"10,000 Watts!"

These guys ruled last night.

We had our show last night at the Black Swamp, in the Cla-Zel, on the "Peanut Butter & Rock" stage (it was teen-oriented, I guess teenagers really like their peanut butter). I think it went really well. Justin's music sounded fantastic, and although there were evidently some problems with the sound, I think Mike's set was also really good. It wasn't perfect, of course, but everyone has said that it sounded superb, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Definitely an awesome experience.

This weekend was a whole lot of fun. I could give everyone a play-by-play of what happened, but instead I'll simply list the highlights of the experience:

• Lisa and Danielle coming to visit, and all of the hilarity that ensued as a result.
• Meeting CANDYFACE at a party on Friday night. I know that makes no sense. Bear with me.
• Singing songs from The Last Five Years while walking across campus in the middle of the night.
  
• Making fake signs for Lisa and Danielle to hold up during the concert... then taking pictures of them.
• The guy who was running the sound board at the Cla-Zel.
• Chicago (all things go, all things go).
• Meeting Mike's parents. They're both really nice. And evidently his dad reads this blog, so I can feel like I'm at least addressing this bullet point to somebody.
• learning from Mike that playing a shaker = "wanna do it?"
• seeing "Psuedobook" on a sign for the show.
• getting the chance to play cello at Kevin and his fiancee's wedding. I'm pretty excited about that. And Bach, too! There's no Bach like cello Bach.

All in all, it was an immensely fun, if extremely tiring, weekend. And now I have to do a bunch of homework today to make up for the fact that I've been ignoring it since Friday, opting to spend vast quantities of money on fast food in the stead of investing in my education. So I'm going to go do that.

Open inquiry... Is The Pseudobook Podcast Weekly dead? Alive and well? On infinite hiatus? Because I've been wondering about the other possible uses for canned nacho cheese dip for quite some time.
