Concert update
I've been slacking on the blogging of late, so here's a photo update of the concerts I've been at this past week. The Poison Control Center at the Vaudeville Mews, Towncrier at Johnston Green Days Beer Garden, and John Mayer w/ Ben Folds.

FATE
I can usually tell when and if I'm meant to have the things that I want. A perfect example of what I mean ensued last week.
I've been tinkering around more on my keyboard, kindly loaned to me in college by TexasToast, but its small range, tin-y sound, unweighted keys, and lack of a suspension pedal slowly eat at me. I'm sort of a tone (sound quality) freak, and not being able to get the sounds I want is frustrating. So I had decided that I would save up and buy a nice electric piano. That went fine.
Then last week, I had saved enough and wanted to go and get it on Tuesday. That day, however, I dropped my car off for an oil change and checkup. Of course, fate decided that I was not meant to have the piano. I had saved $370 for the exact price of the piano, but my brakes needed work done. The final bill? $370. Plus tax. Why me?
