underground film fest this year. And there are bands after the showings everynight after the screening. This years guest is MK's favorite Jim Van Bebber.
Big weekend planned and and even BIGGER week next week. I'm actually pretty excited about it.
Right now, time to do the news and rest. - AZ
