The computer arrived today on another flight from Chicago to Copenhagen. It is in working order and was not stolen! Joel and Janis are setting up the equipment and will begin the mixing process soon. It feels like things get done faster when Joel and Janis are 6 hours ahead, but I'm sure it's only our imaginations.
Here is an email from OVERHANG's very own world traveler Joel:
"I'm in de Denmark. This place flipped my mind over backwards. So different.
I was too excited to sleep on the plane and I still don't feel tired.
The computer and guitar have yet to be traced though. They think they are
still in Chicago. Pretty unbelievable. Maybe arriving 2.5 hours ahead of
time worked against me. I'm hoping they come on the flight tomorrow. Its
given me some time to explore and talk to Janis. As long as the stuff comes
tomorrow!
I'll keep you updated. Janis and I are having a shapenote singing party.

Joel is heading out to Denmark today to put an end to the recording process of "Another Hole for You to Crawl Into". Janis is working in a studio there and he needed a faster computer to finish the album. It will cost less money for Joel to fly there than to send it through the mail. So it will work out well for Joel to be with Janis in the flesh and hopefully he'll come back with a finished album.
Joel's leaving prompted the band to do a quick photo shoot and to videotape rehearsals for our myspace account--we are youtubers now. Overhang chose one of the coldest days of the year to go out by Lake Michigan to take the photos. While walking along the icy shore, Nate stepped through the ice and dipped his foot in the water. It was cold at first, but then he couldn't feel anything, except a sharp burning on the flesh. We asked if Nate could stick it out for the rest of the frigid shoot and he gladly put his left foot on the line for OVERHANG.
