We’re out on the road again, if not travelling extensively. I think I’m officially getting sick of being in Maryland, of knowing the streets and highways, and the unpredictable weather. At least we’re off to Ohio in two weeks.
Ice cream trucks drive by as I write this, Octopussy playing in the background. We played the Austin Grill in Silver Spring last night – a first for us. The open mic was run by Mike Holden, a friend from Northern Virginia. The food was great, but the ambience wasn’t anything to be spoken of – the sound system was nice, but there weren’t many performers to take advantage of it. I’m still trying to get the hang of my new Tacoma – I eventually borrowed another performer’s Taylor to finish up our set. I just keep running into circumstances where I haven’t practiced with the baritone enough, and I worry that I maybe should’ve just bought a regular guitar… but I can’t bring myself to take it back. I’ve almost finished a new song on it, and really, that’s the clincher.
