"THIS MEANS NOTHING TO ME"

OK, this weekend was much better, if anyone's keeping score. A loose, experimental yet satisfying practice with the band Friday night, afterwards got righteously drunk at a gathering/wake for Resonance and had more fun than I expected.

Lori and I joined some friends that evening and watched a vintage 1985 VHS tape of the Live Aid concert (complete with commercials), much of which was barely worth fast-forwarding through (INXS, Style Council, Paul Young) but the Black Sabbath reunion was awfully good and Ultravox were a nice surprise. Sunday me and Deming -- er, I mean, Kate -- went to Kinkos to put together promotional materials for the band.
