a celebratory oil change is in order

My car turned 80,000 today, at 9:54 pm on MacArthur Blvd in Irving, Texas, just before I merged onto 635E. Happy Birthday, Edie! Thanks for being the California-Wisconsin-Michigan-Texas Express. Here's to another 80!

Some notes on jazz band tonight.
Effects of not playing bass trombone for two weeks: sub-par accuracy and shaky tone. Wee. While playing Nardis, however, I stepped things up and stopped thinking about it and of course I stopped playing crappily.

Tom made a funny noise and Adam, the bass player, spit Sprite all over the drummer and guitar player.

Our concert is April 12, 2005 at 7:30 pm. You should come. All of you. Fly in from across the country. The address is:
North Lake College
5001 MacArthur Blvd
Irving TX 75038

And we're splitting it with the UNT 4 O'Clock Lab Band (which apparently isn't special enough to warrant anymore than a blurb as one of "the other six lab bands"), so it's going to be a sweet show.

I'll expect you, then.
