Its Been A While

It’s been a while! I got sick for a week after the last post, then spent the last 2 weeks mostly in Ubud, only coming back briefly to Bloo Lagoon, so haven't had a chance to post. I rented a scooter for a month, so have been getting around a lot more, too. The biggest news to report is that Deb has gotten gigs for the band with Kadek and I. We went over to his dad Bob’s house for a rehearsal and dinner last Mon. Jan. 12. Here are photos of the house, the view from the house, the outdoor dining area, the fresh prawns we had for dinner, and the giant gecko that lives in the roof.

We first played the Blue Cat in Ubud on Tues.

Thurs. we played at a Japanese restaurant called Ryoshi’s in the much more touristy are of Semenyak. Deb rented a really nice fretless bass for me and hired a real drummer.

We played at the Blue Cat again this Tues., this time with this really good drummer from NYC named Simian.

There was an Obama Inauguration Party in Ubud that I went to. It was great to see it on a big screen with a bunch of other people that were excited about it.
As far as getting any other work done, its been going very slowly. They are just putting the second floor in the restaurant building, and I’ve had some ideas for the bar, but nothing has actually gotten done. Now at Tony’s suggestion I’m focusing on producing a version of the Quasar Wave transducer for the spa and have started looking for the materials I need to make one. I have to get moving on it quickly as I have only 3 weeks left.
