Bass on Sunday; Melissa’s Show Tonight!

Posted March 2, 2005, 8:04 p.m.

I haven’t been feeling well the last few days . . . darn this cold-ish thing that everybody has!

I think I forgot to mention that I’ll be playing bass guitar at the second service at Community of Faith on Sunday. I’ve been spending what little free time I’ve had the last couple of days learning the part (it’s pretty complex). I don’t know exactly who’ll be playing, but apparently there’s going to be a whole band+choir setup. I’ll let you know more when I know more.

Melissa’s show was postponed from Monday night ’til tonight (no shows at GMU if the GMU campus is closed, eh). If you’re interested in seeing some of her artwork and listening to her talk about it, stop by the Grand Tier Gallery in the Center for the Arts Concert Hall at George Mason University tonight at 6. There’ll be food ;-).
