Piwo, Push and Pottery
What an excellent weekend. I drove back once again to Massachusetts. Got in Friday around 10ish, just chilled out. Saturday morning I got my hair cut at Jacks, then headed over to St. Stan's for their Polish Fest.
Lenny was supposed to get there around 10, so I got there at 10, brought all my stuff in, helped the people who were setting things up bring in beer and wine from the truck that delivered it (for a nominal fee of free libations of course) and also helped them move some other things around. Lenny still wasn't there, but Estelle and Michelle got there with their pottery so, well, I helped them bring their stuff in. Then, Lenny showed up, and we unloaded and set up the band's equipment.
The gig went pretty well I thought. They had about 600 people there. Ran into some people I hadn't seen in a long time neither which was cool. Getting comfortable was a little tough at first but the last half of the job, things started to settle in. Playing with them was a pretty cool experience. Very laid back, everyone seemed to be having a good time. It was also nice to play with a bass player who actually owns a working GK 800RB (doh, low blow). I definitely wouldn't mind picking some more work up with Lenny at all. I'll have to have my friends call their friends to have their friends make Dave an offer he can't refuse. haha yeah right. It was good times though.
Then on a break I was going to purchase some pottery as the Frenchies up here love it (and I only have the cheapo Christmas Tree Shops stuff). However my Cioci Cynthia beat me to the punch and got me a nice piece. Thanks Cioci :-) .
I also ran into this chick Amber who I used to hang out with in High School. Hadn't seen her in like 7 or 8 years. That was cool. and that's all I have to say about that ( a la Forrest Gump).
Sunday we listened to the recording Dudas made of the job. Came out pretty good. Then I packed my shit up and went to see Eddie Forman. They had a pretty good crowd there. I was hoping to leave around 5 or 6. Well, I stayed until the end, then stopped home, grabbed my bass and the amp, then hit up OTB with Putnam so I didn't get on my way until close to 10. I got into town around 3.
So needless to say, I'm pretty beat.
