I had an AMAZING weekend.

Saturday
...we played a show in Lubbock at a place called Diablo's Live. There were 4 bands scheduled and we played 3rd. A Darker Shade of Gray was supposed to play, but dropped at the last minute and was replaced by a band called Another Day Undecided. They were really good! They're an instrumental 3-piece with great stage presence and solid musicianship. They weren't all that heavy, but they had some excellent grooves and a really unique style. (They reminded me a lot of my old band in San Diego.) I would love to play with them again!
Our set was amazing! There was a ton of energy on stage and I think it came across really well. We had some people movin' and I think at one point someone did a stage dive..? O.o
It was my first show doing vocals, so I was a bit nervous at first. But all I had to do was glance back at Houston on the drums. That dude has incredible energy. He beams enthusiasm and its highly contagious. Its very rare for a drummer to have good stage presence, but Houston's got it, and it helped me to remember why I was on that stage in the first place. I had a ball! Words cannot really describe how much fun that experience was. The band's chemistry was stellar. We threw down, melted faces, and suprised ourselves I think. I cannot wait to see the video!

Sunday
...was a great day too! Tasha and I got up early and went to grandma Betty's for some stew, followed by a full day of garage-sale hopping. We actually found some really cool stuff! I was kinda suprised. :)
It was a lot of fun spending time with my wife, doing something that gets her excited. I love to watch her face light up when she finds something neat.
We found a cool, new flea-market that, apparently, no one knows is there. Its on the south side of town in a really nice area and they have a bunch of cool things. And its HUGE! From what I gathered, there's not only vendors there, but also people who buy entire estate sales and turn it over. So the inventory is constantly changing. It might become a weekly ritual for Tasha and I to come back and browse the goods.

They had an amazing "birthing" chair from the 1600s(?) that supposedly belonged to French royalty. (Tasha WANTS it.)

OH, and Tasha bought some mannequin legs! She's in the process of painting them weird colors and making them into pieces of art. I love her weird shit!
We ended the day with a pizza and an episode of the office. The day was perfect. Life is good. :)
