End Of May 2009

Holy Moses.

I've seen 'beatnik' spelled as 'bitnick' on a poetry site.

Ugh. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

As a general rule, you'll be able to find some pretty entertaining shit-piles if you Google the word 'poerty' instead of 'poetry'

Yesterday was quiet here. John went to a framing store to see about re-securing some original artwork back into the frame.

It was so busy in there, he decided to go back on Monday.

Bass practice went just fine.

I have pretty much allocated weekends to just practicing songs, versus also practicing scales.

Sometimes I can even remember which scales make which note patterns for which song. Neener.

Like I've said before, I own a bass guitar and I *play* a bass guitar, but despite assurances, I still think it will be quite a while before I'm actually a bassist.

But it's sure a nice journey.

This instrument is awesome, and for some reason I feel like I'm getting acquainted with a long lost friend whenever I pick it up to play.

Speaking of playing, I will be going to Vacaville by way of the SF / Vallejo Ferry for the first time since May 3rd.

I haven't seen Alan or the rest of the band members since May 3rd, so I'm looking foward to this practice a whole bunch.

Alan wants to change the name fro The Burning Sensationz to something else.

I mentioned this in chat to Omaha Dave, who came up with High Risk Factor.

The band members are also kind of getting a little long in the tooth, so I think a good name would be Defibrillator.

I suppose we'll see.

That's it. Have a good Sunday, and happy last day of May.

And congratulations to The Bob Chance Band, who went back to work at The Place Formerly Known As Cero's.

As they say in The Commitments, "We have to be 'The Something.' All the greatest bands are 'The Something.'"
