Whew, busy weekend! Sold Out show at the bar Friday and hard cleanup the next morning. We're talking 11 hour door shift, 2.5 hours sleep and then 4+ hours. whew - somewhat relieved that our monthly Primordial Soup jam Sat at Noon was shelved, although concerned for the health of those who made the call. Bounced between the couch and bed all day yesterday and now today after this morning's scubbing and furniture placement. Highlight of yesterday was a fantastic burger at Monty's Blue Plate, enhanced by Swiss cheese and bacon. I know I shouldn't eat animals but I love animals. You always eat the one you love. sorry
Tending to eat a bit more meat in the winter months with this calorie-burning job. Glad to see it's gonna stop SNOWING for awhile. We might even get temps above 30 degrees this week.
Good news: upcoming 2008 Spark Festival in Minneapolis have given Gregory and I a slot, tentatively Sat March 1st likely at Nomad World Pub on Cedar Ave. We will be the final support act (2nd or 3rd on the bill) before headliner Richard Devine (!), lucky us. Bonus news from a few weeks ago-we will reunite our trio of Spark 2006 in the good company of visualist Mark Henrickson. Should be an exciting and fun event. Hoping to attend more (or at least *some*) of the festival next year. I had to miss Spark 2007 action cuz of the blizzard in late February that stranded many travelers. I was fortunate not to be one of them, although missing the festival was a major bummer. My usual obsessive gig prep involved assembling a more mobile version of my coffeehouse rig that can be quickly assembled. I am so old school there with all the laptops.
Pal John is off the road now for the holidays and paid a visit last Monday. Much fun cavorting and a return to Chataura on State St. I hadn't had the pleasure of dining there since our last trip there about 3 years ago. Nicely prepared Halibut fillet and greens, yum. Discussion of employment opportunities: maybe I too can be a Zappa plays Zappa crew boy? Hmmm. Prolly not a good idea given my love-hate relationship with the omnipresent electric guitar, set on STUN). Sorry guitarists. I love you all, really. Please stop drilling a hole in my eardrums tho.
