She said yes.

Whether you like it or not…

So… I'm playing guitar in Actors Theatre's production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch… and, while we open tomorrow, our first paying audience sees the show in an hour and a half. Rehearsals have been a joy. Every member in the cast/band is a terribly talented individual (My official post is lead guitar, which is funny, because I'm probably the fourth-best guitar player in the band. I rock the shit out of it regardless.) and they are all wonderfully laid back (The extracurricular activities have been many and, um, spirited.).

The show seems to have hit its stride at just the right moment and we are all itching to get 159 people in the seats (if just to warm up the theatre). Fingers crossed. Into the fray.

36...

and counting.

So, I get home from my gig last night and make myself a salad. As a eat the last bite, I click on CNN.com and find out that spinach from the company which made the bagged mix of leaves I ate is being recalled because of its link to the big e. coli scare. Go to the refrigerator and check the contents of the mix and find baby spinach.

No cramping yet.

Fingers crossed.

when there's no more room in hell...

KIck aSS!!

So, about two weeks ago, this young lady I've fallen head over heels for puts on this benefit show to help a friend of hers with some medical expenses. Wanting to help out (and, ok, maybe score some brownie points), I attend. There's a table full of raffle items and I buy a ticket for each one because that's the right thing to do, then a few extra tickets for certain specific items because I really want to win them. I believe the raffle gods looked down on me and took pity on my unenviable lot that night (less said the better... at least at this juncture.), as I ended up winning four of the raffle items, two I hadn't much coveted (a band t-shirt and a small painting) and two that I desired greatly... a $50 Cherry Bomb gift certificate and an old B.C. Rich Warlock bass.



Which brings me to the whole reason for this post. Today, I received shipment of the final necessary elements in making the bass an invincible 80s metal machine! "Antique" chrome skull volume knobs!



Now nonstop rocking is possible!!!
