fifty smackeroos
on saturday night, big pants made two hundred clams for rocking the house at braun's. musically, probably our best show yet. we were tight for the most part, took some chances, changed some stuff up on the spot, incorporated some skronky noise on a few, and had a good sit-down crowd who were actually into the music. and it wasn't just all our friends and family.
i laid my $50 on jenn's nightstand when i got home around 1 a.m. and said "say hello to my little friend!" actually, i didn't say that. i said "say hello to our new downstairs bathtub tile!"
how rock n' roll is that?
and we now have confirmed gigs at mambo italiano (my fave italian in steamboat, with a fabulous patio in the summer), on july 15 and 22.

Dave, I got some bad news for you. Tile for your downstairs bathroom is going to cost you a bit more than 50 bucks. You're looking at 70 square feet to do the tub enclosure and floor and the cheapest tiles (at least that are an improvement on what you've got) are going to run two dollars a square foot and something really nice like my travertine is $5 plus. Then you've got mortar and grout, drywall and filler to fix the patches when you pull the old tiles off, new faucets so you don't have ugly 70's hardware with your nice new tiles, and then you probably want some decent lighting and so on and so forth.
Not to mention lots of beer in exchange for usage of my brain and more importantly my tile cutter.
