today Jacques and i went to lastchance to see about the cds...the one we'd sold up there like a month ago was still there...guess it's not really "moving"...Larry was there but there wasn't much to say i guess...we did give him a copy to listen to...then we were outside talking to Larry, just chattin'...some guy who was up there talking to him made a comment about gay marriages so Jacques got into an argument with him for like an hour and a half...it was kind of amusing...but then it was more kind of cold...i was mostly quiet but i had a few comments here and there...Larry didn't say much either...hopefully he's not a big christian or something and got offended by anything Jacques said (which wasn't really OFFENSIVE, per say, just not pro-christian) and will now hate us and never talk to us again, etc...he didn't say much either...i doubt that's the case, but it was just kind of amusing more than anything...

anyway after that The Family Ghost practiced and it was pretty awesome...the one new thing is really worked out and ready for our show (THIS WEEK)...i was hoping we'd have all this new stuff ready for our next show (which we would have had had we not been surprised by this sneak show in a week...but the other new thing should definitely be ready for our other "next" show in like two weeks...) anyway, the new thing that is ready, while we were practicing it i did the strangest thing ever for the first time...at the end where it's huge and loud i was fucking jumping up and down!(?) to me it's the weirdest thing...but it was just so fucking awesome and i was just started jumping and just banging the heck out of that one chord i keep playing at the end...

anyway, for something really nerdy...we were sitting around the computer afterwards and i noticed this guy who does some shows on wevl (local community radio station) had added us (he's the guy whose girlfriend works with and she gave a cd to her to give to him some time ago...) then we notice his playlist for this week's Memphis Beat and he actually played "A Series of False Starts"! so we've been played on the local show of the community station! i dunno, it's really cool for me...then we followed the link to his blog for his other show Music Lovers...okay, back story: last week Jacques and i were at Shangri-La and he noticed that cdr we made back in 2003 in the $1 bin, the cd we gave out for free...it was kinda weird and almost made me feel dirty seeing it in a dollar bin, but whatever...so in the blog he talks about the stuff he got at Shangri-La's annual record exchange...well, in the list is that self-titled cdr...he got our real cd, played it on the radio, then saw this other thing and bought it! (cheaply, but still...) that's kinda weird...and pretty cool...for some reason it makes me very excited...so...yeah...i guess that's all i got to say...
