Lame sauce!

So, my guitarist flipped out and quit the band. We had some gigs coming up soon and he refused to play them. If'n that weren't enough, he ended our friendship, too. At least I got some good recordings out of it. Heh, had to show is "power" by deleting the band website.

The drummer and I are still on great terms and might try something after we take a little break from things.

On top of all that, I injured my knee and can't do a whole lot of biking for a couple more days. Next week my work schedule is pure crap and I'm having some saddle (bike) issues.

I thought my computer was gonna die yesterday, then almost got hit by a truck...........yikes.

Upside, you and the drummer are still tight. That's worth a lot!

Very much so!! We might eventually start up another fusion project. We knew that there were going to be problems when our guitarist started acting really lame, but I was amazed with his scorched earth policy.

Nothing was ever registered. He ran the myspace page and demolished it. Just thought it was kinda funny he did this to feel good.

Sure, chronologically, but how old is that is guitard years? 8-12 I suspect.


Just hang it there, and keep an eye of for black cats, and ladders.

True dat. Sadly, a gig and a few recorded tunes is about as far as he ever goes before someone upsets him. My gut tells me he's going to hang it up now.

I think my 3rd problem is that I'm gonna get squashed on an upcoming time trial (bike race). I was injured on my week off and really only have about 1-2 opportunities for a decent ride and 1-2 chances for a sprint, weather permitting due to my horrible work hours. I'm working 6 days in a row, 5 12 hour shifts and one 8. @#%@^#%$^#$%&#%^*!!!
