thanks ben franklin...

...for inventing the American library system that i am currently using to type this blog post. what a country!

so the drive to finish up the new song arrangements before we meet up with casey and andy continues stronger than ever. i unfortunately missed out on some practice due to my car running out of gas on the way, but we still got some stuff done. most notably on a new instrumental number entitled 'can we share the bench' that was largely written by our cello player ben austin. i really want to get this song worked out and done so we can show you guys, because its definitely the most technically proficient thing we've done so far. i never thought we would be heading into math rock territory, but that's what seems to be in the cards for this little number. it's a toughie, but that will only make it that much better once we get it perfected.

so after the relative disaster that was this past saturday, i am hoping that our show on thursday goes well. the fact that we are all incredibly excited, (admittedly a tad more so than we were for the grad party) and the fact that we couldn't be playing with a better set of bands (unwed sailor, sybris, and fellow thievelanders to be a high powered executive) has me feeling pretty optimistic.
another great thing about the show; it will be our first one where our cd will actually be for sale! so if you don't have one yet and hate the internet, come out and pick up a copy! i guarantee you it will be an investment. we'll even sign it for you or something to ensure that ebay feedback in 50 years (if there is still ebay, or the internet, or money, or a planet in 50 years).

well i think i've rambled just about long enough. according to the timer in my task bar i only have 20 minutes left on this computer, so i want to use it for something productive (i guess).

remember; thursday, june 26th @ grog shop w/ unwed sailor, sybris, to be a high powered executive

be there or be... somewhere else.

cheers,
