Yes there will be something going on at El Five tonight, but the drummer who's been a no-show won't be there. I heard from LT last night that "He that is called Brian" is from a primarily copy band mentality, and not too serious about original content... if at all.

Whelp, off to L-5, hopefully the auditionee actually does show up for a change.

Yeah, I really did take a badly need nap during chemo today since I was at L-5 last night manning the recorder during an audition for another, more straight-ahead style of drummer.
