There’s a Press Tones show tonight at Abilene. I don’t think we will make it but you never know. We are headed over to Bill and Geri’s to see the progress they have made on their tiled house. I see a lot of people cover their original wood siding with aluminum but not Bill and Geri. They have been slowly applying all shapes and sizes of colorful tile to the side of their house.
We worked on the Scorgie’s site for Tom Kohn today. Tom is planning a Scorgies Reunion show at the German House in November with some of the bands that used to play there. New Math, Personal Effects, Absolute Grey and The Press Tones are on the bill. We have been setting up a site for Tom that will hopefully run itself. People should be able to post stories, pictures, posters, mp3 files and videos to the site without 4D Advertising wrestling with all the little pieces.
Today we spent a good bit of the day getting this slideshow script to automatically size and post thumbnails without distorting them and also size and post larger files that can viewed in a Lightbox slide show. The Press Tones sent in a poster from one of their gigs that was actually a poster that I made for our band, The Hi-Techs. We played this date with them opening. I hadn’t seen ithe poster in a while.

how bout a pic of the tile house
Presstones were fun though I prefer the Chinchillas. More fun was dancing and seeing faces from the past. I still think the band concept for the Scorgies reunuion is entirely wrong. Tom should set up amps and drums on stage and have bands do 2-3 three songs each and get more bands on stage for a more representative cross section what made the place so interesting: It wasn’t the club, it was the scene that grew around it. These bands (NM, PE, Absolute, etc.) were part of it but certainly only part of it.
