The Hook

Picked up my snare and my amp from Ryan so now I have those again (been a long time!). Went up to the p&h for the show. It was a fine time. Revenge Body was first. It was a pretty aggressive set. Frank Meadows was next, the touring musician. He played upright bass through effects pedals and had a pretty improvisatory set that was quite good. Nonconnah was last. I was the only one from the "extended lineup" that played but they had a few other guests. Jacques sat in on synth and Matthew Trisler sat in on guitar. Frank brought his bass up for part of it. It was pretty good. It had a nice sedate buildup early on. After a while it got a bit noisy. And the frickin' p&h actually gave us the hook. The guy, maybe the owner, came up and was like "Matthew Trisler. I'm sorry but you have to stop." So yeah. That was a thing! Anyway, today at work was a little weird. News came out that the cio put in his resignation (so he'll be gone at the end of the month). I always liked him and enjoyed his speeches. The pilot that we did a whole lot of work on (and at one point I freaked out over) got killed. Not our fault, at least. Some other thing that's related was supposed to have been happening for the past two years but they're just now realizing was never turned on. So that whole section of the website's been shut down. Ah well. There was a big town hall meeting with the president or whatever of our current main company. Not much from that, just being submerged in the business side of things for a little over an hour. Mary Beth and I took a walk to the park after I cam home so I'm exercised a wee bit. That's about it.
