We finished tracking for the album on Sunday. We recorded all the vocals at our practice studio to save money. My favorite part was on Sunday when we recorded gang vocals. I sat outside while Tim finished up his vocals. With an acoustic on my lap and lyrics hand written on the back of old show posters I taught the group of 7 a couple choruses. Neighbors stopped and listened to a sound and sight I'm sure they where not used to. When the time came, we circled around a single microphone in the center of the room. I wish all those faces had been in the room when I was recording my vocals. I think I would have been more relaxed.
I was supposed to meet with an independent label on Saturday in Mankato to discuss promotion, touring and releasing the album. Laura and I made a day out of it. We got down their and ordered lunch at a small coffee shop. Then I had an appointment to get a RNC solidarity tattoo that some members of the Mankato Area Activist Collective had already gotten. I called the office of the label before we started. No answer. So afterward I called his cell phone only to find out that he was in Minneapolis. Laura and I then headed back to the cities. We'll see about this label.
