Runaway, runaround.



Okay, my favorite new band is the Mosquitoes. We played with them last night and they rocked us gingerly. I'm not even that tired today, just lazy.
Not feeling eager to get back to work. I've just been catching up on email and voicemail so far. In just a few minutes I'll be dialing people up for promos and artwork. I never said it was a fancy job.
Later.

Unreal



I went to the dentist this morning. Whenever I go to the dentist, for some reason I like to write about it. Today I had two cavities filled. Hopefully they're the last ones I'll ever have. The local anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so I keep touching my face. My lower lip feels like a huge frankfurter stuck to my face, and my chin feels so unreal. It's the weirdest sensation, I can't stop putting my fingers on my chin because I secretly like how it feels. It's like feeling my own face with someone else's hand. Leon, you lucky bastard. Your girlfriend has the softest face on the planet.
The dental assistant I had today was the same one that I had last time. Last time she went on and on about the doctor's ability to make the fillings look exactly like the natural tooth, how it was an art form and how she admired his skill. This morning she mentioned a fondness for Walmart during two different conversations. She's funny, but I don't think she means to be.
We have a show this Sunday at 8 is at Balazo Gallery on 24th and Mission, in case people care. We will have new badges!
Later.

Since Wednesday.



Since Wednesday, I've been in a state of utter content. With playing a show in front of people finally out of the way, I feel like the worst is over. The next shows, and maybe even the recordings will be fun and non-nerve wracking. People liked us, I'd like to think. even though most of them were our friends and we asked them to be there. They said they liked us anyway. And maybe they couldn't tell that we messed up a few times. Some other highlights:
We played the new song fairly well, despite only practicing it twice.
Someone yelled "Frenchmen fucking rule!" after we played.
Dancing music so nice that even Charles danced.
Free beers.
John's karaoke.
Ordering in spanish at the burrito place at 3 in the morning, because I get a kick out of that.
Falling asleep, crammed on the couch with Leon couldn't have been cozier.
The view from Fulton down accross the panhandle at 10 am and my new contacts for being able to see it.
Being in the bay area in the day time on a weekday made me feel naughty, like I was playing hooky.
Yum falafel lunch.
Sleepy afternoon drive back to Sacramento.
I think I like this band thing much better than having a radio show.
Later.

Coming soon. Like, on Wednesday.
