Finally!

I soooo love thunderstorms.

And yesterday, just as I set a foot out the door, I heard a plop. Then it started plopping all over the place and suddenly everything was wet. Then – finally – big booms of thunder and big flashes of lightning (which we already had Friday around 1 am, but without the rain and thunder, and that’s just not the same). Cooling winds and people running. I love thunderstorms…

I would write longer on how many (MANY!) memories come back to me with the different smells of a hot summer day followed by hot summer thunderstorms. Sadly, I have a village fair going on right in front of my house, so I can’t concentrate one bit. I’ll have to tell you more about that some other time…

Have a happy hot thundery weekend!

Mad Caddies!

A befriended band of mine, Another Guardian Angel, plays ska punk really well and does concerts full of funny people and good atmosphere (feel free to check them out and promote).

They are heading for a big breakthrough, because on July 3rd they will be opening for the MAD CADDIES. Now for anyone who doesn’t know the Caddies, I highly recommend to check them out, too. I’m currently listening to their 2007 album, “Keep It Going“. My favorite songs from that are “Coyote” (cool groove and lyrics) and “Riding for a Fall”. Especially that last one makes me think of a dear friend, who is currently going through a rough patch, whom I’d like to send tons of positive energy through this medium

Kudos to AGA, hope you have a blast and become rich and famous and then send me some money

I am unnerved

When you’re still doing sound checks on the stage, right in front of my balcony, with a microphone and lots of amp, at quarter past MIDNIGHT on a THURSDAY and show no signs of stopping.

Why do I live here? is a question I should not ask myself.
