Well the something went down. Though I know I made it sound all important and mysterious but it was the band (www.calledtoruin.com) having to fire our bass player. He's been a good friend for a few years and he's not a happy camper right now. Dammit if bands don't ruin friendships sometimes. All this band nonsense and we are supposed to be going into the recording studio starting on saturday, The whole reason this went down was becasue our former bass player had some skill issues that were smothering the creative writing process. It was very slow and very tedious with him involved And in the end he would come up with very average bass lines. Now we have this new guy thats been playing in bands for almost 15 years and his skills show it. LAst night I watched as he wrote completely new bass lines to 2 of the 6 songs we are going to record next week. He's been in the band 1 day and he's impressing me already. I think i like him. Its going to be another LONG practice tonight trying to get the new guy up to speed. But fianlly , for now, things are settled in band and the onward and upward swing will continue (we scheduled a show opening for Spineshank at the end of next week!).
I just hope that the old bass player still remains the good guy that he is. I know he's going to go onto a different band and I'm sure it's going to be soon. I wish him all the good luck in the world becasue hes a good kid. whew. now enough of that.

I went out for a little boozing last night after I met with the new bass player. I had a fun time chillin with my friend DAnielle as she introduced me to the wonderful (or not) world of Kettle one (sp?) chilled vodka shots. WHOA those things slammed my non drinking stoner ass DOWN. I'm such a cheap date i tell ya. We got our party on after hours inside our friends bar in downtown San Jose and I didnt get home until after 3. Of course i had to work this morning which meant i had to get up at 6 am. Pretty much I took a "nap" instead of full on sleep and then I woke up with the WORST headache and barley drug my sorry almost still drunk ass to work. Fuck i hate work. hehehe If it wasnt for the 420 breaks (which I normally don't actually do at work) I would not have made it through the day. Hope things are cool for everyone!

peace, music & 420
