This wasn’t supposed to be that busy of a weekend, but a lot happened…
The pop/rock band I’ve been playing with had a gig in Fairfax, California. I got really excited when I saw a big theatre marquee w. “FAIRFAX” in large red letters (I’m from Fairfax, Virginia). The bar, Peri’s, was actually a pretty nice scene – it got a lot of foot traffic, drinks were on the house, and everyone was super friendly. Funny enough, we had been concerned about nawt havin enuff songs, so our singer did two on his own. Because of this, we had to skip one of them, hah!
Then Saturday my house tackled more of our backyard – and we even had one willing pair of hands stop by and dig some shit up, awesome! Here we are before:
And this is after:
If this doesn’t look like much, it’s because you can’t see the stretch behind the shed, which was completely overgrown with all sorts of stuff, adn has been laid mostly to waste by now. I was hoping that was pure dirt, but it’s concrete as well so the plans to put in a veggie garden there have to be modified. Likely I’ll still put some veggies and herbs there, but will have to put them in containers.
Finally, Willie T, singer of The Mysterious Odors was in town w. his friend’s Beatnik Jr (who actually feature Odors drummer Andrews) promoting their show next week. Willie and I had a lot of catching up to do – since the Odors broke up he has traveled the world as tech guy with bands like NIN, Alanis Morisette, Incubus, and more. Fuck that guy. Here we are in the SOMA:
The next item on my agenda for the day is one I’m not especially looking forward to, but it’s best to just get it ovah w. Catch ya latah interwebs!
