I know, I know, it's been a week and I still haven't said anything about my vacation. It was fun though, and I’ll get to it, I promise. I'm just busy doing other things, like deconstructing tshirts, swimming wif my love, keeping my place clean, etc. I'm also strangely ambivalent about writing here. Which is strange. I just took such a long hiatus from it while redesigning this site that I got out of the habit. Must get back in; my thoughts are much more clearly defined when I can write them down and sort them out.

Saturday night, we went to Chandler's for Slowcoaster. Always a treat, this night was special. They got a new sound guy (Carter?), and from the first moment they began playing (straight through from sound check into a set), I was enchanted. Normally, Bar Bands sound muffled and twitchy. SlowCo is always great, but there is always something too loud or not loud enough.

Saturday, though? The sound was stellar. Pristine. It was like listening to a CD. On a very expensive system. And their playing was just fabulous. Steve’s voice was on, Mike was extra-brilliant on the bass, and it was the first time I’d seen them since Devon was back and Gumby started playing percussion with them.

Faaaaaaaaabulous.
