Monday I had a great jam with my friend and former co-worker Jason at his studio in Oakland. He plays drums and we've been talking about getting together to play for weeks, and finally made it happen. I brought my music, borrowed his friend's bass and mic, and played and sang through just about everything I've learned. Jason particularly liked "Let's Get Together" by the Youngbloods, and he and his friend who tagged along both praised my singing voice. I promised I'd try to learn songs that Jason already knows too. We're going to try to get together to play again this Wednesday.
Tuesday I had a date with a guy I met recently on OKCupid, which I think went well. It was nice to dine at the Berkeley branch of Herbivore since I haven't been there before, and I waxed nostalgic over the various places downtown and on campus I used to frequent. I should really come to Berkeley more often now that I have the time...
