Saturday is kind of like Friday for me, so it's update time.
This week has been one of ups and downs. It was my thirtieth birthday last Monday, and to celebrate I got treated a to a sushi lunch by my Aunt, and meat sweats for dinner by my wife (in other words a huge piece of perfectly grilled Argentine beef). On the musical front, the band jammed for the first time in ages last Sunday and it was good. I do have trouble getting excited about it, because the others don't have as much time as I do to commit the band as I do.
However, Beware! the Leopard is taking off. The Nord that I wrote about earlier is now in my possession and sounding great. Tomorrow is my first proper solo gig (although still unpaid). I get a 30 minute set at the Phoenix, and I'm pulling out all the stops, Nord, looper, and a cold that won't go away (the microphone will be lucky to get away without any snot on it). My parents will be in the audience for the first time ever, and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Let's just hope the meds I'm on keep the sniffles and coughs at bay for long enough to get through the set.
So that's me. If you're in London, drop on by tomorrow night and say hi, I'll buy you a pint.
