Instead of my usual day of rest and hunkering down after the Fri-Tue 'work week', braved the blustery evening to hang out at the bar tonight, in the fine company of Gregory and Al Ritchie. *Tried* to get there late and miss the opener, but they started at 9:45ish. The poster said 9PM. The opener were a prog trio from Chicago featuring a swell Chapman stick player. The IDM solo performer (headliner) was a 'button pusher', in addition to wielding a couple guitars and dancing with abandon to his programmed beats and keeping the beer bottle in reach. The music was somewhat unremarkable, but what I found interesting was the performer's physical presence. It was most entertaining! Being entertaining, that's something I admire. Takes absolute belief in yourself.
Erik stopped his 1-day-a-week cleaning shift cuz it conflicts with his day job. Kelly offered me that shift, and I said yes. I will regret it, but work is work. Door shifts are kinda slim pickings this time of year, and since I'm only working 3 nights, I can handle 4 mornings, maybe, we'll see.
Many music making and drumming projects on tap. Hope they lead to something that won't just fizzle out. A generously donated floor tom, that in it's former life was a parade drum, needs heads and the right size legs. The ones from my old floor tom tom (currently the kick) are too large.
Tonight Deadwood season 3 - 2nd rental this week - awaits my pleasure to view and kettle corn will soon be popping. *** ** ***
