So, two weeks until the Belgian trip. In the meantime – I’m having fun.
Modern Method’s Summer of Dub was something I did not know about. I wandered down there at around 2:30 and saw Adam – who told me that I should come back at six. I did. He was right.
Top left is Elisha of Babcia’s Lunchbox. She can cook and sing like this?
To her right is Josh Dunn from Birdfish. I asked, and yes, that is a Telecaster. Once upon a time 50 years ago, I played one. My roommate traded in a blond maple Tele for a Sunburst Strat. To his right is Adam from Modern Methods. Adam can sing!
Far right is Ira from Noble Creature. God, he can play some guitar! I assumed this would be some kind of Rock Bottom Remainders. I’m wrong. These guys could stand on their own. But bless them for making beer and food for me instead!
So getting back to the ‘should I stay’ thing. My head says I should get the hell out of northern Ohio. But with stuff like this going on in Warren – why? Damn.
But I think the fun part was seeing everyone I know from breweries, and bars, and grocery stores here! Jackson and Ashley and Josh and Jared and Keith and Amanda and Jitter and multiple Sarahs and Ryans and Jasmine and Sam and Laura and Ellen and… all the folks I know from wandering around town. And I do not make friends easily, and the more I run into these folks the less I want to move away from these folks.
Damn.
This was fun. This was more fun than I’ve had in a while. If only there were pinball…
Hah! I’d probably argue if it weren’t for that fact that it’s bloody well snowing here. And not just a little; a full blown snow.
Nothing wrong with keeping northern Ohio as your home base and just traveling to visit other places – even if you’re doing so for weeks or months a time. It might even make visiting those folks at home more enjoyable (absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?).
So my vote is “go”. And if you want to stick with the musical Q/A, my response is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHIo6qwJarI
