fun with impulse buying
Mike, Tammer and I went to Bill's Music yesterday to get supplies for the upcoming show. Mike bought an LP Salsa Chacha Cowbell, a Zildjian K series 8" splash cymbal, Pro-Mark drumsticks, earplugs, cymbal cleaner and the necessary hardware attachments. In other words, more things to hit. It's always an adventure walking into a music store. There's always that one guy on an amplified guitar playing the latest song that he learned, occasionally peering around to see who's impressed. Of course, no trip to Catonsville is complete without a stop to the Double T Diner, where you can (and do) play Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush" on the jukebox.
Russ is coming over tomorrow morning for our first full practice, which is good because I had a dream/nightmare about the show last night. My microphone broke, we didn't sell enough tickets, I broke a guitar string, and my distortion pedal was permanently stuck into overdrive. We seemed to be playing inside a candy store; the manager was leaning on the counter, yawning and constantly checking his watch. I remember trying to save the show with Pour Some Sugar On Me, but even that didn't do the trick. Scary, I know. Hopefully tomorrow's practice will quiet these subconscious fears and get me back to my usual dreams about dinosaurs. Now check these out:
[Emotion Eric] People send in various emotions, and this regular guy named Eric takes a photo of himself expressing that emotion (everything from "complacent" to "magic trick gone horribly wrong").
[Penny Arcade] Updated M-W-F. This video game-related comic is funny even if you don't like video games. It's really the only comic that I read anymore.
[MC Hawking] Andrew told me about this a while back; it's Stephen Hawking doing gangsta rap. Listen to All My Shootings Be Drivebys.
