Live at Trieste – Second Show

“studio” and “stdio” are just one letter apart.

Coincidence? I think not…

Yesterday was a rough day. I had a huge bug coming down from “on-high” if you know what I mean, and everything in my normal day-to-day software project broke all at once.

Hectic is putting it lightly.

But, I got it done. And quick, once I had the right tools.

So, to reward myself, on a whim, I went out and bought a PA system.

I ended up buying a pair of JBL JRX115‘s, a Crown XLS 402, and the required SpeakOn cabling.

It just got a whole lot louder around my apartment (complex).

I is a happy boy.

Hey Everybody – I’ve “finished” mastering the latest show, and the mp3s are now officially online.

We played for about 95 minutes, for a total of 19 songs, with a handful of original jams! Covers are marked with parens containing the original artist.

We rocked out so hard, I snapped a string on my guitar on the last note of All Along the Watchtower – good timing!

Enjoy!

My Boo and I went fishing today on a whim. We went and bought our Bay-Delta stamps (even though we didn’t actually need it), headed over to Lexington Reservoir, and started fishing for trout and bass.

I tried various flies (was fly fishing), from a grasshopper, to a bubble bee, to a minnow, to an elk-haired caddis fly, with no luck at all – not even a strike.

Athena, on the other hand, thought she had a snag hooked on the other end of her Krocodile lure — at least until it started moving sideways on her!

She landed a nice, 14″ Large Mouth Bass – her first fish ever! Very nice! (And very tasty, too!)

All in all, the scenery around Lexington Reservoir wasn’t very good, but spending the second half of Sunday fishing with my Boo was downright bad ass – especially since she caught our dinner for us! Everything we ate tonight was locally grown, even our fish!

Kick ass!
