juldeaI had plans for a nice long journal entry to compensate from not posting for a few days (poor everyone without my wonderous writings), but work decided that it would be bitchy instead ;) So I'll just get what I can get done here, and deal with not writing the rest.
Most of you know about the Laundro-Spore show that happened on Saturday, so if you do, you can skip this whole rant about it (unless you really want to read it!) For those of you not graced to live in Norman, here you go - a very cool interesting Gaea Spore story :)
We had a gig at Norman High School at the debate tournament for Saturday from 5-6. Yeah, it's a weird gig, but the band did it last year, and our friend Lily who helps arrange things for the tournament was asked to invite us back. So we said sure, we'd entertain a bunch of high schoolers waiting for their results. On Saturday, the guys started packing up instruments and such at about noon, I dropped by at 2 for help (and brought donuts), and at about 3 we were all packed and ready to go. Then we got a phone call - we're cancelled. It turns out that somehow the main coordinator of the tournament forgot that she gave permission for a band to come, or something - Lily got kicked out because she said, "No, you gave us permission weeks ago to invite these people," etc etc. So here we are, 2 hours before our show, all packed up, ready, and WANTING to play, with no venue. Hmm.
So, of course, we make one! Chris suddenly burst out with, "Let's play at the Parkview laundromat!" For those of you who don't recognize it, that's the laudromat of my apartment complex. Why he had that as an idea I don't know, but it's a place with some open space and power outlets, so... hell... why not. We called everyone we could, even made some last-minute flyers, got my laundry, and set up at the laundromat. While my clothes were getting clean, the laundromat was stuffed with Gaea fans (and random people doing their laundry!), and we played a really great show. :) It was so cool...
So, yeah. I've done 2 shows now (although one was in the living room of the happiness hotel), and the new year's party. *flex*
Chase!!! How much can I pay you to get a video copy of the show? I know you taped it! I want to show some people :) (you know who you are...)
I find it amusing what my food budget is now. I spend $27.55/wk on thai food for weekdays, and then - 4 nights a week (and both weekend nights) I work at Papa John's and get free pizza, 2 other nights a week I go to Brendan's for band practice and usually snack on something there, or even get a meal... I really don't have to spend much money at all on food. :)
Ugh, speaking of food, I'm starving... I think it's time to eat some applesauce.
Oh, yeah - I put my alarm on radio this morning instead of "gradual buzz from loud to annoyingly loud" and woke up really well. Hmmm.
