Well we had a last practice before the big gig tomorrow. I kept noticing how my 18" crash cymbal was sounding like shit. So I took it off to examine it and discovered a crack running along one of the middle rings. Goddammit! And I just bought this as part as a cymbal pack only a few months ago. I guess you get what you pay for. This is the second Sabian that's cracked like that so I give up on them! It friggin' figures too. Everytime I get of money saved up something happens. So another Sheckie trip was in order.
We all headed up to Guitar Center. Andy, Penny, K, & myself. I wasn't fucking around. I'm back with Zildjian's. Wound up with a 18" A Custom Projection Crash. Even got a 2 year insurance plan. Cripes, At this rate I need it! It cost almost as much as the Sabian prepack just by itself! $170 total. Money well spent I hope.
After that it was on to the Hamilton Mall. Ended up eating Taco Bell and browsing thru Suncoast Video. Found "This Is Spinal Tap" on sale for $7.99. Just general fun a foolishness was had by all.
I had to stop by Borders to see the latest import music magazines they got in. Picked up the February issue of Mojo with Sid Vicious on the cover. Haven't read it yet but I'm rockin' the fuck out with the free CD the issue had, "The Roots of the Sex Pistols". A 15 track CD of all their influences. It's worth it alone for that! Cost $9 but what the fuck! Next month's issue features Bob Marley on the cover and will feature a roots reggae compilation! All in all a great trip today!
