'cause you know, music saves us all

Hope you enjoy the massive pic, it will be gone by August 1st. :p

Today I spent a lot of time at the drum kit, and an equally long time listening to music--live music, that is. It was a pretty good day overall; however, I would have liked to have spent more time with Laura (regardless of the fact she's gone for a few days) and studied some Mandarin.

I got up before noon, watched a show about gecko-inspired technology on Discovery, and did a whole lot of nothing. At some point, I got really frustrated with my 'rents and started drumming. But I didn't just play random stuff, I practised through all my material, all of it! and made some improvement. I also played some piano. Drum lesson was around 5:00 PM, not too bad but unremarkable. Dinner took awhile because we were out of propane for the barbecue.

At around 7:15 PM Laura & I went to the "heavy" show @ Pleasant Valley Community Hall. We saw many people whom we knew there; however, when we arrived a few unpalatable punk bands were playing. So, as usual, much of the time was spent talking outside. Drew was there again; I feel like he is everywhere I go, and I cannot escape him. I waited until "Unit 29" was done playing (I like them, though they are a bit heavy and unbalanced for my liking, it's quite a talented group) and then escorted Laura home.

Quinn, Sean & Luke (¾ of "Sister Ray," or "The British East India Company") left earlier to jam at Quinn's house. Ryan Steele's band, "the Lady Esther," was to play later, but they tired of waiting for it. Windross (with his new Element) was somewhat interested in watching, as was I, so I led him there. It was an interesting experience, though I didn't learn too much new. I helped Luke pack up his kit and then went home. I just picked up a few Googlewhacks to pass the time. Tomorrow morning I am getting up to go to Hammermania (at Rutherford I think).

Total Googlewhacks to date: 52
