al and batman
so neil got the part!
he gave a call yesterday afternoon bringing the good news, and then the three of us went out to the abbey where i'd be sitting in on keyboards with gato malo.
that was a lot of fun. al was there, and it's always fun to see him. i mean, who sits in a dive bar waiting for a rag-tag bunch of musicians to play while nursing a bourbon, chasing it with a beer and simultaneously following a red sox game and a nabakov book? and he's a polack, too, just like yours truly! seriously, you gotta check out his plastic cheese band celebrations of st. stanislav's day -- polka all night, baby. al also got pretty far in minor league baseball from what i understand, and he's astonishingly smooth and smart between the foul lines at softball games.
so anyway, the band was comprised this time by dan cantor on the drums, kentucky jim on the upright bass, ken fields on sax, me on organ and of course wolf driving the boat with that voice and that guitar. got into some fun territory, one song practically dissolving into some kind of free jazz/ noise rock exploration while somehow remaining danceable, only to morph back to something dripping with bourbon and blues.
al yelling from the table - "who are these guys?!" and dancing with whomever is nearby.
following the show (leah deemed us the sexiest band she's seen in some time; i won't argue), neil, lexi and i went to S&S for some dinner. excellent food, but as usual we ordered with our eyes and ended up with the inevitable leftovers.
note to self: use the inevitable leftovers somewhere.
today we saw talledega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby, which was quite good. but i don't think it quite reached anchorman's level of hilarity.
but what do i know? today's thrift store diversion netted us austin powers: international man of mystery and batman: the movie - the 1966 adam west/ burt ward movie, also starring friggin' burgess meredith and the rest of the original tv show villains! i'm all excited typing that, so take my taste for what you will.
okay, it's time for dinner. barbecue, i think.
** cue the homer simpson drool sound **
and... cut!
