Not just slush, sarameg, ICY slush!
Turns out rock and roll can get called on account of nasty weather. I'm just glad one of the other bands cancelled because we wouldn't have been the ones to do it. Is it sad that I'd rather stay home on my couch with my tea and watch What Not to Wear rather than driving through the nastiness to play the rock?
Anyway, we're playing a bunch in April and hardly anyone would have made it out to the show tonight anyway I bet. (am feeling a little guilty because when I talked to the show organizer he said the bar manager was willing to open and just have the two bands play and I said it was really too bad to be driving out there and that we really should cancel.)
I'm glad you cancelled, cause really, this stuff should be avoided.
Plus, you don't want people driving after a few beers. Even if you're not "drunk', you don't want your reaction time slowed even a little bit in bad weather.
It's a beautiful sunny 59° day here with just a bit of occasional breeze. it could only be better if I weren't inside at work for most of it.
I bought new tires today, which were about $80 more than I'd budgeted for. I feel compelled to compensate by not eating out at the nice restaurant with the Gyllenhaal-alike waiter this month.
Though my insurance premium did inexplicably go down by $6 this month in the wake of the big $5 grand repair payout. Not a situation I want to draw my agent's attention to by asking questions...

Seriously! And I don't want my bandmates to risk falling while carrying their equipment either. (Or me because I do usually help them!) We are recording in a couple of weeks! (And we already had to reschedule that due to guitarist w/ pneumonia.)
Please be careful, all you ice having people. I hate driving in that stuff. So does everyone around me since I crawl at a snail's pace. I figure it is getting even for all the old folks that come to Florida and drive at half the speed limit. Thankfully I don't have to drive in it very often.
I really hope the block does wonderful things for you ita. Sending thoughts of effectiveness your way.
70 degrees and sunny in Pasadena.
But you know, we're overdue for an epic earthquake, so I am not taunting stormocalypse.
It was beautiful here today. Sunny and chilly, more like fall than spring - I find chilly in spring tends to come with the ick. But not today.
Okay! So apparently a dude was murdered in the building behind ours, and three hot Homicide Detectives came by to question everyone in our apartment building, and I missed it all because I was at the bar.
Um, sorry? I, on the other hand, got home, had another beer, and then remembered at like midnight that I had a seven am conference call this morning.
Re mattresses. My sister and I have the same mattress, about the same age, but for some reason she thinks mine is much more comfortable. Shrug.
I think the big mattress conundrum is that IME they tend to have pretty aggressive sales people, and I've never figured out how you get comfortable enough to actually like down naturally and for a long enough time to get a feel for it in that kind of environment.
That's when you tell the pushy salesperson, "I need you to back off. You're not helping," like the turtle in the Comcast commercial (at first, I hated those ads, but now I find them hilarious).
