I was under the assumption that Alex and Nel wouldn’t be having their annual Halloween get-together today since Alex told me they all had the flu this past week. I was surprised when he IMed me this morning and told me to come on up. I just went to the store and got some stuff to make some fun cocktails and will be bringing that with me later today. I got home and mixed a of couple sample drinks just to make sure everyone would like them, and I think they will. 🙂

I’ve been playing guitar a lot more lately. My trusty ol’ Ibanez SGT-110 has been getting a hell of a workout. Might need new strings soon. I recently found that if I tune down a whole step, it makes singing a lot easier for me. Even though I’m able to sing at a higher key, I end up having to project a lot to get vibrato to work in my throat.

Speaking of guitars, I’m really happy with my 110, but I’m starting to get the itch for a nicer axe. I love the sound of Grand Concert bodies with their rich bass-y tones, so I started looking at the Ibanez AC3000WCNT. They are pricier (Sam Ash sells them for $499.99), but I think the playability would be improved over my 110. I’ll probably go check one out next weekend.

Happy Halloween everyone!
