(got up at 9am and smoked the final bowl)
(got me back into productive mode)
(especially when mixed with the last of the american spirits)
(then i got horny + lazy)
(rubbed one out + ate peanut butter with cheerios)
(arv was able to hit me up with a cat smiley face)
(i said i would be at the library around noon)
(i headed out sometime after noon)
(i saw the beautiful brunette librarian but again she wouldn’t even look at me)
(i wonder if she checked out the music site)
(or just labeled me a drunk smelly schizo)
(arv interrupted me when i had 20 minutes left)
(a reunion of sorts)
(he told me that jackie would drive us to the court tavern open mic)
(we walked back to the room)
(stopped at mcdonalds)
(he picked up some drums and headed back to burning tree)
(i took a nap until jackie arrived @ 6:30pm with arv)
(awkward reunion)
(because i had defriended her)
(and never paid her for the keyboard)
(we parked near court tavern)
(i replaced the high E string on electric guitar)
(because matt bernard cut the strings too short)
(and it fell out when i tried tuning the string at arv’s pad)
(i also replaced a G string right before we played)
(i was fortunate enough to have an extra pair of electric strings)
(i was about to use an acoustic string)
(“it’ll sound really bright”)
(nobody else was playing electric guitar)
(signed up with britney behind the bar)
(she said we’d go on at 9:15pm)
(it was ~7:30pm)
(we actually went on ’round 10:30pm)
(“4 songs”)
(though she should really give a time limit)
(met cheryl and her friend joe)
(cheryl lives in a new brunswick apartment)
(joe is from clark)
(are they dating?)
(i forget what he does)
(cheryl was very flirtatious)
(half spanish / half italian)
(her tits are enormous)
(other than that i didn’t make any real connections)
(big black soundgirl: “ronette”?)
(i used the house cord)
(plugged guitar straight through PA)
(arv requested a mic midway through the set)
“helter skelter –> born on the bayou –> take me to the river”
“tuss –> from cork to county mayo”
“with a little help from my friends”
“let it charge –> missed opportunities”
“she’s a woman”
(beatles / CCR / al green)
(very mccartney-influenced set)
(i wanted to open with “fountain of youth –> black magic woman”)
(the guitar sound was thin)
(and went out-of-tune in spots)
(arv’s drumming was off in spots)
(he admitted he was nervous)
(and drunk)
(he got on my nerves at points)
(i should announce the covers)
(arv messed up the facebook link)
(i forgot to tell the audience that we had CDs for sale)
(joe took a CD (but didn’t have any money of course))
(my voice was in good form)
(britney in the middle of “she’s a woman”)
(i assumed we had a noise complaint)
(“call the cops!”)
(make banter about my pharmaceutical drug of choice)
(and arv almost getting into a fight with a diner @ the vegan joint next door)
(bummed cigarettes outside)
(drank the rest of the majorska vodka)
(in arv’s blue bag)
(mixed with orange crush)
(inside the bar)
(and arv + jackie bought me PBRs for $4)
(and i grabbed a floater autumn beer)
(i need to book another slot @ court tavern)
(i thanked britney for booking us @ rail house)
(and she seemed confused)
(i smoothed it out with her later)
(we packed all the drums into jackie’s car)
(i also brought my acoustic guitar)
(we drove back to jackie’s house to get stoned)
(she told me to apologize to her mother for “being a drunken fool”)
(back in january)
(but her mother was already asleep by the time we got there)
(we smoked out of her fancy bowl)
(arv was being a drunken fool this time)
(swinging a huge branch in her backyard)
(i was afraid to use her computer in case she was reminded of the keyboard spill)
(but i eventually relented when she went to sleep round 4am)
(she wanted arv in her bed)
(i slept on her basement couch)
(very comfortable)
(but i didn’t sleep much)
(arv was making loud glottal noises for much of the night)
(i also smoked her e-cigarette)
(we were up @ 8am)
