A lot of the time I feel like someone who just sitssss around. I think that's what people think of me as too. Which is weird, because I do a good amount of moving and shaking. Sure, sometimes there will be a week or two where I'll see a lot of my computer screen and hardly any friendly faces, but I think a lot of other people do this a lot of the

Thank you for talking about James Rabbit - I'll check him out. You say the singing saw doesn't get used much - over here in NYC there is actually an annual singing saw festival. Check out the video on their page: www.musicalsawfestival.org

I couldn't go on enough about how much I loved James Rabbit.

Specifically in this post, I meant that the girls in the band didn't play their saw much, although they had one. Although in general it is an underutilized and under-appreciated instrument.

For Saw enthusiasts I recommend checking out any and everything by Julian Kostner. He was a member of Neutral Milk hotel, has his own band The Music Tapes, and is in general one of the most awesome people in the Elephant 6 scene as well.

Now, do I know you by chance, oh anonymous poster?

Through all the highs and lows, that sounds like an absolutely epic day. Thanks for mentioning James Rabbit; I took a look at their myspace and it looks like they're playing a show in Davis this week; I'm gonna check them out if I've got nothing else in my way.

did you leave that first anonymous comment by mistake Richard? I'm really confused as to who that is..

And yes check them out!

No, that wasn't me. I've never been able to say "over here in NYC..."

And I just got informed that James Rabbit is playing at a 21+ venue...

Transit After BART Shuts Down

Bungalow Bill:

No need to couch surf in the East Bay if you don't want to. AC Transit runs a bus across the bridge 24/7 (route 800) and has 5 routes around the East Bay 24/7. MUNI also has 5 routes that run 24/7. It takes a while, but can get anywhere any time on a bus. Find them on 511.org.

Thank you Mr. Peeples. I can't say I've ever attracted more attention from anonymous internet contributors than with this post. I'll keep the 800 in mind next time I'm over there...
