been awhile

hey folks. it's been almost 2 weeks since i last blogged. here's what's happening...

band practice continues to evolve. we're practicing at bob the bassist's house. he has a moog. it loops on itself in a way similar to "teenage wasteland" by the who, but with more low-end (becuase it's a moog). we had lots of fun with it last week, going off on some serious improvisational tangents. if we can muster the cajones to do that stuff live, it might be pretty freakin' cool.

started taking my flytying class last week. so far, i've learned to tie this, this, this, this and this (with different coloring). those last two are really difficult, and i'm not sure how good a flytier i'm going to be right off the bat. i think what will happen the first year or two is that i'll get really good at a few basic patterns, and tie a ton of them until i get sick of them, then start to experiment with other stuff.

jeff tweedy is doing a solo show at the gothic theater in denver on thursday, february 16. i love this man - he is my personal musical hero. jenn and mary (jamie's roommate) and i are going, and snookum and frak from denver are meeting us there. i am very, very excited.

wendell gee is in town, running a conference. she's been ripping it up daily, and i plan on riding with her on friday.

link o' the day:

a greater feat than wilt's 100? i don't know. i certainly have no love for kobe (narcissistic, philandering, whiny, dimwitted man-child), but his 81 points on sunday was absolutely ridiculous.

willis out!
