I'm getting excited about the near-term days ahead.
Tonight I had a Scuba Gear rehearsal (last night was and I am Fool rehearsal). It went well. Lots of good things coming there (including a couple of new gigs, one when I get back from LA). I'm enjoying my time with this group a lot.
Tomorrow night I am house bass at a new open mic, at the InsideOut Tavern, where I have also booked gigs for I am Fool and Scuba Gear. And, both bands are coming out to play!
Saturday, both bands have a gig together. It makes sense, because both bands have similarities - both make original alt-rock indie music, with personalized covers - and differences that are pretty complementary.
I reap the benefit of it, getting to play all night, and with a break every fifty minutes (instead of the usual hour-and-a-half to two hours).
Then on Monday, I play with Scuba Gear at a benefit at Midomo NYC, in midtown Manhattan! It will be the first time I've played bass in NYC in many decades. For the friends who show up, it is likely they haven't heard me play in more than forty years; for a few, the first time they've ever heard me play.
I've been thinking about this because the logistics are very uncertain. Originally, I had a gig Sunday night (now I don't), and I thought load out would be after we played. I figured that meant a two-car convoy down to the City the day of the gig, then after, we'd go our separate ways, me to Queens where I felt more secure with my car full of equipment (I'm also responsible for the PA).
New info is that I don't have a gig Sunday and we can probably leave our gear overnight (It's being checked out, but we believe it won't be a problem. Now I have other possibilities. Including everybody traveling down together, or me going in a day early, or staying in Manhattan after the gig. So, I've been thinking...
I have a lot to look forward to, a lot to be grateful for! Life's good!

This is what happens when I eat a lot of carbs and fat (cheese) late at night. I think that's likely what did it.
