Last night Holly and I picked up the Dude and went to go see the Klopeks/Matadors show in Burlington. When we got there I threw four loonies in a Buck Hunter machine (the original!) so the three of us and Hooch, could play a quick round. The gun calibration was off, and the reload was finiky, so we played maybe one board each before giving up. It was also time for the Klopeks to come on, so I just set the gun down and watched Josh make fun of Burlington and the kid who’s birthday party they were playing at (who wasn’t even there at that time). Holly finished off all our credits by holding the gun against the screen, but the gun was so bad she could still barely hit anything.
The Klopeks only played for about 25 minutes, then they all bolted out the side door. The bar had UFC 105 on, so I pulled up a chair and watched Couture/Vera while some old drunk dude tried to talk fighting with me. The fight went the distance, and I was worried Couture was going to lose the decision, but he actually won unanimously. I love Randy Couture.
The next band came on, and although they didn’t sound too terrible, the rockabilly slut they had singing was gross. Her dress was too tight, and her body was very curvy in a lot of ways (none of them good). The Dude was getting bored, and asked if I wanted to join him outside for a smoke. While outside we talked about leaving, then decided to stick around. We walked back in, and five minutes later walked out and got in the car. We dropped the Dude off, and he lent me Brain Candy – which Holly has never seen (wtf!) – after showing me his latest adjustments to his winery model. We came back and threw it on, and I think Holly lasted maybe 25 minutes, and me almost an hour. Luckily for me, I look forward to sitting through it again.
Above is a robot I began this morning while attempting to let Holly sleep in. As per the Dude’s request, he’s got some round bits. The Dude likes his robots round. I have to do lots to him, but I was working on him on my laptop and didn’t feel like pushing my luck with it’s stability. I’ll transfer it to the other machine and then it’s going to get lots of detail. And some colour. My laptop sucks now.
