Garter belts and Guitars
What the hell? Is it really Monday?! This weekend went by way way to fast. Friday started poorly with me being sick, then a little work on the theater and went to dinner with the family. I also began setting up my Dad's new Dell.
Saturday brought forth a full day. My good friend E was in town for a wedding. He is has been playing guitar for quite a few years now and I have decided that Dade and I are going to learn guitar. Well we needed instruments and I don't know anything about guitars... E was very generous with his time. We spent half the day going about looking for guitars. First we went to Rockin Robin. Good place but kinda expensive. We ended up at Guitar Center. Dade was trying out every guitar he could lay his hands on must have tried out 100... well he finally settle on a black Squier(Fender) Stratocaster with a mirrored pick gaurd. I could not find one I liked in my budget. So I was about to go away without a guitar, but... there was one that I absolutely loved ... it was calling me... This guitar looks very much like another prized possession. So much so that it must be the influence of the guitar. Anyway it was out of my budget and it was already on sale. So I am buying all of the other gear and looking at that guitar which is right next to the checkout and the salesman says how about I make a deal on the guitar... I said it better be a hell of deal. It was. It's mine now. I think that guitar picked me! ...see for yourself.
Later on Saturday we went the wedding of 2 friends of ours. J and A. they were/are high school sweethearts and are a great match for each other. The wedding was beautiful! The reception was great as well! They had something I had not seen before, the groom had a chocolate fountain instead of a cake, really a cool idea. I saw quite a few friends there. Some I don't get to see that often and as a real treat for me got to sit between my old neighbors E and J v.cool! My family and I had a great time!
Sunday was well... Sunday lunch at mom's, delvier dad's new Dell, a little theater work, a little computer work, play with the new guitar for 10 minutes and fall asleep on the couch. weekend over!
