Proceeding as planned

Rehearsals for "The 'Awesome' Cycle" coming up at ACT are going well so far. 
This week, we refined a few song ideas based on a little process we like to call Kunjabunja, we learned some songs from a little musical we like to call Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, we drank some beer, we created some more of the aforementioned Kunjabunjas (NOTE: more focus equals better 'bunjas), Basil had a hard time with bass solos, John didn't see a doctor for his malaria or whatever, we talked about how we need a retreat and won't have time for one in '08, we learned how actually easy it was to play steel drums, John A was missed, we practiced harmonies, Rob was a great rehearsal captain, songs that have Cobra and Forest in the title are winners, Trader Joe's spinach and feta mini-pizzas make a good dinner two nights in a row and Kirk broke his car but got it fixed the next day for $40. 
























(John O celebrating the temporary fix of Kirk's car. Or maybe he's just always happy. Could be either.)

More things we did I just remembered: We decided to play more real-estate rock (mortgagecore), we played fast and loose with the concept of "on time to rehearsal", we decided that real-estate rock was out of style, we borrowed tape and a flashlight from Pete to fix Kirk's car.

Dude, SHHHHHHH! Christ. I don't go around telling everyone how easy it is to be a 7-piece art rock band, do I?
