October 30th, 2005.
I’m full. I’m tired. I might die. The last couple of days have been Lovely, but very full. I’ve been falling asleep at around 7am this past week, and then Saturday morning I had to wake up at 7.45am to go to a meeting for the Emergenza festivals. Saturday was also PLOJ so I knew…

Band practice went smoothly. We had to brush up on a couple of tunes that seemed a little rusty on our last couple of gigs. Afterwards I find myself slightly depressed, a little tired. I came to College Perk to maybe get some work done and hang out with a couple of friends. I knew…

Heather and I hit up Dave Morreale’s open mic at Ryan’s Daughter in Baltimore, MD. This is Heather and Dave singing George Michael’s “Father Figure”. Small crowd, but a beautiful bar. We had a good night and Dave invited me to come open for him at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt, MD, which was…

It doesn’t sound like a big deal when I tell people that I was woken at 8am by a nightmare, but consider that I tend to sleep from 4am to noon and maybe you’ll get the idea. That’s sort of like normal sleeping creatures waking up at 3am and not being able to fall asleep.…

So, after finally getting home Sunday morning, Heather and I got up and got to our gig in Canton – SNAFU hosted by our friend Dave Morreale at Mike McGovern’s. Something that I find pretty native to Baltimore and rarely, if ever see anywhere else, is the profusion of home-made decks. These aren’t the best…

The drunken wanderers of Wilmington, and the communication mishaps of Friday night were precursors to the horror of Saturday. Saturday night, Heather made up the term “Band Unity Gig”. BUG. Saturday night was a BUG. I appreciate getting the gig – it definately came to us through a friend who was eager to help us,…

October 16th, 2005 – an aside.
The visit to Deanne and Wilmington this time around was dampened by the departure of Jessie. About a week before we got into town, Deanne’s much-Loved beagle died of a heart attack at the vet. Deanne has been back and forth between being a wreck and showering the rest of her pets with just about…

Wilmington is always just such a pleasure for us. We get to walk around and admire thehumans walking the streets, we’re close to the water (but not SO close that a giant squid could grab us up and thrust us struggling into its beak-like maw) and through some fluke of fate, in the 5 or…

Happy Lizard Day, ladies and gentlemen. I woke up feeling slightly blue and stepped out on the porch and sat on the chair to watch the shrubbery come alive with little green heads and secret movement. Sunshine and warm decking and warped smooth wood… I saw a head poke up by a stump down by…

So pretty. So drunk. Sigh – We played the open mic at the Front Street Brewery and got a pretty massive response. I Love having people make such a big deal out of us, but the most vocal was a very wiggly, very intoxicated blonde who may or may not have been hitting on Heather.…
