1) JP came over last night (drunk, apparently, as he mentioned it a few times during the night), and we got his equipment out of the car & down in the basement. Unfortunately, we couldn't time how long it took us to set up, being the first time we've done this, beucase we didn't have everything we needed/didn't know what we needed. Oh, and would you believe that he forgot one cable, which meant we couldn't use his vocal rig? Ugh. Luckily, I had a microphone cable, so he just plugged in directly to the monitor. We tried playing a few songs, but it was difficult to play with no guitar (just bass & drums), and we each kept getting off-beat. anyway, we got the volumes balanced fairly well with the real drum set, so if we can get JRP to bring his equipment sometime & get him dialed in, I want to go through an entire run; setup, play 3-4 songs, break-down, and time the entire thing.
I will say this though, JP & I had everything "off-stage" within 4 minutes. I think that, even if JRP takes a couple minutes longer, JP & I can help him out & make my 5 minute goal (well, 6 max). After playing a bit, JP came upstairs & we had a beer & I played a little guitar for him, partially to get his opinion on my singing/playing, and partially just to try to get myself comfortable with playing in front of people. I did fairly well, wasn't too nervous, and played well enough, so all in all, it was a decent night.
Oh! and he brought that old table I've been wanting. It's in the garage right now (needs to be cleaned) and once I do that, I'm going to bring it in the house & set up my record player so I can jam to vinyl while working on the kitchen! If I get a chance, I'll post up a picture of it. I still haven't heard back from the guy about the cabinet player - he sent me better pics, asked what I thought, etc. I replied that I dug it and asked where he was located, because I wanted to come check it out. That was maybe a week or two ago!? Fuck him, he must not want to sell it that bad, huh? I'll just keep looking around here.
I had more to write, but I don't feel like getting into it. No big deal just some negative emotional content - I'm sure I'll live... ;-)
