well, i've been doing stuff other than blogging for a few days/weeks/month... sorry to the absolutely zero people who check this shit out, anyway. and if you do read this, well, pshaw.
anyway, there's lots and lots of stuff going on at the 818, doncha know. for one, i've been buying and selling mopeds, mostly buying, but when i sell one it makes up for buying a bunch of em. my latest and greatest aquisitions are a minarelli equiped roadmaster, a couple of tomos bullets, and my new favorite, a za50 and gold 5 star equiped 1986 puch maxi. its even better than the real thing, people. a machine made properly, mmmmhmm. the OhPeds are in full swing, getting ready for spring by fixing our janky ass shit, and buying cool stuff like pipes, kits, carbs, mmmm yummy. we have a fixit/ride day this saturday, i'm looking way forward to meeting new peeps, and seeing some peeps i already know. good times with mopeds, for sure.
the safari front is going pretty good. recording for our lp/ep/whatever is almost done. a few overdubs and some vox, and it'll be ready for post production work, and some sweet packaging work. hopefully our 5 fans will have a cd in their hands, oh, in april or so. maybe march if we really PUSH IT. we've played a few shows at the Matinee, and let me tell you, they treat bands really good there, its a real class act. getting better at not being nervous on stage, having alot of fun with the songs, etc etc etc.... we've got some shows scheduled for february and march, and i'm sure we'll be playing out all spring/summer, and touring sometime... who knows... who knows...
but the BIG NEWS BIG NEWS BIG NEWS is that i am going to be starting a new job in march!! get excited people, get excited. i'm going to be a server, maybe one of the lead servers, at Greenhouse Tavern, on e. 4th street downtown. go ahead, click on the link, you'll be BLOWN AWAY. BLOWN AWAYZ!! i'm super super super excited about this, i really hope that this is the answer to all my dreams/prayers/hopes.... we shall seeeeeeeeeeee.
