It were a long weekend

[mapsedge]

...But a good one.

Sunday I performed with aerie13 at HPF. I've performed for plenty of audiences, but never UP on a stage before, which took some getting used to. The biggest hurdle was a mix-up with our monitors: Lezlie had mine and I had hers, and neither of us could hear ourselves playing. Not such a big problem for L, since she knows her own stuff and (I'm sure) could play it while sleeping, but for myself I had to guess my way through quite a lot of it. Thank God for DADGAD, which is pretty hard to screw up.

A couple other new experiences at HPF:

For the first time in my life I was greeted with the phrase "Holy fucking shit! It's Bill!", which left me feeling absurdly pleased.

I found I have little opinion about public nudity, from either gender, enjoying some, ignoring the rest.

In other news:

The west wall (family room) is completely sided now. YIPPEE. Left: finish around Katie's window.

Yesterday, Monday: did nothing. Mark your calendars.

Excellent. I'm glad that worked out for you.

I had thought for a long time that aerie13 seemed familiar. Then, while going through boxes searching for bits of my life packed away since "The Wagon Train"* I found a cassette tape of hers (I think her first one.) I don't remember how I ended up with it but I recall having met her... possibly at a gig. Which explains the familiarity. Anyway, hi aerie13.

Mmmm... Nuditity**. 'Nuff said.

I have to say that if I were to encounter you in my daily ministrations I would probably exclaim "Holy fucking shit! It's Bill!"***

I didn't even know they let Methodists in, but no one asked for my papers at the various checkpoints...

"Hold on there a minute...are you a Christian, by any chance?"

"I--- uh--- well, I --- um...yes, I mean---"

"Aaaa-ah-ah...you said 'yes'! I heard you!"

Not only do you get the appease the gods, you also get three kinds of Jell-o dessert and at least half-a-dozen chicken noodle casseroles.

And green bean casserole - can't forget the green bean casserole...
