Car, Walk, Hat, Store
Nov. 9th, 2025 12:37 pmI went and took the car to the dealership to get the next six months maintenance knocked out (been just over a year now!). Then Mary Beth and I went to the Park. We walked around the Old Forest and the pond and lay down on the Greensward as it got dark. We're in some nice peak fall-lookin' trees now. After that I swung by B-Side real quick to pick up this hat that one of the touring musicians had lost. (We'd found it after they left as I mentioned in my last post, but weren't sure if it was the right one, but I sent a pic and he confirmed it so I went back for it.) Then Mary Beth and I did a big quarterly or thirdly or whatever Kroger run (for those things we can't get at Superlo, etc.). It's sad that I've had doms in my legs the past couple days for the very minimal loading of equipment (mostly just the projector and screen) at the show. At least I caught up on sleep last night.
Couple things I did remember to mention that I forgot in my DVOA post. They were all in very humorous spirits, joking around a whole bunch (on stage as well as off). And they'd break out into song quite often. While they were setting up and messing with the projector, they all burst out singing "Practice Makes Perfect". And then afterwards, because some version of it was playing on the overhead, they all burst out singing...maybe it was "Close to You"...I think it was that or another Carpenters song, but not one hundred percent sure. Anyway, them and Kevin were all bursting out with it together. And it was just a big loud sing along and it was fun and funny. Also Joe the sound guy was very nice and attentive and it sounded great. I've always heard great things about the sound there from musicians who play there, but sometimes when I'm there I haven't really heard it myself, like it didn't sound bad but didn't seem all that great, but this time I thought it really did. I think that's all I can remember to blab about for now.
