This week has been nutz for me so far. I've been having to get up at 3:30 am (more like 3:44 after hitting "snooze" a couple times.) I'm getting up so early in order to attend a class that's being taught virtually on-line, in real time. Talk about living in the future! Ahh the sweet (in)convenience of technology.

So my coffee free month is almost over. I feel fine. Actually, after the first couple weeks I feel better in the morning now and am debating if I even want to start drinking that stuff ever again (I'm sure I will). It's all about self-discipline. I almost caved in a couple times. I'm glad the coffee at my works sucks, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.

Finches show



The Finches sandwich was great last weekend. I could have done without the Mantles in the middle... the midddle...the the the...middle. Nice folks and all, but for me, live, they sound like a bunch of high-school kids just forming a band, who write songs while "jamming", but they are most likely in their mid/upper 20s, so I have no patience. Sorry.

Luckily the Finches were in full form, playing two sets and selling the new CD. I picked that up and the LP version of their last album which contains an extra song from the CD format, and a cool silk screen print hidden within'.

The Fools Foundation finally seemed to have gotten a clue about their lousy acoustics and put up some drapes around the perimeter to prevent the notorious echo...the notorious echo... notorious echo... echo... echo...

Next weekend will be a live show extravaganza. Knock Knock at Delta Venus and Sic Alps at Fools Foundation...all on Saturday. I bet I could catch both bands!

(sorry I've been up since 3:0am)
