Current Musickal Endeavors

So, the job hunt is, how should ah put it, gaein very shitty. Ah've had interviews at 7 places, n am just waitin ta hear back from tha last one (which ahm guessin, will be a "no".). Some of them I've really wanted, some ah would've been okay w., n thar was one that ah think would've made me pretty unhappy in tha long run. Howevah, w. 5 weeks intae tha SF n nawt a single offer, ahm feelin a lil down. Even catering work is currently nawt turnin up much, n ah can't help but think it's cuz tha owner of tha company saw me stuff a fish taco down my mouth (which is really, far from against tha "rules" er lack thereof, but still).

Luckily, my musickal prospects are a lil more promising (n ahd fawkin hope so!). Two weeks ago ah met a man named Nathan, who operates under tha name Warren Teagarden fer "reasons unknown". Nathan is a nice guy (even if tha whole "My name isn't really Warren" thang is a lil confusing), n we met up to play some musick, which went very well. Nathan has a drummer (oddly enuff, named Anthony), and is hopin ta git a live band togetha ta support his new album, which he is independantly releasing in February. Ah like tha tunes pretty good, n hear great thangs about tha "other Anthony", so I'm looking forward to tha prospect of jammin out in front of a live audience w. these two gentleman.

Tonight, ah met w. some folks in tha Mission District (which is a great neighborhood in downtown SF that ah'd really like ta find a way ta live in) for an audition with tha group think13. think13 is mostly run by two performance artists, Christoph and Dee, who met a couple years back (according to thar bios) when they were lead actors in some production. They've taken tha musick they write (which they refer to as "Progressive Indie Rock") to tha next level by involving a HIGH level of stage theatrics (suchas gymnastics, fire spinning, and trapeze stuffs, nae shit!), n are also usin tha band to spearhead a non-profit organization that will teach young 'uns how ta put shows like these on. Tha current percussionist works w. his mother, who just recently gawt a very large grant to teach SF youth how to write, record, and produce musick. Needless to say, all this stuff gawt me pretty interesting, n todays auditon went very well. At tha end of tha third song ah was told that ah was "hired", which began to spark more interesting conversation regarding tha future of think13, tha vision, and VAGABOOM, tha non-profit organization. A less-biased write-up of think13 ken be found here.

So if all goes well, yers truly will be rawkin tha fawk out on stage soon enuff! N please keep those fingahs crossed fer payin werk (my landlady will thank you!)
