Up at 7. Larger than usual turnout for calisthenics. Had one guest today, a guitarist passing through town. TM presented an exercise for the last five minutes that turned out to be the base of something I came across in Argentina last year. Same idea, but in five-note patterns played as triplets:
ONE two three FOUR five one TWO three four FIVE one two THREE four five
Initially 12 for the circle after coffee, then three left at noon, so nine for the next hour. Entirely circulation work. I wouldn't mind something a bit different, to complement the circulation work we're doing Wednesdays, but I didn't bring anything else forward today.
Out to the Eastside for a coworker's "Me Fair" party in the afternoon. Hot drive over there, but a bit cloudy and pretty nice once there. Low-key, well not as many people as last year. Hung out and chatted for a few hours, gave the electric hydros a couple laps around the pool. Left about 6. On the way home, took a shortcut from the parkway up to Eastgate. Realized I probably hadn't driven that route in 15 years. Remembered the time that my sister got pulled over, for doing 35 in a 25 zone there in the family car, when we were on a pizza-pickup run. She got off with a warning. Which reminds me, I was driving like an asshole all day today, not sure why.
Napped for two hours in the evening. Watched TV, played some bass - revisiting Disintegration for the first time in a while. Some of the first bass lines I ever learned (often not correctly). I always had a hard time w/ the feel in Fascination Street, realize now it's all in the picking pattern. And, man, The Same Deep Water As You is pure torture. A 14th-fret barre on a bass for eight and a half minutes. I never figured that one out until a couple years ago.
Still not sure if I'm going out to another party on the Eastside tomorrow, or sleeping in.
Noticed today that I missed Klaxons, they played Chop Suey a few weeks ago. Damn.
