Hm..
Well, I flew home from texas today.. P. came and got me from the airport (thank you! ;-)) and we went and had sushi at the sushi express. [For those of you seattle readers that like sushi.. oh, wait, I only have two seattle readers, and one of them was already there – but, for those of you seattle readers who like sushi, Sushi Express is in the ‘cheap but good’ category, with miso that’s out of this world, and they deliver their sushi on a _train_ – how cool is that? of course, it leads to me thinking of all kinds of spurs, automatic routing systems, and cuteness like putting the soy sauce in tank cars. But it’s still cool.
Then I was going to go home and go to sleep, really.
Except I got one of those ‘come dance with us’ emails. And, hey, why not.. so I did, and ran into what I perhaps somewhat optimistically think of my friends..
It was great, as it always is. Three steller DJs (and one who was definately interesting, although I couldn’t quite get into, at the very beginnign). Good stuff.
Only down side marring the event was that the bass went away. Now, I complain when there’s too much bass, undoubtedly.. but too little might be even worse ;-). Apparently the amp driving the subs overheated, and then never quite did cool down.
[Either that, or they told us that to make us feel better and actually the management told ’em to keep it down to a low earthquake.. ;-)]
Anyway, I offered to help, which was both uber geeky and probably not the right thing to do. My theory is they’re trying to run bridged into a 4 ohm load with a amp that doesn’t like driving 4 ohms bridged. But that’s a hard thing to communicate and I couldn’t tell if the sound guy was saying ‘no, that’s not the case’ or ‘you’re on crack’ or ‘I don’t understand you’. Anyway, should not offer to help.. none of my business.. argh, perpetual engineers disease or soemthing..
I tipped the bar lots, which seemed like a good compromise as I was getting nothing but water, which is free. I always feel bad about this.. I mean, presumably the bars are hosting the music as a incentive to get people to come drink. But I very seldom drink, and never mix drinking and dancing. [Trust me, it’s bad enough when I don’t 😉 but at least I have lots of fun..]
Still, my body is reminding me that it hasn’t had any sleep in a long, long time.
So guess what I’m going to do. 😉
G’night, all. Tomorrow, parking meters, oh boy oh boy.
