With all the hilarity around here, it's easy to forget that The Gold State is primarily a "music" thing, but it pretty much is, and the time is ripe to make an announcement about some recent personnel changes around here.
Carlos, who has played bass guitar in The Gold State all season, has taken some well-deserved time off to devote more attention to his various other musical projects, including the amazingly good Japanties (warning: dirty picture), which is one of my very favorite things ever. We are fully, 100% lifelong friends and everything is great between Carlos and me, although people who like to gossip, make shit up, and wage smear campaigns, start your engines.
So that kind of sucks that Carlos isn't playing with us anymore, and we'd be really sad, except for the fact that--—and this all happened so smoothly--—we've got a really cool new guy to play bass guitar already, and his name is David.
David's in another fabulous band called Los Charlies that happens to be another one of my favorite things ever. He's been mistaken for Jonathan Richman's kid brother more than once (by people who really ought to know better), and he's obsessed with Badfinger (not the band).
David also plays the bass really well.
You'll like David. I just know it.

Good that you finally got rid of that Carlos! I heard that the tension was thick during your rehearsals. When's Pete Best gonna do lead vocals?
Duh.
