Hey all! No excuses for not blogging, but anyway... Never moved into a place of my own yet. My brother is buying the house next to him and I'll be moving in there before September. I need to find a roommate before then. Rent being $325 a piece / a month. Cool house: wooden floors, screened front porch, half finished basement, 2 bedrooms. I'm dreading putting an ad in the paper and then having to interview a bunch of freaks. I've never really had any problems with complete strangers moving in, so I'm sure this will work out.
A band is slowly forming together here in Indy. I absolutely cannot calm myself down about it. I am totally siked. It's been about 4 years or so for me and I am way looking forward to it. It's a loose net of people who can come and go as they please, but I'm hoping everyone enjoys it enough to hang out and attend the one practice a week schedule. Jim S. is going to be doing most of the guitar stuff and we have a friend of mine Paul Arnone on the Bass, and a friend of mine's boyfriend from work, named Jeff, who seems to be in the right creative song workshop mode that I consider myself to be in. Official practice probably won't begin until I can set up the studio in the basement of the new house, but I'm sure we'll get together a few times before that to hammer out details and begin work on learning parts to songs.
I just put in for my vacation down by John Shannon in Palm Beach Shores for the week of Halloween. If anyone wants to join me, they are welcome. I've reserved a 1 bedroom for 4 at the Radisson there. I believe it is Saturday to Saturday, with Halloween in the middle somewhere, but I'll have to check my calender. It's still beautiful at that time of year there and all water and beach activities are still going on. It's a mighty spiffy resort too, so there is tons of stuff to do.
