Another whirlwind weekend begins…

Last night, headed down to Coventry to rehearse with Faro for the big Sunday night show on Nantucket at their International Day Of Peace celebration, where we’re headlining. Good rehearsal — no real new stuff planned for the night, although Faro’s got this cool version of “Name” that we’ll be doing that involves the insertion of some flamenco techniques he’s been working on into the current arrangement, and he’ll be trucking along his new tenor tuned electric bass for some improv/solo stuff if the mood takes us. We’re definitely back on track for new work, which we’ve been a little stalled on due to my travel schedule and his work with the funk band.

Tonight, he’s got a private party he’s playing, then he and Capri come up here to crash so we can head out to Nantucket a little early tomorrow to soak up some island time and such before the show (which, if anyone’s going to happen to be on Nantucket, is at 7 PM at the Atheneum).

While he’s doing that, I’ll be attending theryk‘s housewarming party down in Johnston, and then heading back up here to wait and maybe catch a few hours of sleep.

frequegrl is closing tonight and won’t be home until late, so her own weekend is crazier than any of us. We’re still working on settling a final departure time to accommodate her need for sleep (her shcedule’s been insane lately) and she may end up not coming along. 😦 Sadness, if that’s the case. One way or another, we’ll be back on Monday AM.

Next week slows down a bit; the week after is my travel week to Philly for work on Monday and Tuesday, a solo feature in Newark DelaWHERE on Tuesday night at the Arts Alliance, and then two more days of work in Newark itself before driving home Thursday night.

The good kind of crazy…but crazy nonetheless.
