oh jesus christ trent, you really are trying to make us declare bankruptcy aren’t you? nin summer amphitheatre tour with bauhaus. i see at least 14 doable dates. most of them are…”we’ll if we go to this one, we’ll already be right there for the next one, and then the next one…” i can picture virginia beach, dc, camden nj, holmdel nj, wantagh, ny (which crap is on tony’s wedding day), saratoga ny, hartford ct, boston, toronto, detroit, cleveland, columbus, pittsburgh, chicago…oh hey, columbus is on my birthday. happy birthday to me, my own mini tour again, all through june. jesus christ i really just need to take a leave of absense that month. seriously. all the presales are in or around vegas…crap. i could take out virginia beach and dc…stick to nj and new england. could take out chicago to but the flights are so cheap! gah

so i guess that means that i really better like the apartment i’m going to look at in NT on wednesday. it’s a lower of a really nice looking house on Ward. $550, includes water. Right there, that’s like a $400 a month cut if gas and electric keeps this shit up. no pets, but we just won’t mention kitty. with my tax return my bank account looks more healthy so i should be able to afford the deposit and first rent, and not have 0 dollars left. i just hope that i get this security deposit back, that’ll help. but i’m not getting my hopes up. who knows what this place will look like. i just really need cheaper rent, i got ANOTHER tour to fund.

this week filled up fast, something going on every day now this week. next week is filling too, and i need a haircut before vegas. a bunch of us are going to patronize the restaurant of one of my most hated players, so we can make a mess, treat them like shit, and not tip. siu is supposed to call me about it, and wow that’s gonna be a train wreck. i can barely understand what she says on person, let alone on a phone where i have trouble understanding good english. should be a fun time though. i plan to start smoking that day, so i can smoke in the restaurant and ash all over the floor.

i bought a shadow box for the tambourine today, but the only ones that it fit into that weren’t completely hideous were unfinished wood. so now i get to paint it. which could be cool…but i couldn’t find any good paint/weathering kits at the store, everything was spray paint, and i can’t remove the plexi to spray it… so i dunno…michael’s has 50% off custom framing, so i should probably get the Toronto litho framed finally. it would be neat to be able to get the 2 to match but i’m not that good at painting wood unless i just get a plain black or silver frame. hrmph. we’ll see i guess.
