(don't go back to)
rockville.
*
oddly enough, i get to for the next week or so. the company shipped myself and a FOH mgr up here to Bethesda since there ain't much to do in Charlotte for some odd reason. so they have us shacked up in a huge-ass Hilton in...Rockville.
craziness. never in a million years would i have ever seen myself working up here. the world, and music, is very, very small.
*
initial observations:
don't by beer by the case, or at all. $$$ x 1000
Bethesda seems alright, but like a dummy i didn't stay in town after work, i went back to the hotel. seems the nightlife is worthwhile and the only place around outside of Georgetown that has anything going on.
the pub is small out front and huge in the back. i mean, i wish i had this much space in Charlotte. for the amout of business that they do here, they need what i have. silliness.
and that's about it.

finally gonna have all the bits and pieces of my life in one place at the end of this month. first time in five years. getting all my crap from both Columbus AND Pittsburgh, moving it down to Charlotte after my grandmothers 90th. this is a huge relief and bonus in life. as my buddy Mark would have said years ago, "life consolidation."

Jesus, Jer, I live 10 minutes from Bethesda. I walked by Rira a couple of days ago and wondered if there was a chance in hell you'd actually end up here, not actually thinking there was a chance.
There is very much going on here- it's no New York, but Adams Morgan, U Street Corridor, even Silver Spring has some nice nightlife spots. Jesus, man, this is crazy, I'm actually going to meet you.
Jesus. Is this Hilton on Marinelli? Fucking hell, man.
life is funny. as Isaac Brock says, "try, try, try"
i get tired of this life, the rigamarole that seems like an endless stream of idiocy. make money to spend money...i feel so far behind the times because all my friends have 401ks...i was finally going to set it all up, stock options, etc, but never did because i left the old company. these guys i want to stick with, but no plan whatsoever. so what am i supposed to do?
it sucks. you try to plan but it all goes to waste. one of my side projects this week was to find out how the downturn in the economy has affected us. regardless of the fire. and the thing is, it's hit everyone across the board. fine dining to casual, we are all seeing a 30% drop in sales.
and you can't do anything about it. you can't drag people in (as much as i want to).
enough pontifcating...i'll call ya.
