Band practice, spaghetti, and tomato intoxication

It’s hard starting up as a small band. Recently our practices have been going late into the night. I’m getting better on guitar, Will is doing fine on the drums (and singing), and our search for a bass player continues. Last night after about 2 hours (from 10 to midnight) my eyes hurt from reading the music. My ears hurt from listening to Drewbertt attempting to sing.

Under my beanie my head itched. I’m not sure if that was Danny’s super stiff styling glue which I used to do my hair, or the fact that I washed my hair in their bathroom with hand soap before going to Buca di Beppo. It really looked like gel. Anyways, we are getting better. I need to work on my stage presence. I don’t move the guitar nearly enough and I don’t move my body much either. The road to stardom is long, but it will pay off in the end, and when you see us there on stage pouring our hearts into our music and cannot help but tear up due to the emotion of our performance you will know that it was worth it.


Buca was freaking great! Our menu spread was not anything like unto the gluttonfests of old, but the table was decently covered with lovely tasty Italian goodness. My favorite of the night was the Penne Arrabbiata. Penne in spicy tomato sauce with Italian sausage. Freaking amazing. The Fettuccine Supremo was good, but I am not a big fan of the Alfredo sauce over at Buca di Beppo, it doesn’t have enough Parmesan cheese for me. The Chicken Parmigiana was awesome as well. I was a little saddened that we did not get any appetizers, but like I say it was not at all like the trips to Buca of old. The Chocolate Cannoli once again proved to be my favorite dessert. I ended up on a pasta high that lasted about an hour afterwards and brought the night home (until 10 that is) with a little Godfather. Nothing makes you feel the holiday spirit more than watching Michael Corleone dispose of his enemies.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, was my Wednesday night.
