Packing, packing.....then a quick sleep for a few hours - before I set off for the 2 hour drive to Brisbane.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I ended up packing two days ago thanks to my usual neurotic tendencies. And I keep on re-checking to make sure I'm not forgetting anything useful. I'm pretty sure in all that I remembered to bring underpants.

Yep - I got a bit of OCD in that area too.fluffy wrote:I ended up packing two days ago thanks to my usual neurotic tendencies. And I keep on re-checking to make sure I'm not forgetting anything useful. I'm pretty sure in all that I remembered to bring underpants.
Just woke up - overslept by 2 hours. But it's fine! i had scheduled on getting to the airport 4 hours early. Time to drive to Brisbane - and I will still beat the morning rush hour and arrive by 6. Plane leaves at 10.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I'm arriving Friday at 11ish into DCA, leaving Sunday at 6.
Anyone down for a tourist group on Saturday? Is our best bet to just wander to some museums, or just try and see all the main sights on some sort of guided tour (Duck tour? Segway tour? Bus tour??)
Also, I'm going straight from D.C. to a work trip in Gulfport, Mississippi(oh yeah!), so packing is going to end up being a bit schizophrenic.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
It's REALLY easy to bicycle around the core sites. It's all flat, and there are tons of wide sidewalks full of pedestrians to run over.Bjam wrote: Anyone down for a tourist group on Saturday?

I'd like to visit the Corcoran museum.

If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

I get in Thursday Friday early AM, and so far just have rehearsals Friday after lunch and the two nights planned. I'm free all day Sunday and Monday morning. I fly home Monday late afternoon.
EDIT: Oops, I get in Friday AM, my mistake.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I arrive Thursday evening, but I haven't made any concrete plans yet at all. I'll probably just start calling whoever's number I have until I figure out where the people are at.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I'm laid over at Chicago Midway right now, where the Wi-Fi is expensive and my (Sprint) hotspot's coverage is terrible. And this shitty overpriced cobb salad is drenched in mayonnaise. HOORAY.
Also my flight's been delayed. HOORAY.

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I don't know anymore what thread is right for what topics, but, should we try to organize a bit in advance about how we're going to deal with having to do our own sound...? I can probably handle it when I'm not on stage if necessary, but it'd be great to have some folks to share in the work, and I'll be in a few sets Friday night too so we probably at least need one other person.

Jon - when do you get in?
Ray - only Wednesday, or any day after too?
I'd like to maximize the attendance since I do get tired of karaoke. . But I'm up for going out all the nights, and hey sometimes you accidentally end up at karaoke...

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
I am finally at the bed and breakfast. I really should have thought this through further. Being on the top floor of a 3-story walkup of a house that was probably built in the 1700s is not particularly compatible with a fucking heavy suitcase loaded with 45 pounds of recording gear, in addition to my backpack loaded with who knows how much nerd toy bullshit.
I am 127% up for karaoke, preferably AFTER Friday since I don't want to ruin my voice for the show. (I do A Thing when I do karaoke, and I usually can't sing for a few days afterward.)

Re: Song Fight! Live 2014: Running Commentary
We won't be leaving until sometime on Friday, and will be arriving appx 2.5hrs. later. It will be a long trip, filled with multiple pee stops, and possible fast food drive-thru. Though I doubt anyone would really want to make the trip over their short stay, Charlottesville VA. Is full of history and food and beer, and you're welcome to visit. I can't attest to how late after we will be staying, as we do then have to drive the 2.5hrs. Back home... but you never know, it may be espresso shots at 11pm.
