Attack of the Missing Bassists

so... first Justin left the Matches, now Dizzy Balloon's (formerly Panda) bassist is leaving.. or i guess more he is staying and the rest of the guys are leaving.. the panda boys are taking some time off school to tour etc and Garrett has decided to stay at Davis..

on another note about bassists... I met the possible new bassist for the Matches tonight as well as his dad... seems like a cool kid. Have you ever met a band and could just tell style wise and personality wise who played what role in the band?.. Like looking at/talking to Shawn Harris one automatically concludes he is the vocalist. Or Justing, he fit the bassist "type" very well. Well.. I got the bassist vibe from this kid too.. Dylan I believe his name was... anyways.. things are looking bright for the new Matches lineup.


Caught the Elephone cd release show tonight... ironically enough.. I got there just after Elephone's set... I'm kinda bummed about that... but.. scissors for left was great... those boys know how to put on a show.. there was a whole storyline.. and stuff.. at parts it was like a stand up comedy act... but nothing beats a spotlighted slowmotion mock fight. basically there was this whole battle back n forth between scissors and locksley.. and it was quite entertaining.. the music wasn't bad either..
haha

what was learned tonight:
candy bars were once 5 cents...
I am awkward therefore i make faces at people
i can make it from bryant st freeway entrance to ygnacio valley road in walnut creek in 17 minutes WITH freeway construction
and there were a few more life lessons.. probably more important too.. but i just can't remember them right now...


it was a nice evening.


oh and if anyone was wondering...
the spider invasion of my room has ended...
to be honest.. i'm a little sad..
it gave me something to preoccupy myself with when i was up at 4 am n couldn't sleep.
oh well... more su doku for paige i guess..and yes i am that cool.. I am a su doku ADDICT

you know.. thinking back.. between rushing from work to shower change and get into the city by 10... and then getting home at 2... maybe i shoulda eaten dinner..

and i have a scissors for lefty song stuck in my head.. as good as it is... the words "next to argyle" and "Munkeys kill the miserables" really don't need to be repeating in my head...





that is all.



oh... and.... pianos are cool. bring them back.
