Cool stuff i learned about the boredom's at yesterday's performance.

1. Eye uses 7 or 8 guitar necks each tuned to different chords that are mounted on drum hardware. Apparently, this guy Tsuji (who's a touring member, and chain smokes lots of tobacco) built it.

2. White staff means loud and chaotic drumming. Red=hit and stop Blue=hit and continue pattern.

3. Yoshimi's husband is an interesting and kind fellow.

4. Hella's drummer was being fawned over for hours on end by a fan volunteer.

5. This guy Hisham aka Soft Circle (above photo) organized lots of the event and speaks legit Japanese with Eye.

6. The organizers tried to have everyone wear Nikes. That was weird.

7. Tar pits smell good... Like tool sheds.

8. Some of the drummers sucked more than others, and some were show offs. Like high school band show offs--playing all these licks without any taste or nuance. But for the most part, they were good.

That's about all... following are some photos of setup, the afternoon rehearsal, and the evening performance.
