Sonofabitch it’s been too long since updating this. Here goes.
I did some more waterski tournaments, and skied ok in some of them, traveled way too far for one of them. My camera got stollen at the UCDavis tournament, that sucked. But on the bright side, I now have a very legitimate reason to hate California(ns)!
The UO Waterski Club is all approved and such, with partial funding even. Got probably 25 sign ups so far, should be a lot of fun once things get rolling, er boating, er… you get the idea.
Spent the afternoon Tuesday getting parts for my ski, my bike (including spokes– which came with spoke-nipples– which explains the title here), and being indecisive about a guitar tuner. I may need to head to GuitarWorld to check out the prices there. FWIW, I bought an electric guitar from my flatmate’s ex-girlfriend, and am taking guitar lessons this term, yay for fun.
Went to the Go Betty Go!/Voodoo Glow Skulls/Flogging Molly show last night. Go Betty Go! was excellent. I hadn’t head anything from them before the show, but I really dug their set. The only way I can think of to describe them is “all female punk band”.. and damn good at it. Who do voodoo I don’t. *shrug* The Voodoo Glow Skulls did put on a good set as well, but I’m just not a ska fan at all. Sorry guys. Then Flogging Molly came on… I’d seen them once before (at Warped Tour ’04 in Minneapolis). They have got to be one of my favorite bands to see live! But come on, Guinness in red plastic cups, wtf?!
