Sotano
So thurs rolled around and i started to see the first signs of movement from my sister. my friend came over and we hung out some at her friends apt, theyre artists and very nice people as well, ate at pita inn woohoo b4 picking up another friend and heading on over to neo. danced somewhat, mainly a bit of socializing on my behalf, went out to breakfast w a 3d friend, drove one friend and myself home, went to lalalalalalaaand, friday got into seeing my neice join my sister in movearama, so then another friend picked me up, went to go have some food, hung out, went by the cool cool lake at nite (montrose harbour), saw people fishing, drinking, etc. but where we walked it was quiet and all we could hear was the quiet lapping of tiny waves against the lake walls, and the distant rumble of wheels on lsd. the city looked great as the night was clear and picturesque, almost postcard quality, very nice to see chicago from afar when one is sick to death of it. anyway, we then drove around and ended up meeting 2 friends at live band karaoke. it was the first time seeing them play there, and it was pretty good, very very good band. the guitarist chick and the bassist used to share a rehearsal place with us in pilsen ages ago. anyway, i got to see my friend do helter skelter! awesome, some other songs, i was set to do X's Johnny hit and run Pauline, but the band made a mistake putting the song down without knowing it, and i had to improvise wot i was gonna sing, i went into a blank and ended up doing Bowie's Sufragette City. It was a good version and the crowd seemed to dig it, oh well. Anyway, after that it was lights out for me, i was exhausted. The next day i got up early to help sister, do some chores, and got some hornado for all to partake. I went to see my friend at the store so since it was lunchtime i brought her some too, she didnt enjoy hers quite as much as i did mine...and i did enjoy mine immensly!!! Anyway, hung out there for a bit, drove us home, hung out, got ride from a friend, got mcds (ugh) drove back to nw indiana, drove back, ended up going to friends house who gave ride, looked thru cd's, passed out, woke up, grabbed computer, and came home and died. Sunday woke up, saw niece for split sec. still moving, did some practicing, friend came over, took me to gunther murphys to see the Rock for the Whisper II which had some great bands. I got there in time to see BoozeMaster, then the Safes as a 4 piece again...awesome. Then the heebie geebies performed, it was ok, then our drummer and i took the stage. It was a 2 piece which i jokingly described as the brown stripes. I didnt know we were being recorded but we were. Oh yeah, i had gotten a bit tipsy and decided to call chuck last minute to see if he wanted to do it LOL. I drunk dialed an ex band member hhahahahahaha. Of course he declined. So we did the best we could, usual performance set, ended it w the Kinks' Where Have All the Good Times Gone. The soundman bought me a double makers, as did my friend and this yuppie couple, i was headed for trouble. The organizers said they gave me the biggest balls award to do this show still as a 2 piece. Oh well, chicken was never that good! heh, Then we saw Plastik Explosives, theyre really good!! then saw the Matics who have changed somewhat since i last saw them but are getting pretty tight, then the Phenoms did a raving show. Then my bandmate and friend both wanted to eat something badly, so i told them to leave as i wanted to watch the last band Mexican Cheerleader. So they left and i watched. Saw some old friends, hung out, got picked up again, got taken home, collapsed. Oh i know i shouldnt have drank that much, all the pbr's in the world and all the whiskey i could handle (w pbr) and the ciggys, and i was a wreck, add to the fact that i hadnt had anything to eat ALL DAY and it was midnight and i was still drinking (started at almost 6pm) and when i got home i just felt like crap. I had to late night snack, there was no other way around it.Thank god there was monday....so now im paying for it.Monday rolled around and so did i, in bed. I felt like not moving at all. But then i got woken up and took out the pooch, went for a quiet stroll, got back in, my friend called, we went to breakfast, ate delicious breakfast faire, got back, did some online things, then chilled. Did nothing the whole day basically other than be online, make a bigger mess, eat eat and eat, long lazy day, what can one do when the night b4 was everything vice? Im ill again, someones lovely virus has got me, so im coughing and im feeling ill, and my state of mind is getting scared as the move approaches and i have yet to find myself in any kind of stable ground. We shall see...we shall see!
