01/01/24 - Now entering our 25th year of operation.
01/31/24 - First session in nearly a year. Got everything set back up and ready to grind out sticky jams next week.
02/28/24 - Talked and recorded noises as we have done throughout history.
03/07/24 - Discussed putting out an EP and then recorded "jamming".
03/13/24 - Spent the session swapping compressors for the bass and being thwarted by the lack of a 9 volt battery for the Countryman DI box. I took the infamous Roalnd GP100 home.
03/20/24 - Patrick sent me remixes of 12 and sleepnovox for digital distribution. They are currently only available on BandCamp.

03/31/24 - Remixes of 12 and sleepnovox available everywhere tomorrrow.
05/22/24 - Still culling "jams" but over the past few weeks we have started using more non-traditional effects like synth and glitch pedals.
06/07/24 First Real Flower Pots single "God's Horn" available today on BandCamp.
06/26/24 Decided to ease into the 1990s and practice in stereo. Aborted when the cables I brought were discovered to be too short and a playback driver went foul and had to be re-installed. We scurried back to the safety of the 1980s.
07/02/24 Real Flower Pots' Saturnine is available on BandCamp.
07/03/24 Decided that next week we would start pawing through years worth of jams to find the nuggets. I hope there are nuggets.
07/10/24 Started actually turning a recent "jam" into a song. I tapped out some beat options. Patrick sang some ideas while playing an acoustic guitar.
07/17/24 Added scratch vocals and acoustic guitar parts to the new song. We turned the acoustic to the song - just finding a note on each string that worked. Ended up with D - A - D - E - A - E.
New Real Flower Pots music - Holiday out now exclusively on Bandcamp.
07/24/24 Started work on turning another jam into a song while I work on the 1st one at home.
07/31/24 Spent the session talking.
08/05/24 I spent the weekend hammering the first 20 minute jam into a 7 minute song. Sent the session to Patrick.
08/07/24 Patrick brought what he had done to Get Off That Stake so far. Steven added a bass part to the first half and I added some little percussive bass bits.
08/22/24 Patrick split up Get Off That Stake into 2 songs and asked me to write more words and sing the new parts. Tonight we celebrate our new schedule.
09/04/24 Patrick sent out a mix of One Pass - which was the first half of Get Off That Stake.
