Headed out to iQuit at Rogue Buddha by myself last night. Turned out to be a good decision. My ulterior motive was to meet the curators and pimp out Low Orbit, as playing a low-key gallery show to get ourselves back into gigging mode would be just lovely for us- and our screaming droves of fans.

Ran into Molly, who I haven't seen in quite a while. She abetted my ulterior motive fabulously, knowing the folks personally who run the show and introducing me. Turns out the main guy who curates it is something of a kindred spirit- UofMN alum and tenor player (we even had the same sax teacher, though not at the same time) and he also loops his sax with a phrase sampler and couples it with beats and loops from a laptop, along with a live drummer. Pretty nifty. Despite the similarities, pretty stylisticly divergent from what I do.

Anyway, passed off a demo and it was met with interest. Hope that turns into something; I'd really love to play out again.

Also realized I'd wanted to see the visual art that's showing there now anyway, so that was a nice bonus.

I came home in a much better mood than when I left.

Then S4 and I went for a late-night grocery store run, delighted in finding that Cub has an entire aisle devoted to Asian food, and bought many more things than we'd planned on. Yay food.

This morning, I managed to get up to work on music. I gave myself just enough time to not finish troubleshooting. This is an effective strategy for getting me back in the studio, as now I have all day plus yoga time to wonder why the hell things are doing the things they're doing, and it will bother me until I get back in there and sort it out.

I still need new cables.

The end.

the prepackaged indian food at cub is surprisingly good too.

...the visual art that's showing there now anyway...

those're neat; wish they had the prices online.

They're prints, so they're not horribly expensive, if memory serves, most around $300-600. You could email 'em and find out for sure, though. We know Nick, the gallery owner, from when we'd have rollicking good parties in the basement of the old location. He's a good guy who makes some nice work himself; his place is somewhere I'd happily spend money (if I had an art budget above what I'll spend so I can make it myself...) info@roguebuddha.com
