Friday, Friday, Friday

     Hey guys, thanks for your responses to my first post. I'm actually pretty excited to start keeping a real blog.  I will post links and whatnot to our stuff very soon.

     We don't have any shows this weekend. We've actually been getting ready for a special one-time-only covers set for a Halloween event at a "historic" local punk rock bar.

     Every Halloween they get a handful of bands to cover entire sets of "real" bands. A few years ago, an old band of mine did an entire Ramones set. That was more of a challenge than you'd think. Sure, it's 97% power and barre chords, but when the songs are THAT similar, the arrangements are easy to mess up. This year it requires some real costumes, and much more lead work. It's also way outside my standard list of artists on the ole iPod.  I don't want to give anything away, but I'm gonna need some sweat proof silver face paint, and some platform boots.

Ugh, part of me is excited, the other part of me is totally dreading it. We'll see how it goes. I won't be updating this weekend because the lady and I are going out of state, but rest assured, I will get back with everyone.
