Day off, Wooooohoooo!!!!

Yay, finally a day off. I don't have many of those these days. I guess I had 4 last week, but I went to Quebec and I guess when you travel, it's always so busy that it doesn't feel like you had time off. So today, lots of free time and supper with some friends.
So, all the shows are up and running, too bad we are still waiting for the sound system!! We are using a temporary one for now. Who knows if the new one will be here before the end of the summer. The new lights are in though and our technician Donald had them all figured out for last night's show. It was prety neat.
I just got my laptop last week and I am really excited about that. Just yesterday, I got a desk and chair and now I have my own little office at home. It's pretty neat and I'm glad to have some time today to get all set up. I want to do some recording, but I am having trouble getting pro-tools to work on my new laptop. I think it's an issue with the dual core. Anyone have any advice????
I know I have really been slacking off with my website updates. I guess a tune a day may be too much fo the summer months. I'll keep trying though and I'll put tunes up as often as I can. Hope it's sunny where you are....have a great day, Anastasia

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day everyone! I have a gig with Chiquésa today. I am looking forward to that and then we're all (don't go camping Christina) going to Julie's cottage for a party after. They have a band playing there and everything.

* Anna's complaining section*
1. I bought a new instrument stand at Sober's(our local music store) yesterday and it was in a box and everything, but when I got it home and looked at it, it was a used one! Grrrr, there were big scratches on it, and the mechanism to hold the instrument doesn't work properly, oh and the foam is all chewed up on one side. I always say I will never buy stuff there, I never feel like a valued customer, and this just proves it again.
2. My internet provider drives me bananas. I didn't update my website on the 29th because I had no service!!! Nothing to be done. It's ok for a day or 2, then crappy, crappy, crappy. Ugh, nuts, they drive me nuts.
*end of Anna's complaining section*

So, Krista, sorry, silly me. Krista is a Landry if you read my last post and are still left hanging...

Come see Chiquésa play Monday at the Festival of Lights in Charlottetown, mainstage, I think someone said it's free, don't hold me to that though... Have a great day, Anna
