Misc. blah-blah-blahs

Danny sent me a note saying that motordbob.com was up and running. Yes!!! Go here if yer curious: www.motordbob.com . He did a great job. We just have to get some more content together for it, but at least it's a start. I also found out that we were picked for the Metro Times Blowout this year. That's cool! We are the first band on March 3, at 9pm, at Whiskey in the Jar on Yemens near Joseph Campeau in loverly Hamtramck. I'm excited to play at such an event(with over 200 bands). It's a new crowd, so we'll see how it goes.

Strange Days

What a strange weekend. I find out that two very close friends are having marital problems and are separated. I never would have thought it would happen to them. I hope that they can work it out. I also witness two other friends become engaged to each other. Jen and I were invited to a suprise anniversary party for Randi's parents(Randi and Ed are together, and I worked with her once a long time ago). To be honest, I didn't why we were invited seeing that I had only been around her parents a few times. I thought that maybe it was for 'authenticity' because her parents thought that the party was being thrown by Ed for her college graduation. But it turns out that we were there to see Ed propose! Danny was supposed to be there too, but couldn't be because he's in California. I guess 'bittersweet' would be a good description of my weekend. Anyhow, I hope my friends can work it out. It's hard to see someone(especially the someones you care for) in such pain, with not so much as a damn thing you can do to help but listen. As for Randi and Ed, well I wish them the best.

Ahh, books!

Sometimes I'm a reading fool! Jen just shakes her head when she asks if I've finished a particular book and I say yeah. It doesn't take long. I've devoured two in as many weeks: 'The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard' and 'Cash the Autobiography'. Good stuff! I just started 'Woody Guthrie: A Life'. I bought it for my dad some time ago. I'm not sure why, I just thought he'd like it. He said it was hard to read because of all the shit that happened to Woody, but it was still good. From what I've read, I agree, it IS hard to read. This one will take me awhile.

Happy New Year

Happy 2005! I'm ready for a great year...
