The band is GO! We had our first real jam session this weekend, and I see some strong potential in our still unnamed endeavor. I'll have to admit, I was initially a bit skeptical about the whole plan after waiting so long for it to come together. But just hearing us all creating music together, I really feel like we've got something special. We also realized that it'd be a good idea to write down anything good that we came up with, so I think I'll need to start a music notebook soon. That night, we came up with a slow song where the guitar was drenched in reverb and delay, making sound like a mix of Country and Surf Rock. Playing it in the key of Em(?) sounded ominous, so we named it Cowboy Darkness.
Here's a pic of some jammage. Despite the fact that this will provide photographic evidence of our exploitation of Omid's vacant room (and belongings), I feel the significance of the event supersedes incriminating ourselves. Omid's a cool guy, so I don't think we'll be in too much hot water over this.

I think this photo best expresses the general excitement of the arrival of two newly adopted fenders into our family.

As cool as Omid may be, I know he wouldn't appreciate returning to his apartment to find every square inch of floorspace occupied by musical paraphernalia, so I packed up all my stuff and moved it to my apartment. Now I'm living in a double-entendre, it being simultaneously a studio apartment and a recording studio. I'm working on recording some cover songs to post on here. I hoping that after my exam I'll finally have the time to complete and record some original songs.
