I went to hear my band Scuba Gear play tonight.
They were playing with another bass player, because until a few weeks ago I had a conflicting gig. My gig was canceled, the SG gig wasn't.
I really enjoyed it, and then one of those very nice things happened. I had ordered my drink (Jameson's neat) from the friendly bartender who remembered me from other gigs I'd played there, and behind the bar appeared my friend Greg. Greg had worked as a bartender there for the previous owners (it was closed for more than a year, then renamed and reopened a few months ago). He'd just been hired to manage the bar. We had a very happy reunion, caught up a bit. He bought my drink.
It's the people that determine the quality of one's social life. Mine's just fine.
I continued my night with a drive out to Auburn and Moondog's, where the very first band I ever heard live in Syracuse was playing, slightly stripped down and with some subs. I have jammed with every single member of the band (the bass player also plays guitar when he hosts one of the open mics I go to). What fun!
I got a warm welcome at Moondog's, and had a great time, until the drinking tired me out a little. So I bought the band a round and split, happy.
Another end to a good night out.
I went home, stopping to buy some snacks (I was hungry) along the way. I bought a bottle of water, a bag of pork rinds and a Quest bar, and consumed them in the car. Eating made me think of food, and I changed course and went to Wegman's to buy some groceries. Then I stopped for gas.
When I got home, I began thinking about tomorrow's I am Fool plus Scuba Gear gig, where besides playing, I'm doing the sound for the whole thing. I re-read the manual on my new in-ear monitors, and discovered there are three volume controls in the signal path. I decided to check the whole setup tomorrow, early. Then I snacked a bit and watched some TV before going to bed.
I intend to just keep on showing up, grateful.
