I think this cold/flu I have may get the best of me and it may be time for me to reserve a spot on this pile of skulls for my own. That way you all have a place to come and visit my remains.....
This is actually a picture of the Ossuary we discovered around the corner from our apartment. I know the skulls look fake, but I assure you they are real. The only information I can find online says that it is primarily an "overflow" area for local cemetaries which are emptied on occasion to make room for the new arrivals..... There is a large space behind this "wall" of skulls which is filled with more skulls, bones and religious artifacts. There is rumored to be over 20K skulls in this room..... The room is heavily locked and you can't get in.
Damn... I actually feel better today than I have all week thanks to Karen playing nurse to me, though.
Anyhow, not much of an update here - not much has happened this week except for work and I'm sure you don't want to hear about that. We cancelled our trip to Florence this week - we figured that 2 1/2 days wouldn't be enough time to see everything we want to see and we also discovered that we can go for 1/3 of the price if we hold off until this summer. This weekend we are just going to stay local and maybe do an overnight to Lausanne or Bern.....
We did however book our plans for our 5 day Amsterdam/Rotterdam/The Hague tour next month. We have yet ANOTHER 4 day weekend off from work which we are going to stretch to 5 so we have plenty of time to trek through the canals of the Netherlands.....
"And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's, she said I think I remember the movie, as I recall I think we both kinda liked it, and I said well that's one thing we've got....." Sorry. That song was just playing on the radio and it reminded me of this old seacoast band I used to hang out with!
The weather here is really nice right now (mid-70's and sunny) after a week of crap weather. We may go out after work today and get a few lounge chairs for the deck in preparation for a lazy weekend in the sun....
Anyhow, I spoke to Troy and congratulated him on his screenplay contest - I'm going to have so many famous friends by the time you are all done with your various creative projects! Don't forget me when you are all rich and rubbing elbows with famous directors and music promoters!
Somebody send me an email and let me know how the practice for the May/June shows are going - I'd love to hear how things are working out with Scanlon on Bass.
Tonight is "hippie jam band night" across the street from us. For weeks I thought we were just making noise, but last week the owner asked us to move upstairs from the basement into the restaurant to play in exchange for beers. I guess that counts as a paying gig, doesn't it?? I am now the official bongo player. Look out Phish!
Well, I gots to go work for da' man. Be well!

Blogtastic blog entry. I will definitely update you on the practice situation. I am dropping Scanlon the set list and practice CD today. However, we miss YOU! Don't worry, I've spoken to Carl Nickerson and he says that there will be plenty of room in his all-percussion band, FOTE', for you when you get back. Ok, so I made that up. The ossuary is incredible and now a part of my screenplay, including the supercool inscription. Troy rocks, I can't wait to see how far his screenplays go.

Brian, you are now a PROFESSIONAL Swiss Bongo Player! We won't even be able to get in the same clubs as you when you get back to HN! Finally, a good use for all those calluses.
