It's that time of year again, the annual "Whale of a Day" festival right here in my neighborhood. I hear the goddawful One Man Band guy right on schedule. The shoobies just eat this stuff up! I went down there last year and actually found some vintage vinyl. Think I'll pass this year though, gotta save for tour.

I've calmed down a bit since my...

Vinni's party, CMCH, NJ 6/22/06

Styrofoam Paradise thru a graduation/b-day party for Vinni so us dopes crashed it and played.

We got there around 6:30 to find a house full of kids and a keg of beer, Being the responsible (or should I say paranoid) adult, I refused to indulge. Instead, we headed out to the back deck where the gear was set up. Ah,...

American Legion Hall, Cape May Courthouse, NJ 6/15/06

What can I say? The best local show ever! All the bands were fantastic, and much props go out to the Sheckie kids and everyone who came out. All the bands were telling me afterwards how our little town was the best stop on tour. Circle pits, dancing, everyone having fun, and no fights. You all deserve...

I've been having a fun week after working my ass off the previous one 'coz of the golf tournement. The 6-6-6 party Tuesday night was great! Met up with old friends and met new ones as well. Props to Ralph and Derek for organizing it. We all met up at the old Douglas Fudge pavillion on the Wildwood boardwalk. All the old S.K.U.D.'s (S.kumbag K.ids...

The golf tournement is basically over, I survived unscathed. Wound up with only 51 hours, a far cry from the 65 hours I would get back in the day. Still will be a great check with a bonus on top to boot. Gotta save that money for tour, so tempted to splurge though. I did order the new Tool, Pearl Jam, & RHCP CD's on...

Hurricane East, Wildwood, NJ 5/30/06

It could've been the last music night at the 'ol Hurricane. If it was, we closed it out right!

I rode with Andy in the van. We picked up Tweety and Shields for the ride. After a quick stop at Joe Canal's for Shields, we were there. Place was near empty, and it didn't get much better by showtime. It's...

Time to renew the 'ol drivers license so I headed down to the local DMV. I figure here's my old license, here's my social security card, no problems. Well the little weasel of a man that was the receptionist informs me they now have the "6 points of ID" system. I'm like huh? what? Apparently I now need my friggin' birth certificate to get a...

Is it me or is Ontario, Canada the SG capital of the world? Nice work indeed!

I rarely get a chance to check up on all my SG friends here, and I apologize for that. I made it a point to check in and leave some comments. I also sent more friend requests thru My Space. Hope I didn't annoy you all too much!

I've...

Work especially in the next week or so. 3 awful events. 1 - Memorial Day Weekend, 2 - End of required spending this month (we go thru this every friggin' year, the idiot club members have a full year to...

Took about 4 hours for the trip. I tell you, it was a beautiful ride. Being a flatlander, Im not used to hills and mountains. The ride up 476 and...

Spent yesterday getting the car ready for the big roadtrip to see the Crowes this Wednesday in Johnson City, NY. Cleaned it out, got an oil change, and went to Radio Shack. I was tempted to get an MP3 player, but I just went with a Sony Discman, car adapter, and a CD wallet that holds 32 discs. So what did I fill it with...
