What a night last night... whew. Went to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday by going to a show, and I decided to take a hit of acid I had gotten in a trade. I got it from the same guy who had what turned out to be pretty weak MDMA, so I wasn't expecting much, especially since I usually have quite a tolerance to LSD for some reason. But I ended up having quite a beautiful little low-end trip, I felt just SO good and mentally lubricated. The band was going to have a sleepover so we could do recording all day today, but they were nowhere to be seen. Then we get a call from the guitar player, he's tripping and stranded at someone's house. So we go get him, and he's having an existential crisis... the same one he's been having but really put in the forefront. We had a nice long talk after everyone else went to bed (at like 7am) and without going into details I think I really helped him get some perspective. Then neither of us slept at all. And now I came home to feed my cats and I'm about to head back shortly to do this recording day. Tomorrow is probably going to be pretty brutal but right now I feel great, I'm actually glad I didn't sleep because I still feel the post-LSD energy and mindstate.
