stoogeprac

had another good stoogeaphilia rehearsal last night in preparation for our 6th street live debut next thursday, august 30th. ray sez the 6th street gig is timely, since our pizza-'n'-beer fund is about depleted.

matt still resists my "kinkophilia" idea, while sir steffin sez he's "not playing much": besides the stoogeband, just pablo -- whose final wreck room appearance will be this sat'day, august 25th, when i'll be at the symphony with my sweetie diggin' mahler's 9th -- recording with bobby zanzucchi, and rehearsing with the reunited bindle. (i just figured out that the words tony diaz mutters in "robot" when he sounds like he's praying are actually from shakespeare's sonnet 18, duh.)

jon teague's busy with great tyrant stuff and getting ready to visit cleveland in october; figure we'll try booking another stoogegig at the end of november with a run of three or four rehearsals beforehand to learn more new material. for now, we've got a new set opener, as well as a toon which may require raymond to wear some stage makeup. seems like evabody's more enthused about this project since our rehearsal-to-gig ratio went up.
