I haven’t posted in forever. Work really picked up and there wasn’t even a third of a lunch break for me to update my life. I feel like for the past 4 weeks I’ve been going to work, leaving late and then coming home and staying up as late as I can to feel like I actually have a life. Weekends were worse, I was out until 4 or 5am for most of last month which has left me looking haggard. My nana even commented on the change! I do look tired, but rest assured (pun intended) I leave for vacation today! I’m heading out to Utah to visit a CSer (Buckerssss) that I hosted last summer. We are driving over night to San Diego where I get to see my beautiful friend Lis who I have been separated from for nearly 2 years since leaving the farm in CT. This vacation is well deserved and for the love of god needed! My boss already tried to pack me a laptop to take….
Onto other news, I successfully played out several times since the last time I updated. I even had my own show at Nobody’s and played an hour set at Gallery 464 for a pre-infringement party! I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback and an invite for another show in August. I’ll let everyone know where my spot is for infringement fest at the end of July.
Other exciting things that have happened, I got to see Pearl Jam for the first time ever. Here’s an email excerpt post show: ‘so Eddie might be the coolest guy ever. Even when the band was rockin he was just walking around, adjusting his socks, smoked a cigarette and everyone was just enthralled with what he was doing. Why does everyone throw him clothes??? He must have walked away with 10 flannels and t-shirts. One girl in the front threw him a shoe; he filled it to the brim with wine and got under it to pour it into his mouth and everybody was cringing and at the last second he dumped it all over the stage and threw the shoe back where she proceeded to lick the remainder of the wine out. They truly are amazing performers and so energetic! Especially McCready; he was running all over the stage. Every time Boom came on it was like this ominous presence haha, he kinda creeped me out. They played my two favorite songs off YIELD (No Way and Given to Fly) and at the beginning of their second set Eddie started Fatal and completely botched the lyrics and starts waving his hands goes, “NO! STOP! I FUCKED IT UP! START AGAIN!” and then “Can I get another bottle please??”’
Lastly, my crop share has started and I’ve been enjoying delicious asparagus and radishes! The lettuce just came in yesterday; looked like some field mix and a boston leaf-none of which I can enjoy now that I’ll be gone for the next week!
Hope that will tie you over until I come back. Be ready for wonderful west coast pics and tales!
