Whats the best way to deal with a really bad medical scare? Go to a comedy club. I went with some friends last night to go and see Brian Posehn. It was the perfect medicine. It was I think for once good not to have to be the funny guy and just laugh your ass off. It was a good tonic.
Then it was to my friends record label for a party, I had 2 beers. Which I think suprised a lot of people. Even the host. I stuck to my rule of not getting loaded. My new competition did. He made a point to say to some of the musicians there. Who is mastering you. And they all pointed to me. He got a bit miffed. But he is young and will do his thing for a bit. One can only survive on plug ins for so long. He kept asking me really loud what analog gear I had. So I told him. He got more miffed. And left the party. I stayed cool. Good for me.
And I am very thankful for the kindness of a friend. I did not tell anyone about my little spook except her. I was pretty rattled from the news and an unexpected phone call made it all seem ok. They are good folks.
So today is more electrical testing on my jeep, and off to fort collins tonight to play an engagement party for 2 of the greatest folks in the world. I met the female end one night at a show after she got pissed at her sister and said loudly "Is there anyone here that has not fucked my sister?" I was behind the soundboard and I raised my hand timidly. She said we are friends forever. Bang.
So it is good I have a few rules now. Keeps me human.

The who has not fucked my sister anecdote is gold.
BTW, loved your little mention of the Sham Wow dude a few blogs back. Have you ever noticed that his eyes are like Marty Feldman funky? They're set crooked on his head and one is definitely bigger than the other. If I had to stand face to face with him in a conversation I'm not really sure I'd know which eye to look at. Bad form..... I'm also convinced that he has reptilian DNA. He's not fully creepy enough to make you run away, but you wouldn't want to touch him.
