Outnumbered, Outgunned

BuggyWhip feels the Wrath

So yesterday was pretty damn impressive for car wrecks. So lets start off with the home stuff. I spent most of the day putting a new roof on a garage with my younger brother. We had just gone there to patch some holes, and naturally we decided to redo the whole thing, and it was amazing that we did that sort of shit. The nice thing is it is easy work. it is not advanced carpentry. There are devices built into the structure of a roof that makes it easy just to rough it out. So that was cool. The interesting and upsetting thing is this...that my family just does not think I have a job. I mean I can appear on TV, and people can hear me on the radio, but it appears that they dont think I have things to do to occupy my time. I know that 99% of my friends dont understand the idea of the Italian Family, and our closeness. But it is simply not possible to be separate from them, at any given time.

Anyway...so we got a good start...we cleaned it all off, stripping the roof. And tearing off the parts that we wanted to replace. Then today we spent the morning rebuilding the parts that we needed to. He and Steve that Handyman are there now, I am at the station.

So Buggwhip (www.buggywhipblues) broke up last on the stage at Scott Street. It was awesome. Dickey Betts got so drunk, and just stopped moving. I mean he stood onstage tuning for about 45 minutes, while his band was there looking at him getting more and more pissed off. They did not make it until midnight. It was amazing. Tom was so fucked up at the end that he was white, like death white.

The thing is this SUNSPOT (www.sunspotmusic.com) got just as plowed last week. But they love each other, so they just had a nice time with it. But the guys in Buggywhip dont really like one another, so they just sort of let it all blow out.

Dickey Quit, Micheal Anthony the bass player was an ass, and Alex Van Halen was so pissed off it was not even funny.

Two weeks in row it was fun, now next week it can suck. Dave Steffen...who needs that anymore. Not me.
