Do these glasses make me look like a bastard?

So it's almost the end of the year. A time of reflection I suppose. Also getting drunk. Maybe I'll have done both by the end of this post.

Christmas has happened. I had a good time with the folks leading up to the 25th then came back to SF and did stuff with my friends. It was all good times. My birthday happened too. Went out celebrating last night in fact. Went to Edinburgh Castle and the power went out. We were sitting in the dark by candlelight just drinking and eating our fish and chips. It was pretty cool actually. Then they had to kick us out 'cause the power wasn't coming on any time soon.

This past year has been... good I guess. There were some great moments and some weird moments and a few downright shitty moments, but the good more than likely outweighs the bad.

Highlights of this year (good and bad) include:

- Playing Slims with LS.
- Recording with LS.
- BAMC with Matt
- Halloween
- Halo: Reach coming out
- The falling out of LS
- Me "Ted-ing out"
- Run Amok getting back together
- A date ruined due to a fucker on the MUNI
- Meeting the dag back home

This list could probably go on, but suffice to say: it's been an eventful year. Maybe I'll do a new years resolution thing, maybe not. In any case, have a good one yeah?

BTW, post title is from The IT Crowd. Funny as hell comedy from those darn Brits.

KIMO'S: a recap

Man, another gig where I was sick. Had a blast though. Good times.

I was hoping to get over whatever I had by yesterday, or at least yesterday evening when I had to go. Sadly, not the case. I woke up a bit snotty and went off to class. Came back after getting some work done on campus (internet was down in the apartment last few days) and made a call to comcast to get a tech guy out here. Xander gets home and I'm still taking it as easy as possible.

When it finally came time to go, I took some Robitussin and headed to the space to grab my gear. Megan came along 'cause she needed a ride. We met Matt at the space, we grabbed our stuff and headed to Kimo's (Bar and Penthouse Lounge) for our gig with The Golden Path and Love Infinity.

Ok, first of all, the sound in Kimo's is pretty nice. The woman working sound knew her stuff, and the mix seemed decent for all three bands. As for me, I was still pretty sick. I hoped to feel better by the time we got on, and while the cold medicine helped, my head was still a bit foggy. I got some advil in me and I did feel better. Had a pint too.

So after the two bands, it was our turn, and I think we rocked it most righteously. We got Sal from The Hacks to play a song with us and he went kinda nuts and kicked over a monitor then started jumping on it. The sound woman got really pissed at him. Turned out alright though. The booking agent for Kimo's asked us back, and we made $25 bucks as a band last night.

We should have pics up soon, maybe video, so check out the facebook or maybe BAMCSF.com for the goods. Fun night A+++ would rock again.
