Well that settles it. Talent in glockenspiels and brunch are mutually exclusive. Drat. I thought maybe I could get better by going to brunch more.
Also moid, I'm as uncultured as they come. My brunch yesterday was chicken and waffles in sausage gravy.

Also Brunch is low-key kind of a thing here.

$126 including tip for 4 people seems pretty reasonable

. I ate like a champ.

I spent $70 (including tip) for two so you beat me in terms of portion per person. I need to make more money so that I can squander it on food/status. Should have invested in bit coin when I was in high school. :sad:

You and me both. I think I am going to buy shares of FBSOX this week which is just a tech mutual fund. It won't make me rich, but it will grow my money over the next 10 years or so. Well hopefully.

Ouch! Wow, I hope that was for a large family gathering! I also hope it was bloody amazing... my son was showing me some very nice large orchestral glockenspiels on Ebay, but they cost between £700 - 1500! Suddenly guitars seem almost sensible in comparison as a hobby

Yeah, this stuff can real expensive real quick. I stick to cheap stuff. Hopefully he doesn't want a vibraphone anytime soon...$$$$$$

I'm thinking of buying NICE NOISE by Yuri Landman so that I can get my fill of klingz and klangz and bell sounds with out actually getting any bells. It's only $18.95 but the idea of owning another book is appalling to me.

He likes fighting dirty sometimes...he will often swat his paw on my arm to try to get me to let go. That hurts. What is really funny though that I can't do with a camera in one hand is when I am holding onto the toy with one hand, and then I reach around a tickle his ribs with my other hand. He gets real angry and the growls grow really loud.
that book you mentioned looks neat.
It looks like my custom Electro Lobotomy instrument is about done. He posted a pic on his instagram today...

That's nice that you picked out a toy that matches his eyes.

I was actually going to suggest you look at the Sonic Forest from him. Looks like you got a Sonic National Park instead! That looks awesome!

Yeah I just looked at all his items on etsy and his YouTube channel and combined 4 of them into 1 unit.

Awesome! I have a few of his things and love them, I started speaking to him about something similar a few months ago but then he went radio silence. Kinda good as I went drum machine crazy since then.

Looking forward to hearing you play it.

Yeah I think ima have fun with this one. It also looks like there is room for me to add further noise makers onto it like drum pads and Velcro and stuff like that there.
