This last show went rather well. IMO our songs in Ultimate Day are more mature than the ones from Corporate Red. We played them well and didn't have any real noticeable mistakes. I played very well and we got it all on DVD, so if you ever see me and want to see the show let me know. We had maybe 20 people there, 10 of them were for us, so it was a small crowd. But, it was a small place as well. Since we did the early show we went around to the clubs to watch the other bands play. Most bands that are good play in Deep Ellum on the weekends. It is during the weekdays when the newbies come out and the quality decreases. I took our lead singer to his home at the end of the night. Unfortunately he was a little tipsy and gave me bad directions. I ended up in Prosper TX, 20 miles north of Dallas by 5:00am in the morning. Anyway, I went home and got some sleep for the next big day. On Saturday it was Shreveport time, so me and Mr.T and Benz went to Shreveport to do some gambling. I like to play blackjack because it is a thinking man's game. If you know how to play it you can get the odds close to even. I started off by being down by $180. Then we decided to get dinner at McDonald's. Then we went back and I won it all back, plus $100 up. By the time we were ready to leave I was even. So I had to do what any good gambler does, gamble. I had stacks of chips in front of me so I let it all ride. That is the funnest part of gambling. When there is a 50% odds of you winning on 1 huge hand. I had a stack of chips about 5 inches high on one hand. The dealer gave me a soft 17(an Ace and a 6) and had a 7 showing. So I had to keep the hand with the hope that I could at least break even. Then when it got to the dealer she had an ace up her sleeve and I lost against an 18. I walked out of there $350 down, but it was really fun, especially since I brought it to loose anyways. I got home about 1:30am. On Sunday I just went to Church and Sunday School and proceeded to skip the homeless and go home and work on being humble spiritually. I did play volleyball that night and we won the first match because the other team failed to show up. The second match we lost, but were so much better than when we started the season. I probably hit the ground 5 to 6 six times. One time I got the wind knocked out of me and sand in my face. Later on Tito(the singer) came over and is now a house guest staying the week before he goes off to San Antonio where his wife and kids are. It should be interesting having a roommate again. That was my weekend, what did you do?
