i have a new work schedule...i've worked this out w/ my boss...i'm gonna work 12 hour days once a week and take off one day every other weeks...so basically i'm working 44 hours this week, and next week i'll work 36 hours, but i'll get a whole day off!! the 12 hours aren't so bad...you just play a lot of tunes and keep busy, that's all...i'm happy cuz this means i'll be using less vacation days for the miscellaneous day off here and there...like going to great america...and even going to new york, i can make that only one vacation day and still get 4 days in new york...

so this thursday is zapruder point's long awaited cd release party @ subterranean...here is my promo that i sent to the chicagomuzik yahoo group...out of sheer exhaustion (NOT a lack of desire to promote) i'm just gonna copy it word for word:

hey folks--

i know that there are a gazillion bands out there deserving of more
attention than they're getting, and i realize there are a gazillion
shows going on in chicago on any given night (which is why i love
this town)...

...but i wanna draw your attention to a certain trio called zapruder
point (http://www.zapruderpoint.com)...take a 2-string guitar, add a
violin (or fiddle if you like), set 'em next to a not-so-big drum kit
and voila! you have zapruder point...granted, the recipe is not as
simplistic as that, but the music is simply delectable...their
supporters include the likes of jim derogatis, and i've even seen mr.
thomas dunning doing merch at a zapruder point show (before he moved
his hoot nights to dublin)...

...so anyways...they're having their long-awaited record release
party @ subterranean (2011 w. north ave--that's like north &
milwaukee next to estelle's) in like TWO DAYS!!! that would be this
thursday, july 24th @ 9pm...they're headlining and it's only $5!!
like how cheap is that!!! that's less than the price of a decent
beer @ house of blues!!

...imagine if you will...the mellow tones of the lower couple strings
on dan phillip's guitar striking soul-stirring harmonious
chords...the mellifluous dancing strains of casey millard's
violin...to the enthusiastic but not overbearing beats of the dashing
tom millard...

...i know of few bands who are as DIY as these guys...let's give 'em
some love shall we? i've been to shows in new york, seattle,
portland, austin, madison, etc. and i know we've got the best fans
here in chicago...

...so come to the show and say hi to me! i'll be the asian girl with
hair as long as her legs (which isn't saying much) toting a nikon
coolpix 4500...

..alright...that's it for now...i figured there aren't many posts
here so i might as well give you some reading material...thanks!
