This one won't be as long. I was telling the story of a weeks worth of bullshit in that last blog. This is just 2 days worth of bullshit.
As for tomorrow, the floor will be ready for furniture so it looks like we'll be ready for a good ol' Friday jam (I haven't spoken to Erk so this is unconfirmed BUT the Erk is usually ALWAYS down unless he has prior commitment). After the Friday rehearsal, Frank and I will start over, moving the furniture back to the painted side of the room and we'll begin washing and painting the band gear side. This shouldn't take as long (I'm sure I'm jinxing us) because we're not doing glitter or gloss.. just straight up 2 coats of black.
Yesterday our 4 year old and I primered the drum riser and the garage door while the other babies napped. She did such a great job.. and it was a huge confidence booster for her! Frank came by at noon to work, but when I heard that he had a class to attend, I sent his ass to class! We help keep each other on track - he does it to me too.
Today is a fun day. I've been way behind on the house since we started work out there. There is Easter grass IN our asses! It's everywhere... so I get to work in here and peek out there once in a while to work here and there. I'm painting the big silver "angerkill" mural across the wall, installing the art piece on the garage door (I'll describe in a moment) and Frank will finish painting our desk and his drum riser. Yes, indeed, there is an end in sight!
The art piece I speak of: our garage door is a 16 panel door with equal square insets and 4 windows across the top. Last night, I primered the whole thing.. windows and all. Richard Chapplow, of siorai.com, sent us an AWESOME picture of an industrial wall with AK painted on it, so I blew it up to 78 inches or something crazy like that, printed it out on a copy machine, and we're applying it to the garage door with wallpaper paste, then glossing it. Here is the picture... it's almost identical, but I have it cropped a bit different and I adjusted the contrast and saturation.
With that, you guys may be able to see what I'm going for. Black, white, gray, red accent wall, red glitter floor, several tapestries... it's definitely the most dramatic room I've designed (I'm not a professional designer - it's just been a HUGE passion of mine for well over a decade). That AK image above will have dark silver metallic crossbars breaking it up.
That's it for now. Frank called at 9:30 this morning and we're ready to ROCK! He's on his way right now and he's supposed to be bringing a camera. Hopefully we have a photoblog here soon.
