Big eyed fish

Yesterday I took the deck off the mower and cleaned it good. It was a real pain getting it both off, and back on. Man...

Last night we went to a nice little dive bar on Wells St. called Big Eyed Fish and listened to Carrie's boyfriend's band. I love listening to music in places like this. But I can't for-the-life-of-me remember the name of the band. I even put it in my phone so I'd remember it, but my phone is beside the couch and someone is presently sleeping on the couch and I'm not sure who it is. Aaaanyway... it was fun. Drew (the boyfriend) is the singer. I really like his sound. He has a great voice and presence. It was cool seeing him perform, because it's a side of him we've ne'er before seen. And I would imagine he was super nervous - having the girlfriend's parents sitting there and all. But he didn't seem like it - even when the mic didn't work on the first song. They're a fun band. One of those where - they didn't have enough songs to fill the whole time-slot, so they just played them all twice. And nobody cared! :) And they might not be the greatest musicians, but that didn't matter either. They're good enough to have a good time doing what they do and they wanted everyone else to have a good time too. You know, anyone can play an instrument; but not just anyone can help people enjoy themselves. And that's what people were there for. I like that about this band. They certainly had the place hoppin'.

Today it is back to work.

I was not there, so I have nothing to contribute. However, I would like to state for the record that it's not me sleeping on the couch.

Well, there's one name I can cross off the list.

Actually, it was Carrie. But I knew we had at least one guest, and I didn't want them to wake up with me staring into their face trying to figure out who they were. Might have to turn the couch cushion over after that.

That would be hilarious... you could yell "GET OUTTA MY CHAIR, MEATHEAD!!!"
