friday random elevenish – “memories and equity” edition
Spent most of the week waiting for people to wrap stuff up at the very last minute, which is how my organization rolls. It’s kinda frustrating.
This contributed to a mostly consistent week-long funk, though a little self-medication helped a bit, at least on my regular Thursday night at the grocery store bar with my fellow barflies. I also speed-walked a couple of 5ks, which mostly corrected for the beer.
Gotta have a system.
The weekend looks pretty busy; out to SBC Friday to catch my kid playing Queen of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, then spending the rest of the weekend (or a good bit of it, anyway) with friends and such at the Virginia Celtic Festival and Highland Games, where everybody’ll be dancin’, and folks are coming into town to check it out.
I should also have my test CD in hand at some point this weekend, which I already know will have to be tweaked before the official production run, as I think the vocals on a couple of tracks are a little peaky, and besides, there were a couple of typos on the back cover anyway. Still, I should have my stock in hand by November’s Open Mic before the shows down in Charleston.
Oh, all my friends (including the rest of the Blibbering Humdingers) who are at Ohio Valley Filk Fest this weekend, have a great time! Y’know, The Humdingers are up for a Pegasus Award this year for “Best Performer”; not like we’re gonna win or anything, but it is, as they say, an honor to be nominated.
But yeah, that’s that. I’ll get on my parts of Jonah’s new record next week; I’ve got some nice bass lines worked out, and the script is basically locked down, so my spoken word parts are pretty much set. I’ll probably throw him a couple of solo guitar bits to use or not as well. It’s a really cool project.
Anyway, tunes. Some friends, some classic rock, and a few pieces of childhood in there as well. Not terrible.
