Hobbit Chotch
And other great band names
It's been a really awesome weekend. Josh was in town, and we hung out with pretty much all the friends we have at some point or another, so it was productive and a blast. So, now I'm exhausted, but you know what? It was worth it. I even got to hang out with my cousin Mat, whom I don't usually see outside of Christmas and/or Easter celebrations with the family. So, that was really cool too.
I am so freakin' excited. The Great Fall may have finally found the drummer for which it's been looking! We met with a friend of a friend of John's today, whose name was Tyler... and it was freakish how quickly he picked up on the songs we played. He really got a feel for the style right away, and could tell the changes as they were happenning. He did some really cool fills and added a hell of a lot to the sound. I really really hope he wants to be in the band... we were sorta feeling each other out (out, not up) and we certainly liked him, so hopefully he'll like us just as much. I got a good vibe from the kid, so maybe he'll stick with us and we can get this shit picked up again. I didn't know I'd miss Zack as much as I did. Time to get some new gigs methinks. I would LOVE to play Mr. Smalls again. Even just having professional microphones and sound equipment was totally worth it. It was freakin' great. Ah well.
I think I need to go to bed. I never quite recovered from the weekend, so it's time to do that now.
Woot.
