Phish

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0700

On Halloween 2010 I had the great pleasure of play trumpet with Michael Leonhart, Stuart Bogie, Aaron Johnson and Ian Hendrickson for Phish's Halloween Record Album Costume. This year they performed Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus. It was an incredible experience. After rehearsing for two days we headed down to atlantic city for the show. The freaks were out in costume and the music was epic. Trey, Jon, Page and Mike were extremely kind and positive to work with on and off stage. Back stage was filled with juicing, singing, percussion, brass. Giovani Hildago joined phish for this show as well. Giovani is a world renowned percussionist that has a serious sense of humor and he loves fresh juice and wings. Till next time have a great day. Peace, Eric

Little Things

Last night I arrived in Tampa which is my new home for the next week. The long jouney to Australia seems like a blink of an eye in retrospect. The order of events there and back. Laundry is drying, get a call to be at the airport immediately, Winter snow storm, throw entire load into suitcase, catch cab to JFK, Flight cancelled, rebook ticket on competitor airline in order to make connection, 6hour flight from JFK, to LAX, In LA, find out my original flight wasn't cancelled, late night calls to band manager in order to reinstate the original reservation which had been cancelled cause I wasn't on my uncancelled flight, nail biting, placed on hold, helpful counter person, paitence, Stuart Bogie, reservation reinstated, 14 hours to Brisbane, 5 hour flight to Perth, Beers in van, Ben Newby, 2 hour van ride to Busselton, Amaroo Hotel, long awaited shower, Very disorriented, Burping up airplane breakfast lunch and dinner, Night off at the Wombu Festival, free beers and food, back to the hotel.....to be continued.

The Perfect Temperature for Life

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Life is such a delicate circumstance.
Only the perfect conditions can create life as we know it. On other planets we may not recognize life. because we are so curious to find ourselves or something similar. The mysteries of chemistry will continue to boggle us. Why are we on this planet? What makes us breathe? Why do we become hungry roughly three time a day? I was just standing on a balcony at the ritz carlton in orlando, florida. Looking up at the night sky I thought about the delicate combination of elements needed to come together for life. I also thought about how destructive we can be to ourselves under this condition. People that are in tune with the magnitude of this miracle often rush themselves to death. Blurred by the conditions they call life they drink, smoke, eat the wrong stuff and ignore the
magnitude of the miracle. As far as the hubble can see we don't see ourselves out there. But we are and things are and only a fool believes that we are a the only thing "living" in this universe. Ok gotta eat this burger. Hope you are expanding your horizons!

Have a great night!

Some people have pain in the ass written on their face

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Imagine you are in the retail industry. Whether you are selling tickets or sweaters. You will run into people that are a pain in the ass. For all I know you might be one. If you think you might be one please keep reading. You probably have a weird walk if you are a female you would be taking short fast step, if you are a male your probably stopping alot then walking really fast in intervals. You like to feel a sense of entitlement. LIke you somehow know more or deserve more than the rest of us cattle. See in this world you can be a normal human if you let go of these high expectations. You can resume your pain in the ass tendencies when you get back together with your other pain in the ass friends.
Then you guys can do what ever you want. I can spot a pain in the ass a mile away. It's pretty easy just look for a walking butt hole. From a distance you can see this person probably never felt love on any level. I feel sorry about that that's very sad for me. But if that person could recognize that being a pain in the ass is keeping them from that then I'd be happy.
So if you find yourself asking to many questions you are veering toward increasing the stock value of over the counter pain killers. Listen to the rest of the world save yourself from asking redundant questions and be like cattle in a cattle environment. Otherwise I might have to treat your for mad cow disease.

Have a great day sucka!

Eyes and Ears

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I woke up this first to the sound of 300 elementary children talking to each other about how many levels they beat on the kung fu panda video game. Actually it happens every morning for about an hour. On top of the pre-pubescent hum, there is the principal that speaks with an electronic megaphone. She has a brooklyn tinge to hear voice, although I've never seen her I'm imagining she looks like Fran Drescher. Anyway, my point is there should be a volume tax in this world. In most cases we pay to hear something like a concert or a book on tape. But so many people in this work make annoying inconsiderate sounds on others expense. Myself included! But for fun, lets say you have a yappy little dog that loves to bark every time a little leave blows by the window. You should pay a tax for owning a dog that has barking tendencies. Local governments could set up radar/microphone vans that ride through your hood and anonymously tag you like a facebook photo. Who's in?
I'm just venting!

Have a great day!
