BAND MEETING NOTES – JULY 1995
LAWSUIT’S COMPUTER: Lawsuit needs a computer. Everything is done on the computer. Lawsuit needs a fax machine. Every business needs a fax machine. How much are we willing to spend (band money) on this?
Paul thinks it’s weird to buy a computer for a band. Everyone tries to convince him that a business like ours needs equipment. Paul thinks it’s weird to buy a computer for a band. It’s a lot of money, but it’s an investment in our future. Paul thinks it’s weird to buy a computer for a band. It will take Anthony five times as long to accomplish what he needs to accomplish without a computer, thus cutting down on the time he can really spend moving Lawsuit forward. Paul thinks it’s weird to buy a computer for a band. Anthony has to accept that Paul thinks it’s weird to buy a computer for a band and move on.
People are worried about the expense being a danger to the recording project. We go over some numbers and things don’t look as bad as feared. Also, the project will not cost as much as our last effort. However, it will probably cost more than we think.
Band agrees on $2,000 for office equipment. If Anthony wants nicer stuff, he will have to kick in the difference. We decide to pay up front to avoid interest charges, and borrow money when we run out.
RECORDING: This project will be less intense, time-wise, than past ones. We have to stay focused in order to meet our recording goals. Marta – “We want to make a recording that’s marketable and cohesive, yet Lawsuit.” Dan feels weird about the band recording – it’s a danger to the office equipment budget.
GIGGING: We won’t play Brave New World, Tuscapoopoo anymore, but we are going to play Brave New World, Seattle and Los Angeles. That way, Bruce Willis will come see us. Dan used to beg Berkeley Square for a show. Now they’re begging us and Anthony tells them to fuck off.
Why is Anthony drinking milk?
In three months we want to start playing out-of-town gigs. Dan would like to play San Diego. Anthony – “You’ll play wherever the fuck I send you. Even Tuscapoopoo Brave New World.”
Everyone dogpiles on Anthony.
