I'm not Thankful for stairs

Oh my, it's been a horrid four days.
I injured myself falling down the stairs on Friday night and sprained my ankle. This the same weekend my local ski mountain opened. This on the weekend my childcare clients had their phone service shut off. And this a week before Almost Awake's shows in Albany and Ballson Spa.

I guess I will be sitting on a stool. I guess that counts out the short skirt.

Oh well, It could be worse, I could have broken a finger.

Anyway, I'll be sending out an e-mail to the list tonight telling them about the shows this weekend, and also to let everyone know they can subscribe to this blog via RSS now. I'm also going to be updating the AASS Facebook group and creating an Almost Awake page on Facebook so you can become our fan!

I mean, if you can be a fan of Tim Horton's, why not Almost Awake?

I have written some new songs, but they are all finger picked, and dave claims djembe doesn't go well with finger picking . . . so we'll see if they get played this weekend. Maybe I can work out arrangements for them with my Dad-o.

He'll be our special guest at 74 State on Saturday. Richard Dean Chapman and he's formally known. My Dad-o is the guy behind Dick's Digital, and many other fantastic musical projects, such as the band Shameless and a new three-piece coming to a bar or private party near you.

I'd like to tell you a little bit about Almost Awake's new headquarters in Cortland, NY, but I'm going to save that for another post. For now, I just wanted to let you know that I'm back in the state I was six months ago.

Honestly, I may have done this six months to the day after the last time I sprained my ankle. . .
It is the same ankle if you are wondering. I'm icing it now, and it's cold.

So, if only because you feel bad for me, and because I have to spend my birthday on crutches, please come to our shows this weekend!

AA Loves you all the time

Keep rocking like a stocking (That's a Christmas reference. . .see? I'm hilarious)
