Blizzard!

     Well, by most people's standards, perhaps Seattle did not just experience a full-on blizzard.  But by Seattle standards, I would say that Monday evening was as close to a blizzard as I have ever seen in the pacific northwest.  For most folks, it was probably a hassle.  But for Scobra and myself, it was adventure time (and maybe frozen toes and nose time).  Scobra busted out some epic snow-driving skills in my little Geo Metro (think go-cart car) in a city full of hills.  The worst part of it was the other drivers on the road... Not trying to be mean here, but if every other car on the road seems to want to make it impossible for you to get where you need to go... well then... Do a Scobra!   Pass all 18 cars that were clumped ahead of you up the hill, using every lane, park, and then watch as only 2 more of the 18 actually make it up.
     The other nice thing about this weather, is that it gave us extra studio time.  We recorded two new songs, and have been working on several more.  We had a kick-ass rehearsal on Tuesday night with the whole band, and are getting ready to rock out some brand new songs in our live set!!!
     Oh, and yesterday was turkey day... I was unfortunately under the weather myself.  I made some sourdough stuffing for the family feast.  But by the time I got there, all I could do was sleep on the couch and drink tea.  Kind of pathetic.  But everyone took good care of me, and I am happy to report that 12 hours later, I am on the mend.  I may even get a chance to eat my first bites of stuffing for left-overs lunch.
     What I am buzzing with excitement about right now however, is how wonderfully team RTB is growing by LEAPS AND BOUNDS!  It seems as though all of these people with wonderful taste, personality, and skill, are coming together to CREATE.  Create what they do best and what they love.  And it all comes together into a larger concept.  As I may or may not have mentioned before, I believe we are leaving the information age, and entering the conceptual age.  What a concept, eh?  And I am pleased as can be to have so many people around, full of information and a discerning eye, to create such concepts.  :)
     But now it is time for me to go, and create some more!
