When I moved into the studio in December, the property management had told me there were a few units that were used as rehearsal spaces for bands, but that they would be there on evenings and weekends so shouldn’t bother me. Well, I am usually here on evenings and weekends, and I LOVE that I get treated to private concerts every once in awhile! Its definitely a pick me up after a long day and gets my second wind going just when I need it. Since one of the units is directly behind me and shares the same driveway space, I have chatted with some of the guys on occassion, and they have even helped me unload heavy items into the studio when I couldn’t lift them myself.

Lit

A few months ago I was chatting with band member Kevin (on the far right in the picture), who in a strange twist of coincidence, was once my neighbor in Fullerton in 2002/03! Here we are, neighbors again, what a small world. Well, Kevin is the bassist for Lit, a popular band based here in Orange County, and I know you all remember their song “My Own Worst Enemy”, which you can play from their myspace page. They were rehearsing just last week when I was here late one night and was one of the best parts of a particularly long day (I’ll blog about the events of this last week soon).

One of the band members, Allen, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor, the same kind that Senator Ted Kennedy is battling, and they were diagnosed the same week as each other. I’ve been keeping tabs on his progress and came across this article today in the OC Register about an EBay auction they are doing to raise money for his medical costs. Just thought I would share this with you all in case there is something you would be interested in bidding on, some of these things would definitely make a great wedding gift or one of a kind experience to share with your friends and family. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and I will post any major updates here as well. Have a great week!
