So yesterday was a strange day - one of those days that really reminds you how small the world is.
The day started off by me waking to my phone ringing. It was Maureen Herman, the bassist for the old school, awesome band, Babes in Toyland. That's kinda normal cuz we're good friends - but the day went on.
So i get up, get ready, toss on my Rancid shirt and head to work. A few hours later we're off to Togo's to get a sandwich and I run into Lars Frederiksen, vocalist and guitarist for Rancid. Pretty random. he saw my tshirt and said "hi" so we talked for a bit. a guy i was kinda in a band w/ in HS has played in many of Lars' side projects & also played lead guitar in The Translplants which "shrank" the world a tad more. that was a pretty rad trip for lunch.
Then i get to work and Michael Urbano's there... hes a badass drummer who's done stints w/ Smash Mouth, Cake, Sheryl Crow and other. Also in the office was my buddy Dan from the Seatle punk band The Breifs - who are awesome. he's just moved to the bay area so we hang out and see tons of punk shows together.
So anyways... the day goes on and I end up catching my friends' band, Swicthblade Riot - they're awesome! they're the one's that hooked us up with teh Hell Cat CD release gig.
Bla bla... after their set i cruise over to the "smoking hole" at the bar/club and run into Adam, the drummer for AFI. We also have a couple friends in common so we chatted up for a bit. He's a super nice guy too.
Anywho... it was just one of those random days. Being around awesome musicians, some friends, some "icons" in my little bay area punk world.
good times...
Tuesday has way too much to live up to...
