New Developments 2: Electric Bugaloo

The second of my travel plans for the year now looks to be concrete. At the end of April/beginning of May I will be going to a conference for work....in Las Vegas! I just booked my room at Madalay Bay this morning. This should be good. Although I do have to attend conference classes and such during the days, it is a 5 day trip to Vegas where all but my entertainment expenses is on the company dime. Can't argue with that.

I got an interesting email this morning from Chris Taylor. It appears that they might be short a guitar player for their cover band soon, and he wanted to know if I wanted to step in. It's something to consider. I occasionally go through the thought process that I might be interested in doing a covers gig, mainly for the cash. But to be honest, I never really want to put in the work in either forming or joining a band from scratch. However, if it's with people I know and maybe a little more low pressure, I could be interested. I'll have to think about this one. The main problem? They rehearse in Haverhill which is a bit of a drive.

Saw Pan's Labyrinth yesterday. No long winded review today. It was pretty sweet. Go check it out.

Had another Craigslist date on Saturday night. It started out gangbusters as there was a miscommunication on where to meet and what time. As such, we missed the movie we were supposed to see and that would have given us at least one thing to talk about. Regrouping, we met over at the Enormous Room in Central Square, which while it is a room, is not enormous. But it is a nice little bar.

At any rate, this girl seemed nice enough, and the conversation was a lot easier than with the first date, but I don't know that I was exactly feeling that intangible "it".

I do have one more potential date lined up through the ad, but it wouldn't be for a couple of weeks, so we'll see if it actually ends up happening. Other than that, I probably won't renew the ad for now. I ran it for a couple of weeks and got a decent repsonse. I'll let this last date happen (or not) as it will and process. I go through phases where I get motivated and then where I'm less so. Less so seems to be coming up.

So, yeah, Lucero's pretty good. I'm now checking out "That Much Further West". This whole alt-country/Americana genre is pretty decent. At least what I've heard so far.
