The Bass Geek

While the billions I predicted may not have appeared (I’m hoping the recount comes closer to my earlier estimate), it was still a big day for Fountain Square. The place was littered with artists and musicians trying to find an appropriate place to craft their entries for the Masterpiece in a Day contest, and overall the results were good. It was a bit bizarre to see my elderly pug intimidating a much larger dog and then daring to investigating a solid-looking-yet-totally-docile pit bull. The Fab 4 Less exhbition was good, too, although it was a little weird hanging out in someone else’s apartment and trying to explain all of the renovations they did without the artist being there. I didn’t even try to sit on the couch or any chairs, for fear that they’d arranged everything with their practiced eye, and I’d be disturbing come carefully crafted balance.

Jennifer walked out of the place with a new purse bearing the spray-painted image of Jim Kelly, which I highly endorse.

There’s also another mural behind the house. We’ve volunteered our fence and garage door for the next effort, which should take place next spring.

I managed to sneak the new bass in for some repairs that hopefully won’t take too long. It rested here for such a brief time that I’d like it back as soon as possible. I’d also like my custom earplugs back as soon as possible, but the location of those is a little more fuzzy. I’m going to check around at work, but I fear I’ll be calling Dawn at earEverything for a new pair soon. My night out with regular foam plugs just didn’t cut it now that I’m used to the custom molds. They cut down the volume without cutting down the balance of the frequencies. Not only does it save the hearing, but it makes the mix anytime I’m playing sound so much better - I just can’t live without them, unfortunately. Which is why they enjoyed a position of honor on my keychain. Alas, no more.

Hopefully the Steelers will mollify my pain with a win this afternoon, the new Metalocalypse won’t fail to blow me away, and the earth will continue to turn.
