27 July - Odd

It is a strange feeling to not have any performances booked for the remainder of the year. I drove down to Southern Connecticut this past week to reunite (after a nearly three year gap) with my Prestons partner Bill. We had a blast, and made tentative plans to play out again next year sometime. But to not have anything definite scheduled for the next five months is just plain weird.

17 July - Gig Photo

Played a great show last night despite the heat and humidity, which was oppressive. Our friend Hannah was in the front row, and got this very nice photo of us. We really did have a pretty good crowd, but the audience planted themselves well back in the shade. Sensible.

13 July - New Bass

Trundled some neglected/superfluous gear down to a favorite shop this week to see what it'd be worth in store credit. But then I found myself suddenly dashing back to the house partway through the process to fetch my old bass to swap as well. You see, I took this one off the rack while I was there and it started purring. So, yeah. Got a new bass, and I can't begin to tell you how much fun this one is to play. And because I ended up going home with fewer items than I'd brought in, it still counts as downsizing.
