Happy Anniversary?
One year ago today Litmus Green played their last gig at the Showcase Theatre in Corona California. 12 longs, fun years.
A lot has changed in the last year: I abandoned California for Illinois, got a kick ass job with a really cool company. I'm well on my way to being able to buy a house. Coolest of all, Lare and Brendi got married.
Some things haven't changed much. Sean is still Sean, I'm happy to report. Although he seems to have mellowed a bit. Mat is still Mat. Rick is still Rick. Ron is still Ron.
I do miss the band, and all my friends. Lossing touch with everyone has been the worst part of coming out here (it's not cold enough yet for me to thing that is the hardest part). Lare is the only one from the band that I still communicate with semi regularly. We've all drifted apart since the band broke up, and that is sad. I think that after 12 years of focus on the band and it being what always brought us together that when that 'glue' was taken away it just became harder to get together or keep in touch. All our lives outside the band became so different over the years that without that common ground it was hard to stick together, I suppose.
Oh well, times change. I raise a glass to you all and I wish you all the best. Rest in peace, Litmus Green. You deserve it.
