friday random elevenish – “off my game” edition
Friday. About time.
I was kind of off my schedule this week, between weather, appointments, rehearsals, hauling ass out to Amherst, etc. As I type this, I’d only gotten out on the trail once, and that was just a brisk three mile hike. Oh well; there’s always Friday afternoon. We shall see.
I did have a pretty successful Castleburg Open Mic this week, with a ton of new faces, and some really talented folks, even if my set wasn’t the hottest I’ve ever played; whatever – I finished strong, and made money for myself and the brewery (and I got to play with my kid, which was cool), at least enough that I get to do it next month. There’s the possibility of doing another one on Friday evening if I feel up to it, and I’m playing two sets with the Humdingers (at 1:30pm and 6:30pm) at Bull City Ciderworks in Durham on Saturday. Two paying gigs in one week – I’ll take it.
That’s most of the weekend plans; depending on when I get back this weekend, we might do the RVA Taco Festival at Hardywood on Sunday. We’ll see. It all depends if I crash in NC or not Saturday night.
Otherwise, it’s been a week. Long and largely pointless, with occasional bouts of me having to get snippy with developers, but I wrote about that already, and I don’t want to think about it anymore.
