Spring got it’s official kick off with a hike up the Gorge trail today. It was a pleasant 64 degrees and sunny. No rain for the first time in week or two. But man was I dehydrated. Not hung over, but pretty parched.

Band practice last night. It was our second go at it and things are beginning to look promising. There are still major issues; I’m handling singing duties, which is better than playing bass, but I look forward to playing lead guitar. I’m not sure if there is any videographic evidence I’d want to post yet. Maybe after next weeks rehearsal.

Rough Set List:

• Burden in my Hand – Audioslave (the chorus kills my voice, I’m not a singer).
• Breed – Nirvana (Our most solid song, I.E. the only one we can play all the way through and if it weren’t for my singing it’d sound just like the album.
• Let Down – Radiohead (Oddball of the set, I love the song and am trying to get the others to see my grungy alternate version I have in my head).
• Crackerman – Stone Temple Pilots (We’re getting to it).
