So I made a Silber page over on Google+ for those of you on that network. Not sure how often it will be updated. Is G+ an officially dead system already? Interestingly, in what I assume is a move to push Google+, YouTube disabled their friends feature this week. Of course I don’t know how many people were using that anyway so it probably doesn’t make too big of a difference.
On Facebook I decided to go through & add as friends the folks who I have a couple dozen friends with. I asked to add maybe 100 folks in the category & then Facebook accused me of spamming or whatever. I don’t know, I’m kind of pissed off at Facebook right now, because they won’t let me do anything useful on the Silber page because all I want it to do is import the blog RSS (now a blocked feature) & the Twitter feed (only lets me connect to my personal account?). At least I never liked them to begin with. Anyway, I did end up friending a band from Italy that I will probably open for in a couple of months, so that’s positive. Also I got an email from Facebook today accusing me of posting “illegal or inappropriate content” which I guess was about today I went to deposit some cash at the ATM & It gave me one of my bills that looks brand new back as unrecognizable, which I assume means it’s counterfeit & a friend of mine did a deposit a while back at the counter & had a counterfeit bill & they took it from him & destroyed it so he was out the money. So I posted a story about getting the bill back to spend somewhere. Which to me is kinda funny. Whatever, I should spend less time on that site than I do anyway.
The Remora practice today went okay. Pretty confident of the set with the exception of I hear the club is about to close & no longer has a PA & I sing so my vocals will be in the same amp I use for bass & violin.
I wrote the first draft of the Redwoods script today. Might get it typed up & out to Jason Young tomorrow.
Hey Brian, what’s the name of the Italian band? (just in case you can disclose it)
It’s Plasma Expander. They’re on Wallace & associated with Rllrbll.
Ah thank you, I’ll check them out. Will you open for them in Italy? It was not clear from your post – just in case, please come to Sicily! ;)
Oh, I’m playing with them in my hometown. I am totally down with coming to italy if you know someone to book it & manage it!
Unfortunately I’m not into this things :(
If you’ll plan an EU tour, I could give you couple of contacts for Italian gigs
Well, the thing is I don’t want to need to deal with figuring out transportation or routing or trying to track down equipment to borrow or what place has vegetarian food or any of that. I just want to show up & play for thirty days & go home with the amount of money I spent on the plane ticket….
Well, I’d like to do the same soon or later in the US…except that it would be fine for me a place which has a simple cheeseburger…
