Nervousness over my first show in awhile (which led to me being a basket case much of Thursday and Friday)
Bronchitis (which sent me to bed most of the day Saturday)
A dead radio station (may it live again)
The good stuff
As mentioned before, my show with the ever so lovely and talented
sweetmusic_27.Howling Boat (or Toy Beagle) pulling a show out of our ... ummm, doing a show on the fly to fill in time. The 4 of us had never played those songs before, and I think we were pretty darn good.
TWO
filkertom shows, both different, both brilliantTwo visits to my favorite holy place
YUMMY indian food with good friends Saturday evening (at which point I started feeling better)
sweetmusic_27's solo show ... I had no idea you could sing like thattollers's solo show ... But I already knew you could sing like thatharperjen's solo show ... see aboveThe three folks mentioned above and their show Saturday night, I only saw a bit, but man it was good.

Some nifty news that a few of you have heard, and that hopefully if it comes off a lot more of you will hear toward the end of the year (hey, I gotta be vague sometimes)
It was very much a hot and cold weekend. Much of it was pretty bad, but in the end the high points far outweighed the bad parts.
And I am back to the Chicago area this weekend for Toyboat practice, then off to Marscon the following weekend for a Toyboat show in a small room ... it's gonna be ugly folks.
