Pretty much fully recovered from yesterday's concert at work, except my back. Ironically, I spent a lot of the day shadowing a roadie because he had completely fucked his back the last concert on their tour. Anyway, I started out the day rigging up the lighting truss, then moved on to help the guy out, got to get the opening band off after their set,...

Two concerts in as many days, though two completely different bands. Tonight I saw a trio called Project. They are...well the easiest descriptor is Jazz trio: Flute, Bass, and Cello. They met about 13 years ago at a conservatory and started making twists on classics and new works alike. Tonight, on top of several original pieces they jazzed up Peter and the Wolf, the Nutcracker,...

Got off from work last night in time for a decent concert. Saosin came to play an acoustic set at a local bar, and the music was great. But, the bar was talked into making it an all ages show, so they didn't sell any booze until after the show. This kind of made most of their jokes fall flat; I thought they were funny...

Anyways, I got...

I made it through. Work was quite the bitch. It only took 34 hours of my life in a 48 hour timespan. Basically, last year one of the buildings that I worked in was taken over by another company, and they had their heads up their asses, making me not want to work there. However, this week was their first actual concert and they had...

So, I got my lobes stretched to a 0g today, thanks to Churtch. After having it so easy when I stretched to 2g, I was a little impatient to wait any longer to stretch to 0g. A little more pain due to them being a little tight and just a bit of tearing. But no blow out so I am still happy.

Anyways, I...

So, I just got back from Missouri. Really fun: visited a nice dive bar, was useless the next day, checked out some cute shops on Sunday, and had one of the creepiest rides home getting back at 1230am. We got into southern Iowa around 930 1000 and all of a sudden there was a caravan of Amish buggies coming through the dense fog. There is...
