Now the folks here in CA just need to stay up late to hear how the Props go.

…um. Well, there goes another Summer. It sure doesn’t feel like it here in CA. It’s been super hot and muggy these last few weeks. My dog likes the heat and that’s all that matters in life…the dog. =)

So, I had drummer auditions last Saturday. It went REALLY well. Much better than I expected. In the last post I mentioned about nightmare auditions from the past while this time around it was just the opposite. I just had only 4 drummers come out and all could play really well. 2 of these guys really blew me away…so much so that I had no idea which one to use. It’s nice to know I have some options I reckon but I almost wish that only 1 was a good fit to make make the decision a little more cut and dry. 

Off subject, I went to Cher’s house yesterday. I didn’t actually go inside but was inside the gate for a few minutes… the place just smelled like money and looked amazing (from what I saw). And yes, money has a smell. I just wish I smelled more of it in my  own pocket.

Back to the important things in life… so my dog has been losing his baby teeth over the last few weeks. I’ve been finding teeth in the carpet and even pulled a loose fang right out his mouth. I see another baby fang about to come out too. Poor little guy….he won’t even play with the frisbee but that’ll change over time.

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Doggy Video but here’s a new one of Vladimir learning to catch a frisbee. He’s also learned this little nifty balancing act on my leg. The video’s not the greatest but it’s a little something to show how the boy has grown.

Other than being Pup Daddy, things have been quiet. I played hockey again last night. Same, same.

As for music? Getting 3 other musician’s schedules to not conflict is like brain surgery. It’s getting to the point where I’m just gonna book the time and place and whoever doesn’t show gets replaced. Of course, this gets to be tricky since it’s not as though they’re making a ba-zillion dollars off me… and trying to replace people is a major pain.

On the bright side, we did work on some new tunes last time and I’m digging the way they were going. Lately, I’ve been trying to focus on more uptempo stuff. Those mellow depressing slow tunes come way too easy… I’m sure there’s a reason for that.
