Irony

I just posted a couple days ago, ‘Who reads this stuff’ and I go to Cintioli’s last night, and a guy who works there … I should say, a rat bastard that works there brought to my attention that he saw the post I made about Cintioli here … While he was poking fun with it and adding phrases and obscenities that weren’t in the original post, I found it interesting that he had found it at all … He said he did a search on “Cintioli” and it popped up … So there … there goes the point that I made that these spiders go through and pick up on all this stuff … It also adds to my frustration that people do read things into posts that aren’t there … The inflection factor of The Internet … I’m low key, so just about every post I make here is read in a normal speaking voice … If I want to yell or accentuate something, I have the caps key and punctuation … For whatever reason, I think he found the post to be a negative on Cintioli, and while I guess to a point it was, it was simply my frustration in that it took a long time to get gear … I didn’t think it would take so long … The longest I would have thought anything would have taken was 8 days (ground from CA) … I would have never thought that it would take 3 to 4 months …

To follow up on that post about buying things elsewhere … I didn’t end up getting anything else … Vito, the rat bastard, came through with the mics and effects I was looking for … I didn’t end up getting some of the stuff that was on my list either … and I didn’t pursue it anywhere else … I think I had spent enough money for some time … In fact, now that I am looking to do some simple changes in the system, I went to Cintioli with my inquiries … Last night I picked up the final items of my order that had been backordered … It was just a spare power supply from the tour package and a dust cover for the board … These items hadn’t held me back at all …

After Cintioli, I went to the fabric store and bought three yards of marine vinyl to cover the monitor board with (so new covers for both boards this weekend) … and some elastic for mounting the mics on the guitar cabinets … a hook needle to attach this to the front grill on the cabinets with black upholstery thread … Then new sneakers … Yeah, a couple stops, but it was my night out to tie up a lot of loose ends … More to complete on my todo list …
