To Seattle

Yay! I just got my holidays confirmed and I have a plane ticket to Vancouver for the evening of June 30th. My return is for July 6th. Jenn will pick me up in Vancouver. In total I save nearly 300 bucks by doing it this way. Oh, and Jonathan Richman is playing in Seattle on July 2nd. Yay!

Jenn left this morning as I went to work. It was a relaxing and romantic four days. I just bought a plane ticket to Vancouver for June 30th returning July 6th. I hope that I can get these days off. I'm going to fly to Vancouver because it is much cheaper than going directly to Seattle and the flight times are more flexible and much shorter. I really hope that works out and it's great that the plan is alraedy in progress. Jenn is going to be so pleased. I hope she phones from the road tnight so I can tell her.

Today

Yesterday I had an optometrist appointment at 5:00 and I completly forgot about it. I phoned at 7:30 to apologize and reschedule. I feel pretty dumb about it.

Now that that mundane news is out of the way I'm very excited that my girlfriend, Jenn, is driving all the way here from Seattle to visit me today. I went to work half an hour early so I could be out sooner. There was no one here when I got to work so I had to wait around for the door to be unlocked. I have no idea what time Jenn is gonna be here anyway. An unfortunate thing is that the band does have to practice this weekend. I wasn't sure when to schedule it best so right now it's 6:30 today. I hope that works out good for when Jenn gets here somehow.

I have no idea what me and Jenn will do. It's pretty wet and gray and cold out. But we're gonna drink martinis and watch movies. We kept the weekend pretty much open.

Okay I'm sick of writing. Later.

Upcoming Shews

June 3 - Sparta - Louis - Should be worth going to. I was too exhausted to watch them at Coachella

June 26 - DOS - Amigos - It will be amazing to see Mike Watt, even if it is as DOS.

Update

Hi there!

I haevn't updated this in so long. It's ironic (perhaps?) that I only update this when life is uneventful. I have so much to tell you about. My trip to Coachella and Seattle, my wonderful girlfriend Jenn, the band I'm playing bass in (Asterid), my new nickname ("The Dutch"), and a wack of other junk.

Also, I'm in love with The Moldy Peaches right now. Listen to them.

I'll give details soon.

Live Show

Okay, my band Asterid will be performing at Lydia's open stage night on Tuesday June 1st. Be there or be there.
