Band Practice #1

Well, we had our first band practice today. Like all good first band practices, it ended in disaster. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This afternoon, I packed up my acoustic guitar and my bass, and I headed over to Craig and Amanda's place.


(I feel like I should name them.)

The garage was fantastic (acoustics be damned). Craig installed his new drum set and Amanda and I set up our amps. Then we all stood around nervously apologizing for never having played with anyone before. But after a few hours of skimming tabs and listening to mp3s, we started playing. Tenative, and erractic, but I could hear the first, faint sounds of a band being born.


(Oh shit, we're a garage band!)

Which is when the neighbor complained and we had to stop. And now we need to find a new practice space. In retrospect, I'm not really sure why we thought the garage was going to work...


(Damn, the garage was so cool.)

In other news, I have a poster and a postcard made for NARMo. I'm going to print a big run of these tomorrow and start passing them out! I hope I can finish the new website tomorrow too!
