Open Your Ears!
First, a great deal of thanks to Dawn at earEverything for her quick and professional turnaround on my new earplugs. These things are lifesavers, and I missed having them at some of the louder shows I’ve been to inbetween the time I lost them and the time I got the new ones (foam plugs just don’t cut it anymore). These custom-molded plugs cut down volume without chopping out any frequencies, so it’s just like turning down the volume knob on the world for a bit. She was able to use the old molds of my ears and send me a new set pronto. Musicians, you need these in your life - contact Dawn to make it happen.
I was going to start picking some stuff from my bass book to blog about, but I’ve been unable to find a copy in any of the bookstores. Since I’ve seen copies there before (and I’ve given out the copies I had), I suppose that’s good news. I would like to encourage Border’s and Barnes and Noble to restock, though. Guess I’ll be making a stop at Amazon soon.
It’s not like I’ll be driving anywhere anytime soon, anyway - my car was hit Sunday, so I’m trying to sort out the insurance stuff right now while my Corolla (with new crumpled front passenger side!) waits in the garage for the claim to be processed. I’m hoping for word today, but nothing so far. I did have a nice conversation with one of the guys in the SUV that hit me about music, though.

How did you manage to get your car mangled?

Attempting to make a left turn from the far right lane of a three-lane road whilst driving an SUV (or any vehicle, really) is not the best option. I was collateral damage.

Yo, sorry about the accident, man. Let’s get together soon and console you over a nice football game and some hot wings.

Right on, sir!
