The end of the 2009 summer draws near, but with very nice weather to enjoy. Along with the weather, I've been enjoying spending time with my dear friend Hannah. She seems to like me, despite my quirks and such. Finding myself in good humor much more, when loneliness stops all kinds of doors swing open. HcT is a great woman, and we are enjoying each other's company with movies, dining options (the near east side is rife) and an actual date last Friday. Houses in Motion played & we sat up in the balcony an bobbed heads, both prolly too tired to shake booty with the youngsters.
Replaced my rear bicycle tire in Aug, which was in a bald way. In other DIY mechanical activities, also put brake shoes on the rear - some cretin actually stole them from where I was parked at work. Bike thieves carry metric allen wrenches!
Worth blathering about was the Zappa plays Zappa set in Milwaukee attended 3 weeks ago. It was mind-bending. That Dweezil spawn o' Frank sho can play that geetar. The whole band was fantastic. Inca Roads! Black Page! and many other favorites. A pal is the guitar/sax tech and enabled Joe A. and I to bear witness to this event of true musical greatness. Dined on some Mexican entrees enroute. They were very reasonably priced too, much like the concert - I had a PBR tall boy and a couple soda-corn-syrupy-treats, just to attempt tp pump a lil' survival juice into the wallets of Milwaukee service industry brothers and sisters you understand.
The trio of dilettantery is gearing up for our 1st performing in front of people. In about 3 weeks we'll be proving we can play a reasonably tight and entertaining set. It's thankfully a party environment, no pressure really.
