Whoa!..Stuff has been a happenin'!..The Underlings played a gig on a TUESDAY night..KInd of unusual for us..but the legendary FITZ of DEPRESSION from Olympia were headin' out on tour and we were asked to be one of the openers. It started as a cluster-frick..It was at the Samurai Duck (for lack of any other available venue)..There were maybe three people involved in the booking of this place, and I dont think any of em spent more than a minute or two talking to eachother...In any case, it ended up being a ROCKING night..STARVATION DIET opened up..good hardcore band. Kinda reminded me of Septic Death from the 80s..I feel pretty confident that the 'Lings rocked it..Bryant and Ed were on fire. Love playing with those guys..FITZ OF DEPRESSION freakin' blew it out!..considering there were maybe 10 people in the "crowd" maybe a few more..these dudes rocked it like it was a dang coliseum gig for thousands..inspiring!..swell guys too.
Took Wed. off. Glad I did that..I drove into Fall Creek for a while and waddled around with a camera. Got some nice shots...beautiful back there...and hardly anybody was there. Perfect day!
Mandy and I drove up to Portland yesterday to visit my daughter at school..When we get there my daughter says "Hey, I've got something to show you guys. Lets go for a walk."..we head up to the art building. The art class had been working on these enormous charcoal drawings of faces..Evidently my daughter had found an old picture of me from when I was like 22 or 23 and drew that!..THis kinda freaked me out!..but wow..of all the mugs she coulda drawn..I'm really honored..and she's a really, really talented artist..We headed downtown. Checked out the Portland market, Powell Books, a record store..took a nice stroll. Great time.

You should always look for Diane from Valiant Arms when you're in Powells and say 'hello.' Love the story about the charcoal drawing. Last night's 4 track meeting was fun - maybe we'll do it again in a couple months. See you at prac.
