I’ve got a sub gig in Park City Friday night with sort of a new band. The guitar player is a guy I’ve played with before, but the (lesbian) female singer I haven’t gigged with as of yet. Should be interesting or at least I hope it will be.
Then I have a gig with my regular band Saturday at a bar I like to call “Tattoos-R-Us”… There’s more paint on the patrons flesh than on the walls of the club.
A club here called DV8 burned to the ground last night. I played a bunch of shows there over the years and even saw some cool bands like “X” play there.
The club was sort of going downhill, which was evident when the converted it to a strip club it its last year or two of operation. The club hadn’t been open for a while and last night on the news it burned to the ground with a 4 alarm fire.
I always “wonder” about the timing of fires like this… The club hasn’t been open for a while, the property isn’t generating any revenue, and suddenly it burns to the ground? I’m sure their fire insurance was current if you know what I mean.
Wow I guess the millions of hits on my kit take their toll. I was setting up for a gig a couple of nights ago and my ride cymbal was a little off alignment. I grabbed it to adjust the boom arm and the boom arm snapped in two! This is a piece of steel which is 1/2″ thick! I barely grabbed it too. I suppose a couple of decades of pounding on the thing weakened the steel or something. Maybe it was frozen but still that’s wild.
Apple just announced the latest rendition of the Mac Pro. For fun, I build the most bad-ass, expanded, upgraded version I could on the Apple web site.
Total Cost: $27,340.90
