Being sick is stupid.
I've had an eventful couple of weeks, most notably, going to Chicago last week to see the Stones. The show was good, however, I came back from my trip w/a hefty cough that's only gotten worse. I think I can attribute that to the fact that the weather there was shite and my friend had a pretty bad cold. Looks like I've got to tough it out. I did manage to get a fair amount of good crappy video footage to remember the show by. I also came back from the trip sporting a nice new winter-ready Guiness cap that I picked up down at the pier. So, all was not lost. I just hate being sick.
Aside from seeing the Stones I also saw Roger Waters 10 days prior to that in Indianapolis....traffic was nothing shy of a clusterfuck....I'd say almost the worst traffic experience I've ever dealt with for a show. The venue was out in the middle of fucking nowhere with the only entrance and exits being two lane highways. Fucking bullshit to say the least. However, I did manage to get a free VIP parking space that allowed us to make a quick getaway once the show was over. We managed to go to Applebee's and enjoy a fine steak for about an hour, leave, and then still run into some traffic jam nonsense. At least I got to sit comfortably in a restaraunt enjoying fine dining while other people where stuck in a crowded mess of a parking lot.
Among other concert news, I went with my girlie Meow to see KMFDM in Cleveland two days before I left for Chicago to see the Stones. I was happy that I finally got to see them after all these years. The only downside to this show is Meow realized she left the tickets at home after we had been on the road for a good 45 min. Too late to turn around. She paid for a whole new set of tickets....I guess she was a little bummed to say the least. On the upside, we recently just picked up free tickets for Trauma here in C-bus, so I guess it all works out.
So while I was in Chicago, my babydoll got pushed down while attending Hanzel Und Gretyl at Skully's and got her knee fucked up pretty bad. So bad that she couldn't walk for a few days and is still limping. That fact that she was pushed down by a mutual friend of ours for no reason and who also seems a little unremorseful pisses me off to say the least. I offered my services to take care of the situation, but I think my baby's got it squared away...however, I don't think relations will be the same between us and our friend for awhile. I did my best to take care of her and took her to Urgent Care as well as called off work the next day to help her out when she needed it. I love my girl to death and I hate to see her get hurt.
Switching up a little, I went to a custom framing shop today to get a picture of mine professionally framed as I hope to make good on a sale that Keith, the guitarist for Buckcherry, was interested in making. I'd have to say that previously this pic was not for sale as it is most definitely my favorite pic that I have ever done and certainly the most personal. However, I changed up my mind when I realized that selling the original to him could definitely be beneficial to my artistic future (It's hard to get your name out there). That and it wouldn't hurt to make a little spare cash. Besides, I can still make prints of the original and have several laying around. I hope to meet up with him when they play Columbus this Saturday. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Other than that, I'm hard at work getting a new website together that I'm anxious to complete. I hope to have the design finished by the end of this week. It's been way too long since I've had a serious website online and I feel like I'm missing out on alot of opportunities. I'll be sure to post the link when its complete.
