8/18/11
Hey, I just realized it was five years ago today I had about a zillion songfighters packed in my house!
ok, so maybe it was like 25 or so but it was overflowing into the alley....
time flies!
QOTD: were you there?

Yes, and I never got time to practice. Oh well, my set still went great (even with my stage fright and empty-due-to-puking stomach).

haha, yes, I remember dude. you kind of got shafted on rehearsal time since you were last and we had to start shlepping gear to the Vault for the setup.fluffy wrote:Yes, and I never got time to practice. Oh well, my set still went great (even with my stage fright and empty-due-to-puking stomach).
But it was fun, and I enjoyed playing with you in King Arthur's One Stand Knights. You did fine.

Re: 8/18/11
Oh man, good times. I'm enjoying pray for mojo's list of highlights:

Item 7 is cracking me up:
http://songfight.net/forums/viewtopic.p ... 375#p66375
In hindsight, I wonder if the creators of "Lost" were inspired by Santa Cruz's Mystery Spot?pray for mojo wrote:Item 18: Apparently, it is biocosmic energy that makes the Mystery Spot so mysterious. Either that, or a UFO crashed there millions of years ago. Or there's some gas there. Or there is a geomagnetic anomaly present. Whatever the cause, it is definitely, definitely, definitely not an optical illusion (according to our tour guide). I bought a t-shirt.

Re: 8/18/11
I wanted to be there very much, but was still a total noob. My attendence since hasn't been much better, making it to only one show. However, it should be do-able to make it to MADISON next year. BLT is coming, too!
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Re: 8/18/11
So I already answered the QOTD but the DRC is that I'm quitting the startup and going back to Sony. Startup didn't work out, but it inspired me with a whole bunch of things I want to do at Sony which is what I was missing there to begin with.

I do remember after the Saturday night show, after we busted the stuff out of the Vault and everyone was headed to the beach house party in multiple cars, I thought we literally lost you and I was freaking out you were wandering around east Santa Cruz lost and drunk. When I got to the party, I was glad to see you there and still drinking! (I still have no idea how you got there).

You just close you eyes and make a wish and it appears. And stops off at a liquor store for more beer too!

QotD: Alas, no, I was in the middle of writing a dissertation. But the "Caravan Ray! Oi! Oi! Oi!" is part of Song Fight! legend for me.
RE: Madison. Now that dissertations are a thing of my past, I will be at next year's Live! regardless of its location. Maybe if it's close to her, I could get Brooke to come out and then we could have a JHD / BatP battle of the bands. (And then Octothorpe would sneak in the back and ambush us, of course.)
