have I begged enough yet?
Show! Tonight! 8:30! Eagles' Club in St. Paul! Please be there so that somebody will be. *angst*
Other upcoming shows in case you miss this one:
Friday, October 2: The Coffee Grounds, Falcon Heights MN, 7p.m., acoustic with peloria's band Napatree
Saturday, October 3: Twin Cities Pagan Pride, 3 p.m., in some sort of freeimprov-less configuration
Booking more shows is just one of the 2839748937 other things I need to work on this weekend, but the first step for that is talking to my bandmates at the show tonight to see what their availability is like. I *really* need a booking agent *bad* because I'm running out of both contacts and the energy needed to find any new ones while also being bandleader in an artistic sense. I've realized recently that I only have time and energy to either be moving the band forward creatively or advancing the band in a business sense - I can't do both at once. And we've pretty much exhausted the backlog of already written good songs and we do want to release a new record again someday, so... If anybody here can help me out with this in whatever way, please let me know.
Anyway, TV!
Survivor is going to suck this season if Foa Foa doesn't wise up and get Russell H and Ben out of there ASAP. It irritates me that Russell found the idol, and I don't like him or his gameplay in the slightest, but the guy does have a sort of fiendish intelligence about him that you have to admit is working out well for him. Ben on the other hand is just letting it all hang out - useless to the tribe and the double whammy of racism and sexism. Yasmin made a terrible call in how she behaved while at Foa Foa, but Ben's response to it was absolutely beyond the pale. And it sucks that all the smart, well-behaved people are getting voted out in favor of assholes. )c:
So uh yeah remember the part where I was saying eight months ago that it looked like they were setting up Dean to be in the angel army and Sam to be in the demon army and pitting them against each other and how it was going to suck and none of you believed me? I frakking TOLD you guys so. And I am still displeased. I loved Sam again this episode and I think it speaks volumes that the character can still be so strong and wonderful even with the writers and half of fandom arrayed against him. But I hate Castiel being written as Sam's replacement, and I hate Dean saying that he's happy Sam is gone because he has more fun with Castiel (though I did get a bit of a vibe that he was trying to convince himself of that fact, at least). This is basically my worst fears for the show being realized now. )c: I am really still pulling for them to turn this thing around, but I'm out of faith in that now.
I also gave the CSI premiere a try and I have to admit that I am not quite ready to give that show up yet after all. Damn you cliffhangers!
I think that's it for now...please do come to the show, I could use some musical reinforcement lately, I think.
