stoogeaphilia @ the wreckroom on my b-day
below are a few shots my sweetie took of the stoogeband's probable last stand at el wreck before it closes. a bunch of ppl got together and bought me an amp -- a real nice hughes & kettner, which i'm gonna have to spend some time fooling around with the next time i have a day off -- that i typically didn't notice until lee allen pointed it out to me. i'd plugged into matt hembree's peavey when i got there, then wizard o' sound andre lowered the movie screen while i was out in the bar, and they replaced matt's peavey with the h & k and had andre call us in to soundcheck. first i picked up the paper crane that was sitting on top of the amp. then i picked up the balloons. when lee said, "look _under_ the balloons," i looked at the end of the string. duh. then i noticed the amp. also, thanks to sir steffin for letting me know i was unplugged in the middle of (i think) "tv eye."
'twas the best berfday ever. i may be mr. potato head, but i have the best friends/family in the world. much love and respect to all: jesse sierra hernandez; bill pohl; joe vano; lee and anne allen; carl and tina pack; cameron and chris from merkin; ron "the velvet hammer" geida (12 year friend); "confusajohn" stevens (10 year friend); paul; amy kadleck (#1 stoogeband fan); the central market boyzzz (beau, julio, and dave); aaron; kerry brown; eric harris; sir marlin von bungy; calvin and rat from the asian media crew; natty patty; tony diaz; dan (29 year friend), larry, and kerrie; stoogeaphiles ray, matt, jon, and steffin; dre, linda, and jeffa; riley shaw; dave karnes; aimee, james, amber, and their crew; and my sweetie, of course. and to you, too, if i forgot i saw you (too many tequila shots). y'all made my night real special.
the stoogeaphiles kicked much ass and even broke in a coupla new toons (finally!): opened with the heartbreakers' "chinese rocks" and "my idea of fun" from the weirdness, and played television's "marquee moon" (a showcase for sir steffin to shine in, but also a great rhythmic lock that worked well and felt great to play) mid-set. when we start practicing again in august, we'll be breaking in a coupla pere ubu songs. tammy gomez was gonna come flow verse over the "little doll" feedback meltdown, but we ended too soon (a band enroute from austin to chicago played after us). maybe next time. and i understand scott copeland had his best night in a few weeks. hopefully billy 'n' carl made some money, too.
