Happy New Ears!
Well, the festive season has been successfully negotiated, and as ever my birthday served to be useful only as a day of rest and recovery from the excesses of 2004. Several people have asked me to take issue with my parents over my birthday, a date (Jan 3rd) which has been described as being both impractical and inconsiderate. I shall pass the complaints on.
So - to summise: Christmas was great, spent in Wales with my grandparents and cousin Chris, got caught in a blizzard on Christmas day. Nice to have a white Christmas, even nicer to get a new CD player for my car!
New Year was spent in Bristol with fellow blogger Mike at a Left Side Brain houseparty. Always good to party with a rock band, and singer/guitarist Gareth was an excellent host. It was a cocktail party, which could have been painful but ended up being just about right. Spent all of New Year's day recovering, playing guitar, watching Led Zep DVD's and generally hanging out being muso's. Very cool. Mike invented the "Nought-to-rifty" cocktail, but I think the full name is "Nought-to-rifty in six shots". Drummer Ryan made some tasty Pineapple cocktails, and everything after that went a bit hazy..
First Müf gig coming up fast, think we want to try and get some stuff recorded once we successfully negotiate the gig, then book up some more!
2005; looking good.
