Yesterday was a long day. I got home really late Tuesday night because rehearsal went so long, then I sat reading and unwinding for a bit before going to bed. I didn’t get enough sleep that night. Yesterday I worked until five, met Bread at the bar and had dinner with him at Torino’s, then […]
In which I go to Ottumwa. Oh, and talk about the NYE gig. Yesterday Tahmi called to invite me to join her for lunch and a movie in Ottumwa. Her mister was cuddled in with his new Xbox 360 and wanted to be alone with his new mistress, so she needed to get out of […]
In which I did two gigs this weekend. Friday and Saturday nights I played (er, sang backup) in J’s 13th annual holiday benefit concert at Morningstar Studio. Proceeds this year are being split betwen the Jefferson County Womens’ Crisis Center, the Childrens’ Center, and the International charity Airline Ambassadors. The target was $16,000; I don’t […]
I’ve been offline because I can only connect over my home dial-up in fifteen-second intervals, which makes me insane. You’re gettin’ a five-day update here. Yes, I blog from work all the time. Friday, Bread came home from work at 12:30, sick, and slept for nineteen consecutive hours. Saturday I had an afternoon rehearsal at […]
Damian Kulash of the band OK Go rants about DRM: I certainly don’t want to encourage people to go pirating our music. I have poured my life into this band, and after two major label records, we’re barely scraping by financially. Believe me, I’m all for racking up real sales, but before a million people […]
In which I have a suspicion. Rehearsal last night rocked. I love this band. We ate an entire box of chocolates during the dinner break. (“We” being everyone but the bass player who didn’t have any chocolate at all.) Please note we’ll be playing the ballroom at the Best Western with Bambu on NYE and […]
In which I do almost nothing at all. Long weekend, y’all. I didn’t do much, though – I had a rousing several days worth of Cramps From Hell™ followed by a head cold. Friday we didn’t go to Misty’s b-day gathering at the bar, damn it, and Saturday night I stayed home while B. went […]
In which I liked the band. Thursday after work I met Mr. Brett at the Dead Cock for drinks. He went home eventually and I finished my cocktail and went out to find dinner. I ran into Hattie on her way in to work and said I’d be back to see her later. I walked […]
Wallflower no more, y’all. Tonight I’m going to rehearse with a band that’s thinkin’ about hiring me. Monday night I’m going to sit in with another band that’s thinkin’ about hiring me. It’s damned exciting to realize that within weeks of announcing my intention to start singing again (if you can call telling my friends […]
