feeling the need
to update.
i don't really have much to say. i don't think. but you never know until you start talking.
most of you know i'm job searching for a real job. i have one position in my sights i'm really hoping for. i interviewed on friday, so we'll see what happens.
i'm looking forward to getting a new camera in the next coupla months. a small purchase for now, and hopefully later a nice (d)SLR. i can't wait. i've grown out of the one i have, and i'm itching to expand and take it more seriously.
i did have an exceptional weekend. it was Over the Rhine season at Canal Street Tavern in Dayton. those apples - they're the greatest. we are blessed.
friday started out with bill and i picking up some coffee at Chuck Roast's house for the merch table. it's always neat to meet people who make a living doing something out of the ordinary. they make coffee - in their house.
so then we headed up to dayton, caught the band rite around sound-check time and was told they were covering R.E.M.'s The One I love. all i'm saying is, thank God bill had his ipod.
we met a lot of folks at Brixx for some dinner, lots of talks and good laughs there.
and then headed down to CST.
what an amazing show. truly one of the best i've seen. and i believe i'm on number 64. (holy smokes, that's a lot)
it was an amazing nite... that music is so deeply connected to my soul. i felt like i could stand up and praise them like it was sunday morning or something.
bill and i got back to my apt. around 3 a.m. sheesh.
early on saturday was spent getting food, flowers for karin, and since Kent was in town... going to the record store. Shake-It Records to be exact. i love that place.
we all met up at Thai 9 in Dayton... mmmm, sushi. fine food and fine folks to share it with.
we got in line rather early and froze our aces off. my friend Jeff joined us.
our friend Scott and fellow mercher hooked up me and bill with some ridiculously cool OtR memorabilia. what i'm saying is, i now have a gig poster that says Sudsy's on it. yeah, don't be jealous. jack pot.
saturday's show was really good as well. i found myself sitting there thinking, they're just too good to be playing this little bar. (however much i love that little bar)
they've made a tradition of giving away vintage vinyl albums. yours truly was part of the trivia and it was sufficiently embarassing. but really funny. i missed one of the questions about myself, but i got an OtR question rite. go me. :)
and then my name was actually tacked on to the end of Jack's Valentine. that Linford is so clever.
it was a really good show, and i'm sad for the folks who couldn't make it. Keith, Anna, Mich, etc. see you soon, tho.
i've got some pictures to throw on here. so here ya go.

i left out so much, but this entry is far too long. heeey, who's making the rules here?
