Asking for Bigfoot

I got a lot of cool stuff for my birthday. It was one of those birthdays where you can ask for pretty much whatever you want. I asked Bill for voice lessons and he came through. I am enjoying them more than you can imagine. My teacher is Jess Baldwin, who also happens to be our fabulous keyboard artist and singer in the Orangutangs. Once I got over the thought that I’d be singing pop songs in front of my voice teacher, which took about five minutes, everything was cool. Singing with Jess is like having a rocket booster behind me. She lifts me higher.

We sing this Friday at the Marietta Brewing Company, 9-2. Yeah, 2. Which means we fall into bed around 4:30, after packing up all the equipment and driving the half-hour home. But we've been rehearsing like crazy and we are ready, Eddie.

In Southeast Ohio parlance, I’m all ate up.



I also specifically asked for this item, and I did not get it. I don’t understand why. It’s only $98.95. Maybe it’s because the idea of a Bigfoot sculpture that is only 28 ½” tall is inherently ludicrous.
To quote Spinal Tap's manager, it is in danger of being trod upon by a dwarf.

Well, sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for. Have a great weekend. I plan to be on for half of it, comatose for the other half.
