It just wouldn't be a weekend without some kinda rockin' now, would it?
Friday night it was another Scarecrow Balcony rehearsal turned party when people just kept showing up and rocking out with us. Our warehouse is starting to become known as a place to party, which is not very good for a band that wants to practise... it's always a load of fun, but we've got to curb it somehow or we'll never get anything done.
Saturday night I played a show with Randomblind at The Anza - and though there were 35 people in the audience including the bands and the bartender, we still put on an awesome show, with great sound, and had a great time. I think it's safe to say that was the best show we've ever done - by far... out of two gigs now. LOL.
Sunday, Carole and I went to the PNE. we went on 9 or 10 rides, took in the Superdogs, Nearly Neil, viewed the prize home (bought tickets for it...) checked out some fat pigs, fuzzy chicks, and wooly sheep, ate the obligatory bag of mini-doughnuts, and managed to get out of there without spending a penny on darts, hoops, rings, balls, or anything else that can be thrown or tossed for a change to win a cheap Tiawanese SpongeBob keychain. Yes, I got out of there unscathed, despite the flurry of barkers yelling "Come on man, what's wrong with you? That beautiful girl's holding nothing! What kind aman are you? You've gotta win her something to prove your love! Oh, you don't love her, is that it?" For the record, the last big stuffed critter I won her went in our last garage sale for 25 cents.
We were smart enough to leave the PNE grounds for dinner, so we had Thai on Main Street with Carole's sister in law before heading back for more rollercoaster rides - and considering that I had to find PNE parking TWICE, I was pretty damned lucky. The going rate was $12, but I managed to find free parking the first time and $4 parking the 2nd time. So all told, 9 rides, dinner, superdogs, chicken pee and parking set us back $163 - and it could have been a LOT worse... Imagine if we had a couple of kids? Whooowee!
that's insane....
