What a crazy weekend! It began with a crash, as I got rear-ended on my way to my gig on Friday. Broke my rear bumper. No pain, and my old, scratched-up bumper will be repaired as good as new, so kind of a win-win.

I ended up trying to calm down the poor woman who hit me. I told her, since we're both okay, I hope this is the worst thing that happens to either one of us going forward.

Then on to a very depressing, low turnout gig.

Saturday was spent, as always: lethargically, relaxing. I went to my collision guy, but the appraiser wasn't there. I did some food shopping. I went to see one of my favorite local bands.

Sunday I participated in an "all-star jam", which means it wasn't open to anybody, but I'd been asked to play. Unusual. I was happy to, as it was both a chance to contribute to a charity, honor a bass-playing friend who passed a few years ago, and sit in with some wonderful musicians who I get to play with very rarely. I had a very good set.

Then, after dinner, I had a long set at one of my standard open mics, after which I found out it had  started to snow. I decided to let attending the second of my regular Sunday night jams slide.

Despite a very rocky start to the weekend, I stayed frosty, had quite a lot of fun, and came out fine on the other side, ready to begin a new week at a collision shop getting a damage estimate for my car.

Nicely bookending the weekend. Staying cool.

I, like the Dude, abide.
