The apres ski gig went pretty well. It’s not a deal where anyone dances because all the people in the club are in ski boots.
It was a 3-piece setup: Drums, bass, guitar. The female singer plays a pretty decent bass guitar.
I finally figured out who the lesbian singer looks like. Linda Hamilton. Remember Sarah Conner from the Terminator movies? That’s her.

Apparently it had been snowing outside during the whole show. When I got to my car it was covered. I don’t have snow tires and my tires are fairly bald. So I put it in 1st gear and inched down the canyon, managing not to slide off the windy road to my death. I didn’t want to be yet another dead rock & roll musician who died a tragic death….

Got a call last night from a band I sub with now and then. They need a drummer for an “apres ski” (after ski) gig at Snowbird today. Sounds like there’s already a drum kit there too. All play and no load makes guru a happy boy.
Should be a fun gig, playing for a bunch of tired and drunk ski tourists. I wonder if the gay female singer is going to bring her amazingly beautiful girlfriend again. What does it matter anyway?

I had a gig scheduled for tonight. It was to be the biggest paying gig of the year and perhaps even the biggest paying gig I’ve ever had. I got a phone call from some lady I don’t know who said she’d been “calling the band leader for a month straight” trying to confirm the gig. She said she was getting someone else if I didn’t call the band leader and get back to her in 1/2 an hour.
I didn’t hear back from the band leader in time and she booked someone else. When the band leader did call me back, he said “fuck ‘em. I don’t feel like playing for them anyway.” Hmmm… Fuck them? Fuck me too. How about considering that this gig was going to pay a shit load of my bills?

While writing a blog post for one of my new blogs at The Mac Space, I stumbled across the sex position of the week article in Cosmopolitan. It was an interesting read, almost as educational as renting a porno.
According to Cosmo, the best place to meet a man is at the Apple Store. I shop at the Apple Store. Been there dozens of times. Never once have I been picked up by a woman there, though that sounds nice. I guess I’ll keep shopping at the Apple store in hopes that I can find a woman to whom I can “straddle her grounded leg and enter her while she holds her other leg up or letting it rest against my shoulder for leverage.” Then with her free hand she can “reach up and run her fingers across my chest as she gazes longingly into my eyes. Then, slowly, carefully she can stroke my nipples which is a major turn-on for lots of guys.”
Damn, all I wanted to pick up at the Apple Store was the Adobe CS3 upgrade from Macromedia Studio MX…
