Rainy/Sunny days in SF….

Tha title of this post is taken from a Wee the Band song – available soon on CD, and thru itunes! Woot! (even tho ah hate itunes).

Let’s see, what have ah been up ta….

Last Wednesday ah went to a bday party for the guitarist in the pop/rock band ahm playin in. We currently don’t have a name, so ah refer to us as tha Junk Bumpers. It’s a long story how my friend n ah came up w. that, n while ah think its actually a decent name, it doesn’t fit our musick. Anyway, tha bday party was at a Karaoke Bar in Fisherman’s Wharf. Fisherman’s Wharf is a touristy obnoxious part of tha city that you see if you visit (ah don’t really know why, except that tha cable car gaes thar), n then ignore completely when you move here cuz it’s fawkin lame. Generally, ah dont gae out like that (party started at 11) on weeknights, but when ah told Lavi that, he made such a sad face ah reconsidered. It was a pretty good time, ah sang a Pink song (ah let tha cat outta tha bag about my crush on her), n we took tha first pics of us togetha. Of kerse, ah ruined it by wearin my glasses, so it’s nawt very indicative of me. But check out my beard (n tha fact that ahm smilin! Ahm tryin ta git bettah at that in photos):

Howevah, this next picture is much more what yer used ta:

Saturday aftahnoon ah took a Bikram Yoga MASTER CLASS w. head Teacher Trainer Craig Villani and it kicked my ass. Ah balanced on my tip toes in awkward pose until ah fell outta it – twice. N awkwards my GOOD pose!

Then think13 played a set – what tha? Yes, thar was a VAGABOOM! fundraiser featurin us, a performance troupe, a contortionist, some dude on a guitar, a synthesizer jam-band, a dj, and BURLESQUE. And what burlesque – ah was swoonin durin thar brief set (which featured big band versions of “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Baby Got Back”). On a total whim (meanin, ah saw them n made sure our drummer shared) ah snagged a bit of some “truffles” in chocolate form. Ah sorta fergawt about them, n was startin ta git concerned w. how funny everythang was when ah was reminded what ahd ingested, n thangs gawt really nice n relaxin aftah that. Ah spent tha nite laughin w. friends, talkin shit, n bein loud. Finish it off w. a nice bike ride home – aww yeah.

Sunday ah wen ta see Anvil: The Story of Anvil and it was really awesome. Thars a reason this movie has been gittin rave reviews from everywhar – it’s fantastic. It’s one of those movies you certainly don’t need ta enjoy tha metal genre (er even be aware of) ta appreciate, n ta those of us in tha know, its amazin. It’s so good, ahma include tha trailer here:

Now, tha rest of my week hasn’t been THAT excitin, but yestahday ah bought some organic black beans n bulk n they are currently makin my kitchen smell really really good. Ta self-sufficiency!
