Today I joined a band. A Latin band. A 10-person Latin band. As a singer/percussionist. We packed ourselves into a tiny room for three hours this evening so the four new members could learn the set. We have a gig on Thursday. I haven't been on stage (if you don't count conference papers or teaching) in nearly ten years. My voice is rusty but it mostly works.

Good thing one doesn't need to know how to speak Spanish or Portuguese to sing in Spanish and Portuguese.

Between now and Thursday I've got to learn a pile of songs and prepare for seminars on Malcolm X. And there's a methods seminar this week BAH that's tomorrow gone.

Tired now.

HAHAH WHOO.

I love it. I think everyone working toward a Ph.D. should be in a band or have been in a band. Rock star academia!

Last night I dreamt that Robin Ince drove me to Harrogate and we picked up Brian Cox along the way.

Everything about this entry is MADE OF AWESOME. A 10-person Latin band, singing in Spanish and Portuguese. WHY THE HELL NOT.
