In with the Old
It’s Summer time and the annual Summer tradition of hauling all of one’s unwanted crap onto the driveway so other people can pay you to take it away has begun. I have already partaken in the tradition finding a black and decker skill saw for twenty bucks (I’m still stoked about that find) and I hoping to go find a few more treasures this weekend. We’ll see what fortune will bring.
The inspiration for the bargain hunting is a new residence Melissa and I will be moving into some time in June. As this will be our first house we thought we’d go for something simple and nice, and found a 115 year old beauty that could be a dream home or a nightmare. Most people who look at it use terms like “elbow grease” and “TLC” , terms that send shivers down the spine of lesser men. Luckily for me, I have in my corner the “do-it-yourself king” dad and the “I live in the house I built with my bare hands” father-in-law. Old creaky home, prepare to be owned.
Now, what does any of this have to do with music you ask? Yeah, I’m kinda wondering that myself as well. Since getting back from Wichita life has speed up about ten clicks, but musically I’m twiddling my thumbs while Chad does the mixes and re-recording on the drums. Silly me didn’t get any scratch tracks so I have nothing to tease the three of you that read this blog with except a short video. So, I’ll leave you with that teaser and encourage you to make a trip down to the Mission Theatre Lounge some night when I’m playing. Fourth Friday’s (let’s not mention they have me on May 29th this month and that is the fifth Friday and I’m kinda worried about the booking guy’s math skills…)
Later,
