Brief addendum to today's earlier post...GUPPY EFFECT band practice is NOT happening this afternoon. Guitarist Stefan B has some family in town unexpectedly. At first, he wanted to just push practice back one hour, to 4 PM instead of the usual 3 PM. I was willing to do that, but also suggested it might be to the benefit of all to simply cancel practice for today.
This rehearsal cancellation is not as detrimental to the mission as one might, at first, presume. True...we do have a gig on 8/2, which is coming up fast, but we will have ample opportunities to rehearse before then, notwithstanding today's minor setback. Additionally, today is one of those fantastic summer days in Wisconsin - sunny, temps in the upper 70s, light breeze - when it is ideal to be in the out of doors vs in the basement rock cave rocking. Indeed, Deborah and are are currently poolside at the outdoor pool at Pinnacle Health Club (aka, the gym), soaking up the sunny vibes and swimming a bit. If GUPPY EFFECT were practicing today, I would be on a timetable to leave this poolside paradise around 2 PM, to get home in time to change and prep for practice at 3 PM. Not that I felt any pressure or urgency about that, considering we got to the gym around 11 AM, worked out, and repaired to the poolside about noon. In fact, we might still depart the pool for home around 2 PM anyway, because a plan is afoot to go check out the Fete de Marquette neighborhood music fest later this afternoon. The absence of GUPPY EFFECT band practice opens up a larger time window for festing. We may take our dogs Nyah and Ziggy to the fest as well.
Anyway, that was the long way of saying that plans change and it's best to just roll with that and find the silver linings, because if you are rigid and inflexible with change, it will bend you over and plow you from behind. And, as many of my readers know, arse rape is the domain of a different band I am a part of - HIATVS.
In unrelated, but important, news, I am doing a wellness challenge this week - abstaining from all social and mainstream media.
Fin.
