Sets

Thursday night I got to work some more on the music I was working on and at least finished a second part (though it took way longer than it should've!). Yesterday my dad wanted to meet for lunch so we met up at Rendezvous. They gave us some free samples of red beans and rice and it was damn good. The ribs weren't as good as the last time but they were good, especially when I got the crunchy bits at the end. It was a rare moment of seeing my dad unshaven. He had a procedure for his cancer earlier this week and where he was put through a blue light or something to kill off whatever and it irritated his skin pretty bad. It's better now but he's had to skip shaving (which he never does). Work was pretty busy yesterday and I stayed a bit late. But now it's the weekend. I went to a show last night. It was the Blood like Wine release party at Canvas and they had eight damn bands on the bill. Well, things were supposed to be short and quick but it didn't really turn out that way. Revenge Body was first and Jacques started on time and had a short set and it was good (if not a little quiet by venue intervention). Then everything else went a little laissez faire. Next was some pop band that wasn't very good and they played a shortish normal length set, but not a short short set. Also set up before and after went at a pretty leisurely pace. MPX was next and he's good and all but he played an exceptionally long set. He had the drummer with him again and it was good. He called out his last song after a longish set and then the rapper who was supposed to do some stuff with him and hadn't showed up yet finally showed up so then they played a few more songs on top of that. Pretty sure the whole thing was longer than an hour (on an eight-band bill, yeah). It was fine for me 'cuz I was going to leave afterwards anyway, but man. I woke up this morning and went to the post office and mailed a Memphis Concrète shirt out. Exciting stuff. They didn't have the self kiosk at the post office this morning. It was removed. Weird 'cuz it was there just a few days ago. They'd better put it or another back. We use that darn thing "all the time."
