another wild Saturday night
It’s a little odd to be home on a Saturday night. But the weather in Kansas City is so shitty this weekend that pretty much everything got canceled. It’s actually not that bad to drive in as long as you are careful, but since the band is pretty much a tool for the club to sell alcohol, it’s just as well that we aren’t playing. Except for the money….
Anyway, I’ve been working all week on the upcoming 4 Sknns reunion gig. Here’s the poster. The CD materials are at the printer, the discs are being replicated, the DVD is in progress, and rumor has it there is a banner and t-shirts in the works. Yikes! Pretty scary for a band that never even had an official photo.
Oh, yeah, there’s a website as well. But I won’t post the URL until there is actually something there. I need to get some paying work done in the meantime.
In the midst of going through all these materials, I actually found some shots of Everyday People. Speaking of bands with no pictures. From the clothes everyone is wearing, it was actually a 4 Sknns gig in 1992, but I think Guido went away for a set and Sharon sat in to do some of our fabulously uncommercial songlist. Anyway, here’s a pic of all four of us, and another of Gary, Richard, and Sharon. While I’m at it, because my ego knows no bounds, I’ll post this pic of me, just because I hadn’t seen it until last week and I think it’s a nice shot. Especially considering what I look like these days :-)
So, there you go. As for me, I think it’s time to enjoy a sophisticated adult beverage. Since I’m not driving.

You. Are. SO. Cute.
Even in tie-dye.

I went out Saturday night, and of the several possibilities it came down to who's still playing, and, given the weather, where do I want to drive to.

Awww, thanks, Wife! Actually, I think it was batik, but who knows? I stole the shirt from Sharon.
Ellen, I'm amazed anything was open. There was no traffic on the streets. Actually, some friends were being inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame that night, but it would have been insane to try to drive to Lawrence. As much as I would have liked to have seen them play.

Well, the Nace Brothers were playing at Ameristar, at Depot 9. That was open. I did call first. (Not that I doubted if they were open, but to make sure the band made it and were playing.) The roads getting there (from KCK) weren't bad. The freezing drizzle was a little annoying.
