Met muirtach last night to hear the Mathematicians play up in Truckee. They are a mathematically themed alternative/punk/hip-hop/electronica rock band. Sort of. They are quite chaotic, in any case, so I wholeheartedly approve of and recommend them. 
A good show, but the club was a little too crowded.

Ah well I'd prefer to get a job somewhere closer to home but thank you very much! I'm hoping that maybe I can get a job at ShopKo. I'm also holding out for Blockbuster once my birthday comes around. We should hang out sometime since I've still got nothing much to do. LOVE
The day before yesterday (i.e. Tuesday), we in Slow Djinn Fez played a gig at the Liquid Lounge here in Reno. I'll tell ya again: it's a hard job playing while a belly-dancer shimmies her belly right in front of you, but somebody's gotta do it (and it might as well be me)!

As ana aside I must slap your hand upon our next encounter. If you care to know why just take a moment to reread the testemonial you left me once upon a time. GuiNess? My dear, dear, dear sir. I am almost ashamed to know you.

Our gig at Napper Tandy's went pretty well. A number of friends were there, including muirtach and Tonya, but not including nvgoddess, 
who probably has some silly excuse like still being in Jacksonville and not in Reno. Well, Jeez! As if having to fly across country were a legitimate reason for not coming to a pub night!

Tuesday before last (3/15), played a gig at the Eldorado. It was a fund-raiser for the American Lung association, combined with an 85th-birthday party for one of our local bigwigs.

Peculiar, I thought I was just hoarse from the concert but last night Tonya mentioned that she was feeling a bit scratchy too.
I like the new name. It took a second as I was thinking,"that's not when the rebellion started", but it's a good one.

The Laurie Anderson show last Tuesday was indeed excellent! 
Went out for beers afterwards with my friends Jerry and Jill, and had a wonderfully intense and fascinating conversation with Jill's friend Mairin. You know, one of those conversations where everything just clicks, and you understand everything the other person is saying because you could almost have said it yourself.

Not in regards to the lovely miss nvgoddess, but in regards to an alternate upcoming show.

Well, the pub night at Napper Tandy's went quite well, although the sound was less than perfect. I hate bad sound. The next time, I want to do the sound setup myself.
Anyway, the place was packed, and there was much consumption of adult beverages, which should please the bar owner. I have a couple of pictures of what the place looked like, and I'll...

Last night I went and heard Pushbox play a fornicatingly awesome set over at The Liquid Lounge. Had a nice chat before the show with their lead singer, Georgia (who could easily become an SG, if she ever wants to 
). By the end of the night, I was in higher spirits than I've been in I don't know when.
I'm working on getting one...

I realized the reason behind our frustrations over lyrics this evening.
The lines I quoted at first were from Finnegan's Wake, which coincidentally is the song that Poet asked if I knew that night at Jeff and Theresa's.
I really should eat within thirty hours of drinking.

Last night I went and heard a Peruvian band, Kantu, play at Walden's Coffee House. I was glad to see that a couple of local musician-friend's of mine were there too , but a little disappointed that the audience wasn't larger than a dozen people or so. 
Perhaps the PR was lacking: I suppose that the show was only arranged in the last...

So, having had a week to recover from that last humongously whomping big sunnavabitch of a storm, things are beginning to trend back towards normal. Not there yet, but on the way.
This past Friday my Irish band, Crannog Bheag, played at Walden's Coffeehouse. Not just my band, Kevin and Nora's too, but you know what I meant! Dare I say we kicked butt? Alright,...

Hey, what apartments are you in? Looks exactly like my sisters. We went and picked her up on Saturday morning and made her move her car and when we got back Sunday night all but one or two carports in the whole complex had collapsed! 
It's pretty ridiculous that maintenance wasn't taking care of that shit as soon as it started happening!
