cheating on your band

Hey I'm going to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tonight and then Tricky Woo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I'm going to try out for a band this Wednesday. They are very indie influenced and have a keyboard. I'm excited and nervous. I haven't told Jeff that I'm doing this. I feel bad about betraying him since what we are doing is sounding so great but until we have a drummer it's just going nowhere. I'm not saying that I'm quiting the Bob/Jeff band. I still will put just as much time into that. In fact, this will be good, I will be dedicating all my free time to music instead of just wasting it.

I can't wait until Thursday. Jenn's coming.

Weekend Update

On Friday night me and Curtis decided to go see Blue Rodeo at The Briar Patch. This is where all the people from the big curling event go to get tanked up. I phone ticketmaster at about 6 o'clock and they said that there was still tickets and it was cabaret style and that it was too late for phone orders but tickets would be available at the door.

We get there and the place was huge, like an airplane hangar, and it's completely sold out! So we're standing around the entrance like idiots looking for scalpers. It would have been a lot easier if we had a sign that said "Need Tickets" since neither of us are the type to ask everyone if they had extras as they entered.

how did I get in? stay tuned...

Sunday - BSS

Bowling



I don't know if 150 is a good score or not but I won the first frame Friday night. I took tons of pictures and videos.
