Last month Bricklayers Foundation played our first gig with our new singer Keila, and it was awesome. We didn't have much time to rehearse but we played our hearts out at a cool little bar/venue near my house called Pancho's. In fact, we're playing there again in a couple weeks, we're all pumped. Now all we need is a photo-shoot.
Since I spent Thanksgiving in Chicago I decided to head home for Christmas, and I was not disappointed. It was great getting to spend time with family and friends and just hanging out. And the food! Scrumptious!! I bought a CD of Guns N' Roses songs turned into lullabies, because it's never too early for Addie to rock. This company makes lullabies out of everything, it basically blew my mind when I found their CD, I want to do their job. I listened to a lot of their stuff through Spotify, and came to the conclusion that GNR is and will always be the best.
For New Years I was hanging with Anna, Will and Carrie and her friends from out of town, eating sushi, drinking champagne, and chilling at our bassist Arjun's place.
And now for the obligatory food shot: Hot Doug's! Yum!
Those would be duck-fat french fries, tater tots, mini bagel dogs, and a "Brown Ale and Chipotle Buffalo Sausage with Bacon-Garlic Mayonnaise and Sage Derby Cheese." Beat that.
Also our keyboardist Charlie and I are accompanying a one-man show called "Don't Act Like A Girl," and wouldn't you know it our preview performance was tonight! It went well, we're going to fix a few things up a bit and have our big premiere/dance party next Sunday.
Oh yeah, and I gave blood last month! That was pretty cool.
I recently read "The Razor's Edge," which was a great book. It's about a man who comes back from World War I not wanting to settle down, instead traveling the world and basically just wandering in search of some sort of meaning to life. It's not preachy, it just explains one guy's unique point of view and everyone around him who basically think he's crazy. I just love the author's style, and hearing about regular life back then, going to restaurants, having parties, etc.
Other than that, we've been having some AMAZING weather here so I'm just thrilled, and the Patriots take on the Broncos Saturday! That should be exciting, I'll be pet-sitting some puppies next weekend but their owner has a huge TV! Jackpot!
