Like a doof I walked all the way to Olde Club this morning with my keyboard and stickbag, thinking that Jeff was twenty minutes late to pick me up. Of course, it was a Daylight Savings mistake, and I was back there again forty minutes later. We (TKM) played until two-thirty or so, making progress on all four of the tunes. Then I came home to read some of "Modern Love." Rebecca fed me tea and cookies, and we went downstairs to 2N for Rachel's surprise 20th. While waiting we
(Jessie, Elena, Rebecca, the residents, etc. – nb "Jessie" is in bold so that she can find the referenes to her more efficiently) discussed band names and airplane covers, after the guest of honor arrived we discussed Libertarianism. Inflight went to Olde Club for some last-minute rehearsing, during which Joel broke his second cello of the weekend, and Matt and I failed at harmonizing. From there to Genuardi's with Allen in tow and fifty dollars of SAC food funds, plus a shopping list of crushed tomatoes and dried yellow split peas (couldn't find them, sorry.) Most of the food ended up being eaten, except for an entire chocolate cheesecake which I ended up giving to Ranmal at the end of the night.
By this time it was after seven, so we made a brief barnstop grocerydrop costumeswap and got back to the venue in time to catch the Warriors' soundchecking "Teen Spirit." A few people showed up on time (8), but by the time David L. K. Murphy's extensive set of originals and Jeff Buckley covers was done, there was a sizable crowd, much of it probably drummed up by my various bandmates.
i can't do it all justice right now, i'm going to sleep. the right shift key on this board doesn't work.
what can i say? it was wrong that you disappeared
