Rock and Roll

I played my first full gig in a while last night downtown at GT's. The students were back partying in full force spending all their xmas cash on booze before they have to buckle down and attempt to pass some courses. The band i'm currently playing with, The Tribbianis, like to play some solid rock stuff. We ran the spectrum from some old G N' R, Alice in Chains and some Twisted Sister up to newer stuff like the Foos, Weezer and Queens of the Stone Age. Some fun stuff to drum for sure. The band also loves me since i'm into a self-imposed "dry January" so they get to split the bar tab 3 ways instead of 4. I'll probably be fired once i start drinking again. :) You don't realize how boring a bar scene really is (between sets when you're not playing) until you are standing sober amongst a teeming mass of drunks. Thank god for the salvation of getting back on stage and rocking it out a bit. Closed out with a couple of good sing-alongs to the bar classics Wanted Dead or Alive and of course the Canadian bar staple, New Orleans is Sinking. Kids go nuts for that shit. When all is said and done we actually get paid for that mayhem so it's all good! Long live rock and roll.

if it's not a "romantic comedy" it's not up my mom's movie alley. even though she knew the basis of the film she went anyway and left my dad there a half hour into to go xmas shopping. crazy stuff!
