Unexpected Item in Bagging Area
Dec. 16th, 2018 07:54 amI've been here in Portland, Oregon helping take care of my father: he had two major strokes last year, and he had a BKA (Below Knee Amputation) this past spring.
My brother moved in up here in August, with a one year commitment to be my dad's caretaker. It has not been a picnic for him. But my brother, Tim, gets a few days off while I take over.
DAVY JONES LOCKER COMBO played at Sam Bond's Garage December 7th with REAL GONE TRIO and THE GOOGINS.
It was a trio of trios. We played first, by my request. The Googins played second, they are a punk band from around Eugene area, and they have a good sound in general, but I'm going to talk some smack right now. They're kind of right wing turds. There! I said it.
The Real Gone Trio are ace fellas all the way round. their music was great, and Manny is a fan one the Locker Combo, and asked us to play at this show, which turned out very fun. We didn't get paid that great, but we had a lot of stiff competition in a small town for a Friday night, including 2 Krampus celebrations in 2 separate locations.

THE SLACKERS Tuesday 12/11/18 at Old Nick's Pub (Eugene, OR)
This was a great show put on by Teren Baker (Pirate Radio / Pint Pot) and he deserves a lot of credit. Teren and Jameson sold tickets through the bar where they work, the Pint Pot, and they sold tickets online. The crowd reached near capacity. Pirate Radio opened, next was Rum Rebellion (Portland, OR) then the Slackers from New York City.
Ian Lawless was the DJ, and I took over from him for a bit before and after, playing reggae, rocksteady, soul and punk.
Vic Ruggiero signed Jenn's keyboard.



On wednesday night, I got to see RED FANG (Portland, OR) at Hi Fi Music Hall
My next show is with the Indiscretions december 28th at Luckey's to benefit END THE BACKLOG.

I'm running down to California tomorrow for a a few days to do an XMAS celebration with my other families.
The TUMBLR debacle unfolds today, it doesn't really affect my blog, as I've never really posted anything NSFW.
