Today is a frustrating day. The last week has been fantastic. We have played many a gig – we played outdoors in Frederick, indoors in Frederick – now we’ll go BACK to Frederick THIS week… but today has been frustrating.
I finally have my fancy computer back from Alienware – and that’s awesome, but they also sent it back with a huge bill, and as of yet STILL haven’t explained what work was done. My brain is reeling from that – my internet connexion keeps crapping out – my head isn’t currently able to wrap around the fourteen billion things I’m trying to accomplish all at the same time…. it’s like – every time I think I’m just about to get a handle on things, something else crops up. Either Heather asks me if something’s done, or I run across the damned brown envelope, reminding me that I need to get my Saturn inspected to make sure that it’s at least as environmentally friendly as the SUVs everyone’s got.

Sigh, it’s a grumpy day. On the other hand – I like reading our new forums, and we just landed a gig at a Nudist Colony. Life is just weird. Sorry – Clothing Optional Resort.
A frustrating world we Live in. I just don’t own that much… a car and a computer and a couple of guitars… which I guess, when I think about it, IS an awful lot – but it seems unfair that I can get hit with repairs for one and upkeep on another. I don’t know how people survive.
Or perhaps a shig.
Now that I no longer have a day job, I feel like I can legitimately keep up – I mean, there are certainly days, like today, when I feel overwhelmed – but when I still had a day job eating up x hours a week, I really felt like I couldn’t keep up. How does someone deal with the MVA if they can’t take a whole day to do it? How do you get your car repaired? How do you meet other people?
What happened to all that leisure time we gained when our ancestors started clubbing buffalo and we no longer had to spend all of our waking hours grubbing for berries and bird eggs? Sigh – I guess what I’m saying, is I just don’t have enough time to procrastinate like I’d like to.
So, I’m thinking about this Clothing Optional gig now – and I’m reading what Christine Lavin had to say about playing there (they didn’t buy many CDs, since they had no money with them, since they had no pockets)… and I’m reading about the fact that they have a folk festival (which We’re About 9 is playing) and a regular coffeehouse music series (which the Dreamscapes Project is playing)… and … well… everyone’s played to naked people but us. Time to get on the ole naked bus…. I guess. Hrm.
