Clutch that matey! XV

Hmm.

Last night's work at the pub was kinda okay... had a nice time talking to Gerry and Robert (who also lent me his Bill Monroe CD and his own Robert Bartlett 'Through A Past Darkly' CD) about music, guitars and lending Gerry my Coldplay guitar books on friday.

Cool thing is, Gerry's putting a band for next year's St. Patrick's Day, which is going to feature Robert as well, so I offered my services as a mandolin player... and he accepted it! Oh well, there's nothing concrete yet, but I do hope that I can have a chance to play with such excellent musicians (for a budding musician, it's really a dream come true). Apparently, the name of the 'band' will be The Malones, like a rip-off from The Ramones... okay, sounds pretty cool to me.

Also, planning for the SDN (School of Design) talent time event is starting to get more and more complicated.. Shahidah (the Talentime IC) and myself and a couple of logistics people went along to meet the logistics guy from SIT (School of Information Technology) and man is organising such an event a complicated affair. And it's not just about getting all the equipment, but also getting permits and doing proposals (oh man, the proposal is gonna kill us flat) and figuring out all the minute details which are neccessary to make this event a success.

Yesterday's SDN club 'meeting' really wasn't much of a meeting, but rather an individual interview session with the seniors of the SDN club. I mean, it was rather obvious they were looking for possible candidates for the future posts of Club President and Vice-president, just from the way they asked me the questions.

One thing though... I refused to give detailed comments on people I have no idea about: 'What do you think of (a certain person), and do you think they can get things done?' I mean, it's only fair to say that I do not know some (if not most) of these people well, and it would be a bloody fiasco if I pretended to know what these people are all about.

So I just gave them my skin-deep impressions about those 'certain people'.. but I never said anything negative, except for one particular person (read previous posts to understand who, and for the record it was not Alvin ;) ).

Anyway, tomorrow's the Comm skilsl presentation, and I promised Gerry I'll be bringing my electric to Molly's Friday night so that we can do a Dylan/Hendrix version of 'All Along The Watchtower' (it's in the Dylan rhythm style, but with a Hendrix-type lead guitar added on top). Whoa man, I'm been practising my lead lines for that song for quite a while, so I hope I'm able to pass the mark on friday night.


Cheers,
