So I played Dundas Square today, which was pretty fun, except for when I said "Sing it, Kate Moss" (referring to one of the jumbo-trons advertising Rimmel eyewear) during an instrumental part, distracting myself with the uncool joke, and unfortunately messing up the chord changes a little. Nice people running the shows there, in DS.

It was slightly chilly but overall, nice to be outdoors. In fact, this summer I'm going to do a lot of practicing sideline to the garden I will be growing. I'm going to take my headphones and practice some killer riffs while watching the birds and crazy people.

Speaking of crazy people, there was a crazy animal attacking some poor, innocent and whimpering animal outside my house while I was trying to sleep last night. The one animal sounded like a werewolf or some sort of blood sucking monster, and was being all snarly to the saddened cry of the other. Eventually the whimpering died down, but not before I tried scaring the monster away by yelling one quick word out the window. I know, lame, but this thing sounded so insane, that I was scared to take a step out of the house to try to break up the late night street brawl in the lurking shadows.

The saxophones and clarinets have now been recorded for the album. Trent Reschny came in and did a fantastic job of playing ALLLLL the parts set out for sax and clarinet. Now there's talent! I was excited when he agreed to play for our show on August 28th at the Rivoli. Should be awesome having him and Ben Bowen on trumpet, along with the usual gents.
