Haven't slept, save for a moderately restful snooze after the gym this morning. I plan to catch up tonight.

Tyler suggested yesterday that I record a solo album at his house concurrently with the James Rabbit sessions. He offered his and Conner's services as producer and engineer respectively. I recorded from the ages of thirteen to fifteen or so under the moniker Fortitude Man about... twelve albums, maybe? It's scintillating stuff. So this project is Fortitude Man revived, but we've got to change the name, obviously. Tyler and I started writing songs for this endeavor today.

After I stopped recording, I stopped writing regularly. The albums were never meant to be listened to. I gave copies to Tyler, because he seemed genuinely interested, and I felt he had helpful input to offer. I didn't even write songs that I could play for people in public. So anyway, it should be major. Fortitude Man was an awesome puppet I made for a skit in middle school. It stuck, it seems.

Sideshow rehearsals are going pretty swimmingly. The ensemble keeps sounding better, and I'm not worried about most of the leads.

How's the Future of Style for a band name?
