I sure do like touring and performing with HMB. We've got this snazzy new set up that is a bit like a crazy red clown car that I use for some gigs with the Tulip that works for us. We practice our dance moves at home with MaMa T. We went up to Boston this past weekend, Sommerville actually and we had such a great time. The fun was endless and all the bands were so so super. We also enjoyed the food, esp that Red Bones place. The wife wants to move there now....

Wed, Dec 07, 2005 Thinking
Thinking about so much these days. Last time I saw the HMB in action was at the new rehearsal space for the winter months that Tara arranged with Chashama. I had to drive her up there is a rainstorm to sign that contract. The new space is a good space. Liberty & I worked out some new dance steps and moves together. We enjoyed Sasha's new song, we could hear it from the street so we practiced in the street as we will do. Then we walked 20 blocks each way to home depot to get a snake to fix the giant clog in the basement but stopped at Grand Central to see the Christmas Light show. That was a good day.
