Leavin' on jet plane...er...car...
Lots of last minute stuff to do today to get ready for my trip tomorrow. I can't wait, though. Just to GET AWAY for a little while. Funny thing is, one usually comes back from trips like this either (1) lamenting that the trip is over and real life has resumed or (2) recharged and ready to go, having had a much-needed 'interlude' to the day-to-day mundane.
Hopefully, I'll be #2 (and smiling), but...I'd probably be lying to say I won't struggle with #1 (and a spontaneous outbreak of Turret's Syndrome). Heh. I'll know next Friday evening.
Either way, I'm just glad to have the break...
...
Attended band practice last night to help mix the sound and make sure things went smoothly. They did overall. I very much enjoyed the Megadeth tempo of "Open the Eyes of My Heart" as well as the way the vocal (acapella) pitch dropped a full half key on the beginning of "Show Your Power" before the guitars came back in.
Ow. My ears. My ears.
All in all, it sounded okay. Any 'bumps' should turn out fine by Sunday a.m. Heh...but this week, it AIN'T my problem, which is nice for a change.
...
By the way...anyone have any suggestions for the best places to eat at Gulf Shores?
(absolutely NO Applebee's, thank you).
On with it...

not to burst your bubble, but when Bone and I were done there a few weeks ago, only like 3 restaurants were open....
Sea and Suds is a classic on the strip. Sit on the pier and watch the waves.
Hazels is good over in Orange Beach by the Publix shopping center.
Also, whatever seafood restaurant is like next door to Hooters on the strip. I can't recall what the name was... Gulf Island Grill something maybe? ... anyways, the food there was good... but expensive $15-$20 an entree'.
Also, the Pink Pony Pub on the beach is a staple landmark. I don't know if they serve food still or not. Check it out though for drinks.
Finally, be sure and stop at Lambert's Cafe in Foley (on the left as your going down 59) Home of the Throwed Rolls. Excellent food there.
Jake's Steakhouse is also good, but they were closed.
Hooters, obviously.
