Shooting today was great. The weather cleared up for the perfect window for our outing. We were surrounded on all sides by dark, miserable clouds that beckoned rain, yet above us was beautiful blue sky. We got out there as the rain was just finishing its drizzle, and we left just as the drizzle started to come down again. It also works out that we were leaving because some assholes came and were taking over the spot we were shooting at. I hate people.... have I ever mentioned that? Not sure if I did. We didn't get any pictures though.... we forgot the camera.
Got two or three situations lined up for music... A couple of friends have a band called These Acoustic '80s and their drummer is leaving town. Which works out for me and them both. Me because I get to play drums in a band, and them because well.... to be honest, and not egocentric, I'm a better drummer than he is. I'm not trying to sound like some asshole, either. The kid has talent, and with a bit of practice he could be bad ass, but he's got tempo, and rythym problems. I'm not the greatest, either, but I now I can keep a steadier beat than him, and my drumming is proably four times as creative as his.
Okay, done with bitching about that.... Then, there's another friend and I that are trying to start a harcore/metal band. Not really enthused about that, but music is music.
Finally I had some guy call me responding to a forum ost on a local music page about needing a drummer.... seems that getting a drum set is the best call I ever made. Everyone needs a drummer.
Anything else? Oh.... so, there's chance, however small that I might be moving to phoenix in the "near" future. By near I mean: I have no clue how far off. Drake is moving back up to Mesa for a job, and he said that if he decides to get his own place, I'm welcome to come up and move in with him. Exciting, I need a change of scenery for a while.
I think that's about all that's worth mentioning. What a mundane life.

If you do get a regular thing going, let me know, and I'll come hear you play.
If you do move, I could drag you around the bar scene and we could get all plastered and pass out in alleys together!!
Also, I know a few drummers up here and a few guitarists that are always looking to start something new or add a person to their line up!
