Where is everyone?

Service dog is bored.
 
A third side note: Back in the day, the band I was in recorded an album in the engineer's parent's house...in the hills overlooking Camarillo. Twas very nice!

Almost 10 or so year ago, the band I am currently in (with an 80% different lineup) opened a show for a band called Hellride.
Hellride consisted of Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction/Poro for Pyros) on drums, Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros) on guitar, and Mike Watt (well known round these parts) on bass.
Our singer talked with DiStefano, who was doing some producing and was interested in recording them. One day they needed a ride to DiStefano's house to do some guitar tracks, so I went along with them to Peter's house... in Camarillo.
 
Looks like Cam's a much more popular place than I thought. The weather is nice, but there's not much to do. Even Wendy's closes at 9:00!

If any of you fine folks find yourselves in this town with some time on your hands, PM me. I'll treat ya to a fine doughnut at Rolling Pin (best doughnuts in town, and the only late night hangout around these parts).

Well since we're dropping names, the engineer was the same guy who played sax on Sublime's first album!
 
IMHO closing your eyes and letting it go is the best method. Be careful though. It hits you like a baseball bat.

Letting go shouldnt be a problem, Im an hallucinogenic child.

Getting hit with a spiritual baseball bat sounds like fun!

Thats not name dropping, thats, I dont know what that is, but there is no name!
 
That'd be a great place to do such a thing, but I wont take credit for the words, they came from the mouth/mind of Maynard James Keenan, or possibly someone else in the band Tool.

Those words being with "Today a young man on acid realized that..."

And eventually goes into this:

"Dreaming of that face again. It's bright and blue and shimmering. Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes. On my back and tumbling down that hole and back again rising upand wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye. In Out In Out In Out A child's rhyme stuck in my head. It said that life is but a dream. I've spent so many years in question to find I've known this all along. "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running?" Shrouding all the ground around me. Is this holy crow above me. Black as holes within a memory and blue as our new second sun. I stick my hand into his shadow to pull the pieces from the sand. Which I attempt to reassemble to see just who I might have been. I do not recognize the vessel, but the eyes seem so familiar. Like phosphorescent desert buttons singing one familiar song... "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running away?" Prying open my third eye. So good to see you once again. I thought that you were hiding. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing the tail of dogma. I opened my eye and there we were. So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing a trail of smoke and reason. Prying open my third eye."

Third Eye - Tool

I my boredom Ive been looking up Tool lyrics.

It says somewhere that a time will come when we will be filled with a second sight. That our children will know and speak of things that could not be revealed to them through flesh and blood. That inspiration will come to our old men and women through amazing dreams and all of them will have visions. I know from experience that time is now.

Kidding, but maybe not. I definitely have this feeling that something is coming, and I see peoples third eyes opening more and more everyday.
