random stuff

so now i can hear again. to celebrate, my sweetie 'n' i ate dinner at benito's, where i saw frank cervantez of stumptone and his bride doin' the same thang. i reminded him that the stoogeband is playing 6th street live the day before he plays the wreck room with sub oslo (that'd be 8.30 and 9.1, respectively, so actually there's a day in between -- sorry, frank). hopefully we'll be able to tighten up "i'm 18" and get "final solution" playable by then. the great tyrant is opening for sub oslo, so jon teague gets to play both nights.

this friday, we've got a wedding to go to, then we're gonna fall by the wreck to check out p.p.t. and congratulate them on being named "best rap/hip-hop group" in the dallas observer music awards thingy. their idol records labelmates black tie dynasty garnered three, count 'em, _three_ awards in said competition. good onya, fellas.

sunday we're dining at sardines, where esteemed jazz gtrists keith wingate and sam walker will be performing solos and duets as well as sitting in with jhon kahsen's trio. nice to have my ears back to enjoy all this stuff.
