Fun :)
Spent the entire day out today – Patti organised a little get-together of a few former musicians who no longer play regularly (including former spyo-ites: her sister Lucy on violin, Norman on
trumpet, and me on 6-string electric violin; and her friends Zaida
(sp?) on clarinette/guitar and Gloria? on chinese pipa… and Patti on
flute/piccolo) to jam and play some xmas carols for which she’d gotten the sheet music. It was over at Patti’s parents’/Lucy’s/Alex’s house; everyone was rusty, but it was very fun – especially having a pipa in the mix!After that, we stopped for donuts and I joined Patti, Quinton, and their friends Zaida and Adam to go indoor rock(wall)-climbing at this place near Ikea in coquitlam. My first time – other than a few attempts in my early childhood attending SFU Mini-U. I tried two 5.5′s and then took a stab at one or two 5.8′s and the rope ladder, and watched as Patti, Quinton, and Adam tackled the 5.10+ and 5.12′s. I’m happy to say I made it up all of them, but now my forearms are wicked sore (and probably will be so for a few days, yay). I may go with them again next time I have a Sunday off work. I think I got home around 10:50 or so, after we hung out and ate at the Tim Horton’s nearby with Quinton and Patti’s friends.
Thanks guys, it was fun!
