So last week on March 21st DR had a show with a few local bands at the Rock Pile East in Scarborough Ont., this marks our 3rd show of the year thus far. The turn out was a little disappointing for a Friday night but we still made the best of it. A few speed bumps along the way such as Jorge breaking a string half way through the set and my bass sound cutting out most of the night kept us on our toes. The show must go on and it did. The crowd was rowdy for its size which kept the overall energy high as we played our set. Now for the fun stuff. My band mates though it would be a good idea to embarrass me on stage while using the cover of my up coming birthday on March 24th. They had my nephew Dylan who was in attendance come on stage and grab my bass out of my hands all while wearing a long haired wig and toque mocking my usual off stage appearance. Pink butterfly wings, a tiara and pomp poms came out of thin air and magically found their way on to my body. (those prick bastards used my daughter as leverage in convincing me to put that shit on) once my shame was at an all time high they got everyone in attendance to join in and help sing a heavy metal version of Happy Birthday. YAY FUCKING ME! the only highlight was the shot of Jag I had after this ordeal was over. Thank you Megan. Anyways we finished up our set and called it a night. All in all a good night.
REVENGE will be mine. You can bet your balls on that folks.
At least one opportunity has been confirmed. We have a show booked for Aug 1st with "The Agonist" in Toronto. Just so happens to be 2 days away from Jorge's b-day. I will have something planned, rest assured and it will be something to see. I envision dancing Midgets and......... I have said too much. Jorge watch the fuck out and the rest of you (Marco and Nelson) are not off the hook either.
On a side note the Maple Leafs finally won a game last night after losing 8 straight and watching their Playoff hopes go down the shitter :)> there still is a chance but a small one at best. Go Leafs Go !
Side note # Deux
We have the foundations of a new song completed and a few riffs ready for a second one. Feels good to be writing again.
Till next time.
Jeff
