This week was pretty busy.
Friday i had a date with the girl deni. It was a success considering everything to get to that point was very stressful. I had no clue what to do, or where to go to eat. We ended up eating at some sushi place called monster in manhattan. It was a bit dorkier than they told me, but the food was good and she was a dork too so it didn't matter hahah. Nah she was a good sport, we laughed, we had fun.
Saturday was auditions number one. basically nobody showed up except for this bass player we were talking to named matt delehaye. He was very good, and suprised the both of us. The rest of the time we spent practicing for our acoustic gig on sunday. We also played with steven's band Dr Soll and the squids. We ate at the barbeque joint across from funkadelic and it was very much not good, but the girls that worked there were cute and friendly. We met some nice yugoslavian guys there too.
That night i met up with dave zingis and You'll never guess what happened. We got overly drunk. Really? Really. one minute i was at the bar coastal in 78th and 2nd and the next i was all the way up at 204th street at inwoods. What the hell? I got super wasted and tried to talk to some drunk chick who wanted to be a librarian but for some reason i couldn't understand why she wanted to be one, and i also tried to sing confessions part 2 by usher but failed miserably. So then i randomly got a cab back to steven's where sean stayed. I tried to say hi to him but he was high and grumpy and verbally harrassed me. I was gonna go to bed so i tried turning the tv off, but i ended up unplugging the whole tv setup steven and his roomates had. Then i Woke up, the next morning still drunk and ended up grumpily arguing with sean and steven about stupid crap. There was no bad blood or deeper issues the issue was...we were all just grumpy and felt like crap.
Sunday we got bagels and forgot to pick steven up. Steven got mad, but met up with us anyways. So again nobody showed up except for a kid named joe, and he was nice guy and an alright guitar player, but not what we were looking for. We also spent the rest of the time in the studio practicing for our gig that night.
Our gig was at the 169 bar east broadway in china town. The bar was a small, funky place, WITH A POOL TABLE AND FREE SUNFLOWER SEEDS! This bar was built for leaving london i swear to god. So we drank some beers, played some pool, and ate some seeds. We invited some people on facebook, but honestly we didn't think i twas going to be a big deal if we didn't bring 10 people-but it was. We argued with the owner for 20 minutes about why he should let us play even though we didn't bring 10 people, somehow we managed to convince him to let us play 2 songs. We played and they wanted more, and then we played until we didn't have any more songs. It was a real triumph for leaving london, and definitely lifted our spirits for a bit. The owner loved us and wants us back, so we promised him we'll be back with 10 people.
Matt the new bass player came and hung out with us. So we went to baker street and got some dinner and drank some more beers. We talked about music and women late into the night. We ended up asking to be in the band, and we couldn't be happier with his choice. Though the only concern is if he can end up living in the united states, since he still lives in buenos aires argentina. He also needs to find a job and a place to live. So there are still many obstacles in our way.
I went to the gym tonight and when i got back into sean's driveway i got out of the car only to be cheap shotted above my eye by the car door. I have a nice sexy cut underneath my eyebrow-great.
Still waiting for a call from fuse, but my friend linda is taking care of it. She rocks.
peace and love,
-Michael Michael
