After performing in a Beastie Boys cover band, a U2 cover band(at a wedding), playing Weird Al covers at ADD Fest, I will be forming a Dillinger Four cover band with Eli, Gentle, and TFP for an upcoming show this fall.
I had lunch with MikeyC the other day at Sunseri’s Belle Note(where Giuliani ate last week), and we discussed wanting to create ambition in ourselves, after little of it has been ingrained in us. One thing that he mentioned he does, is to stay away from home as much as possible to get work done. It seems easier to sit down and work on something when you don’t have the lazy distractions of your home. I plan on trying this and getting my laptop working(hopefully with ubuntu), so that I can do work at a coffee shop, etc., without having to turn on the tv, cook food, play music, or listen to records. My problem is staying on task.
Dave, Cindy, and I met three Columbian dudes at the Harmarville Denny’s last Saturday. They’re living at the Comfort Inn in Harmarville this summer, and working at various American Institutions like Quiznos and Starbucks. They spend their nights drinking at Joey D’s, the bar attached to Hotel they’re staying. Jobs are supposedly scarce in the summer, when school is not in session, so they travel out of the country to work all summer long.
Besides asking us “Punk Rockers” about every band we are into, they had some amazing one-liners. They talked about their trip to the South, and how people down there aren’t very friendly. Here’s how Emilio described it: “Yeah, they yell at you, ‘Go back to your own country’. Everyone there is like, ‘my truck is bigger than your truck; GET IT DONE.’” I think he was referring to this guy. We plan on meeting up with these guys soon, as they spend every night at the Hotel Bar.
Someone got in trouble for swearing in the deep end of the Bloomfield pool the other day. It is my theory that if you are swimming in the deep end, you should be able to handle a few moderate curse words. For as chaotic as the Bloomfield pool is, they sure are sticklers. The Highland Park pool is calm and huge, and it seems like you could get away with mainlining heroin in it.
