Or did it?
My brother has recently purchased a new Nintendo Wii and so has the singer of my band. And incidentally, they both have the most recent strain of the stomach flu. I have been spending time out of the house so that I, myself, don’t get sick because I just got over my own flu. Maybe I should just not touch the Wii?
I did spit up something green this morning (too much information? too bad). Green mucous means infected, right? I hope that’s just because I’m a smoker and not because I actually have come down with something.

Moving on, the artists from last night at the bar were particularly nice, being all either acoustic, folk, or blues. I don’t think I’m going to go over every single band that plays there, but I do want to make it a point to mention them as I’ve pretty much given up my social life to be able to give these artists shows. And it’s worth it; Inazuma, though the one punk band in a night of acoustic acts, still fared as well as they usually do–and their new bassist is really working out for them. Darryl Blood crafts some unbelievably memorable melodies, Just Like That Bird is definitely some good intra-city driving music, the Charles Shaw Project is the second band that has brought in a double bass to our venue (and incidentally, made it really work with the music), and Darin Bennett, the closer, makes music like they just don’t do anymore and is always nice to hear.
It seems our venue is actually taken seriously since we are really into treating musicians with respect. Because we treat them right, they… well, rehearse. A lot. And it’s nice, we haven’t had any crappy bands in a while.
And speaking of music, I’ve been saving for a Mac for a while now and I’m about ready to get one to be able to work on my own music. The thing is, the last time I used a Mac was before OSX and only know how it moves thanks to learning a bit of Unix/Linux. As scared as I am to have to get used to a new GUI, I’m excited to be able to use Ableton Live on a Mac. I’m also excited to just… have an Apple. Should be fun.
