Did I mention that life was interesting?

Slept in a bit late, so had to run out the door in a hurry to make it to the sitting, just did. There was an endless parade of airplanes flying over during it. Rehearsal was in three sections: meeting about getting ready for the next season, including the discussion about whether or not the guitarists-portion of Tuning The Air should take the name Tuning The Air when performing at other venues. No decision made about that, though some good rationale presented that this is only an issue in our minds; if we play a quick show as "Tuning the Air", it won't be a completely foreign and / or idea to people that we are also in this weekly show called Tuning The Air that is more than that. I'm not convinced that's enough reason to not do that, however.
Next, we ran the set that Bob has arranged for the first show. It felt good to me. Really noticed the sound in that room, for the first time in a while, it is wonderful. It is at its best when there are no cushions or audients in there, unfortunately, but I think it is still good with them. After that, we had blocked out time in the church's gymnasium, so we set up a circle there, first 19 feet (the existing circle size), then moving out a bit at a time until 25 feet. The sound was different to begin with, and it more or less stayed the same to me as we expanded. A bit harder to connect with the other players at the full size. Have to take it with a grain of salt however, as the CHAC room sounds completely different, yet again. Very dead.
Stopped by the new place on the way home and picked up my keys! Wow, OK so that's a little reality check. They are still working on the floor, and will have to do the other punchlist items this week. I said it was OK if they took until Friday, I hope to really begin moving stuff next weekend.
Then home for a nap, didn't sleep much though. Tired, but with some zingy energy. Then a bagel and some hips and hummous for lunch, listening to Heaven or Las Vegas on the stereo. Then some emailing, and off to the poker game. It was good. Lots of fun. Fairly boisterous, a bit more than usual. Dean was the only one to bust out, and that was in something like the third-to-last hand, around 1. Tobin and Mike more or less split the "big winners" award. I was down a little bit from my stake.
Got home about 1:30. Had a doozy of a message waiting for me. Kind of pushed aside the rest of the day. Scary but exciting, indeed. Need to get some sleep now, and then tomorrow. . .
