yeah, i'm really excited... i went on a pretty thorough tour and met with a couple profs yesterday and it felt like putting on a old pair of kicks.  the program is really strong, too, so that's obviously a huge plus.  we'll see what i can do, but if i'm able to get in, both my brother and i will be working towards pretty much the same degree... combine our musical tastes in a studio and we'd have some fuckin FUN.
in MORE muzak news, i'm stoked as hell to read that Nine Inch Nails will be touring FOR SURE with Jane's Addiction and Street Sweeper- Tom Morello's new project.   nin.com for detailz.
furthermore, Billboard is announcing Jane's Addiction will be headlining Lollapalooza this year along with the Beastie Boys.  Les, you'll be happy to know Kings of Leon are the third headliner... wanna come to the Chi with me, Lena, Drew (you better make it), Wilfro (you better make it), my brother, and a couple of his friends this August?
for anyone else interested, it's looking like me and a handful of people are likely going to get a hotel room downtown to do the Chicago/Lolla experience the right way... you're all invited, just get yourself there, grab a ticket, throw down on the room, and bring money for weed and wine.
