In order to make you feel better about your last week, let’s go over mine:
<begin whine>
Saturday: The Witches
Ball was an embarrassing mess. We
were obviously added to late the bill to late to
make it on any posters or marketing - not even their website mentioned
us by the day of the show. The only poster we were on was the
one I posted on my
LJ, and so consequently the only people who came to see us were a
couple dozen LJ
friends. (thanks! sorry!) That should have been fine, since the venue claimed it’d
have about 700 people coming from their "organization". Ooops! Try,
like 150. This constitues are smallest show in 2 years.
To polish off this fine day, our guitar player got so drunk
he couldn’t play for the first three songs. *growel* He's done that before, and I have to say I'm not happy about it.
hey, at least we got shot at by shriners!
Sunday: I spent
Sunday recovering from Saturday – but I will never fully heal.
Monday: Halloween
brought a typhoon, the like of which is seldom seen in Gig Fucking
Harbor. Rain makes
traffic, and the combo kept away both party goers and trick-or-treaters. Also, I had to return the rental PA this day, AND decorate for halloween - by
the time guests started showing up, I was too tired to put on a
costume, and was the only person at MY HALLOWEEN party without a
costume!!! Keristina spend the hole party holding Cholic-inflicted Isabella in our bedroom.
It was cool hanging out with new and seldom seen friends
– and we did scare a few kids away. It was fun chatting and drinking
and stuff, so this day wasn't a total loss - and the food rocked.

Tuesday: Suburban
decides to make an accordion of me, Isabella, and my new Mercedes. The 90
billion ton SUV mashed me into a pickup truck in front of us. Day finishes out
with trips to the hospital for all, and lots of insurance and police paperwork.
Wednesday: My day
of bed rest turns out to be a stressful wreck, as we are
forced to acknowledge Isabella has colic every bit as bad as Chloe had.
Thursday: Auto shop
reports the repairs will cost at least $10grand, and take AT LEAST 3 weeks.
Due to excesive pants tightness, I begin a no-fun diet. The house is still filled with yummy Halloween Candy. I am snacky.
Receive a fan mail saying (summarised) "your music
rocks, but you sing about death too often! Its depressing. Please write
music about happy things, so happy people can listen". I reaspond with:
A: We don't sing about death at all - the album title is a Niezche reference, and there aren't ANY songs about death!
B: We are a GOTH BAND
C: Bite me
Friday: It is
readily acknowledged that the steering wheel mark in my forehead is probably linking
me to the now dead Gorbachov. If he was still alive, we could send secret
messages to each other via our matching blotches, but alas, he is dead, so I
keep getting a busy signal.
With any luck , I COULD have come out looking like Harry Potter. Obviously, no luck this week!
The Future: What excitement does the my future hold? A weekend of birthday parties with Kristina's inlaws! Waahoo!
