What? The moon really IS kind of slow.

On Friday, I got to see the new Distillery for the very first time as we were playing a gig there. A few years back, I would have been there on the day it opened and would also likely have been a pretty frequent visitor. Maybe it was becoming a home owner, or maybe it was just me getting a bit older but I am quite contented to stay indoors in my little home just relaxing and spending the night with Ian or some friends. That aside, the show really went well and the first band was outstanding. The Kronic Groove Band from here in Calgary are a funk/disco house/fusion band (according to their myspace) who did a pretty rousing rendition of the Ghostbusters theme.

Saturday night, I went to Airdrie to enjoy a BBQ with a former instructor of mine and his lady friend. Partying with a teacher, yep. Good times. He’s actually got a pretty sweet place and I must admit the company and the food were both impeccable. My co-worker, John, was also a student of his so it ended up being both of us going up for a night. Things I learned from Saturday night:

1. Costco makes amazing marinated chicken.
2. Being a math teacher gets you the good lookin’ chicks.
3. Not all accountants have no personality. (just sayin…)

All in all, pretty packed weekend, so it was nice just to relax and wrangle some zombies with Scotty on Sunday. We also finished Series 2 of the Mighty Boosh (I looo-ve the chosen one!), which is a very bizarre Brit-com, and I would highy recommend it if you are the kind of person who enjoys daft moons, jazz, and polar bears. Well, I’m sure you’d have to like more than that, but it’s such a jumble of stuff that it’s really too hard to describe it in its entirety. Either way, I’d call that a pretty perfect Sunday. Pretty sweet weekend in all, actually.
