Heading down to L.A. this weekend, to buy some musical instruments and equipment, and to visit some friends in Santa Barbara. I'll be at the Summer Solstice Music Festival on Saturday. Aside from that, I'm leaving things somewhat flexible, just to see what happens! smile

I really liked Champaign-Urbana, I always miss the great 4th of July fireworks display there, one of the best I have ever seen. Hope you had a good weekend trip!
drchaos:
It was a good trip, mostly. Bought a second hammered dulcimer. Saw some friends, old and new. Heard an absolutely kick-ass concert by a Chicago-area Irish band called Bohola. smile Missed seeing one of my best friends (the one in Santa Barbara), unfortunately, because she and her husband wound up going out of town to visit her parents. frown I'll have to try to get down there again, I guess.

What a week! Band rehearsals went well, but had to work Saturday. Now I can take this upcoming Friday and Monday off for a trip to L.A. Got some more pics up here, finally.

Finally got a pic up. Of sorts. It's cribbed from a sketch of an Irish/American punk band that I used to be in, called 5 Green Bottles. The Kanji I stuck on there read "Ton Hakase", which is Japanese for "Dr. Chaos"!

Hi fellow scoliosisian! I wore a Milwaukee brace all the way through Jr. High and High School, but my curvature is pretty slight. Looks like you actually had the surgery, huh? That is some serious shit!
drchaos:
Yah. I too wore a brace through High School. Then I was out of it for a few years, but my curvature advanced until it was 51/51 degrees. The surgery reduced it to something like 17/17, I think. It's not too noticible any more. Not really a disability, except that I can't bend or twist most of my back. One of my brothers had the surgery also, then later had his entire back tatooed to hide the scar. I kinda like my scar, so I've left it as is! I'm glad your curvature isn't so bad.
Thanks for writing. I'll check back on your page later, but now it's late (yawn), and I really should go to slee....
