nostatic at all...

day 2 (or is it 3?). Yikes...

A trip to the ortho, and he pulled out the big needle to drain the knee. About 100 mls...fun stuff. At least it wasn't as bad as the methylene blue test...

Was supposed to sit in and do a few Steely Dan tunes, but instead ended up playing 2 (or was it 3?) sets. Far worse ways to spend a Friday night...though my knee would have preferred a bit quieter evening.

After a late night gig Friday, noon rehearsal Saturday, a 10:45am downbeat (!) with PIF. No real complaints though...the usual semi-chaos punctuated with appreciated audiences. Ended the day at the VA hospital. Certainly appropriate on the 4th.

Another pair of gigs, this time in Torrance. Getting it down to a science, with the big variable always being parking. Where's the teleportation thing when you need it?

Bum knee and all, tonight the "talent" for a video documenting the tai chi fighting set in class. If only I could get a decent stance...but thankfully the product won't be for public consumption.

All I can say is Karate Kid is no Kung Fu Hustle.

Argh. Why do I get the personnel related emails at 6pm on a Friday?

A busy day - two PIF gigs in the valley (100+ temps - woohoo!), then to Molly Malone's for a funk gig. Despite a snafu with the flyer (south Fairfax, not north Fairfax), a good crowd though oddly no dancing. Oh well. Used the Deep 5 the whole gig - not the "right" thing to do for funk but when have I ever been right?

no, not the jazz track. Instead tracks from the Molly's gig last weekend.
