That's great to see, so the new line-up is working out?

I drove them pretty hard wih once a week rehearsal for the past 7 months now, tried to burn the music into their heads, we played on 5/19, 5/20 and it went reasonably well. Our guitarist has some gear issues to sort through, but otherwise the music was fine and we had rehearsed to point of needing to just go out and play some shows to take the next steps as a band.
We're at it 6/3 in Burien very near the place we had dinner at when you visited.

Great finish on that bass. Very cool looking.

It'll never fit.

That headstock alone will take real conviction and perseverance.

Batteries, not just for pu$$*** anymore!

Adds a whole new angle for choice of tuners.

I'm just trying to brighten things up a bit, not quite so much black clothing on stage - plus it was a sunny day as well. We were pushed for time after sound check and I ended up wearing my tennis shoes on stage that day, no a bad thing either as it was laced with cords and heels would have been hazardous to health.

Now, if you'd only give up that train collecting thing, you could be a good normal person!

The sneakers look youthful on you, illusion is everything!

The trains, there's so many that they're taking over, I expect to be swallowed up by them, yet, I can't help myself!

I do find that I enjoy the photography of the models more than I used to.

[uwe]

That does look cool indeed.

We're off to historic Pt. Townsend, WA this weekend to play a show on the waterfront for the city's Pride day. There's a substantial old army base there with barracks and officers quarters all well preserved they were part of a series of fortifications placed along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Large gun batteries were sited and made to interlace their fire, they date to the early 1900's but were manned and on alert during WWII as in the early days Japanese submarines were sinking commercial vessels off the NW coast. They shelled Vancouver island at one point and there was fear that a submarine would intrude the shipyard at Bremerton as well. Anywho, here's a couple shots of the batteries, it may look familiar as some scenes from "Officer and a Gentleman" were shot here and in Pt. Townsend.   



This is a gun pit, it had a large hydraulic mechanism that would raise the cannon up to fire at enemy ships.
   

There are other smaller pits as well, pretty now on a nice day, but not much fun during the winter as it's dark, cold and rainy about 100 percent of the time.
