Bob Chance Band May 2010

Monday, May. 24, 2010 - 12:58 a.m.

Friday night, May 21, the Bob Chance Band gave their last scheduled performance at the place formerly known as Cero's.

There was an enthusiastic and well-oiled crowd, and here's Nancy the waitress, doing what she does best during a shift when the band members need a refill:

Apologies for the grainy quality; it was my lame attempt at being stealthy.

The people that own the building now did a really great job with the stage and the decor, and it's a real shame the band won't be engaged there on a regular basis.

Recently, my bandmate and dear friend Alan Brownlee sent me a stream of abusive text messages, one of which included the phrase "stabbing me in the back" because I dared to use my Diary to commit the utterly black and sticky sin of expressing my displeasure about his behavior from a few weeks back when he went out and gave himself a vacation from his vows.

Well, Alan -- here's how this works. If you are upset at what you read here, go away. Nobody forces you to come here and read.

If you want something in here removed, go get a court order. And be sure to file it in Canada, because that's where Diaryland's business license is located.

And yes, there would be grounds for concern if I'd written something over on Craigslist or some similarly extremely public place and went to town with all of the extra details that I've always been careful and thoughtful enough to never mention anywhere.

But here? This is my diary.

When my feelings are hurt, I come here and pour my heart out.

I write what I want to write, as long as it is factual, and not a secret that would cause harm if revealed.

I can't keep anybody from reading it, so if you come here and read something you don't like? I can't keep you from doing that.

In fact, just for grins, here's my fine print, all blowed up where it can be easily seen:

Can't help you there. Sorry about that.

All right, folks, that's it. Have a good Monday.
