Had Pacifica on while writing this morning. Sadly, their world tour hits Toronto just I get back to Canada from vacation so I won't get to see them live this time around.

Speak of pirate heavy metal
How's this?

Oh, I loves me some Alestorm. They more fun metal than serious heavy metal but I love that myself.

We saw this little thing on the way from the airport to the hotel…
I hear Trump wants one in DC. 🙄
When we were in Paris, I wasn't feeling well one day so Mrs. Ape and Ape, Jr. rented bikes and rode along the Champs Elysee while I prowled Musee d'Orsay (I'm a big fan of impressionism and post-impressionism).
More Alestorm, this time joined by German gurdyist and singer Patty Gurdy. She's toured with them on occasion, too.
How about some Asian Folk Metal to rock your weekend? The subject is famous Asian pirate queen, so I suppose this falls in with the pirate metal subgenre to some degree, too.
The woman in the hat playing a liuqin (basically a Chinese mandolin) is Taiwanese musician NiNi. The long-haired growler (and a very impressive one, I must say) with the electric guitar is Ryoji Shinomoto of Japanese heavy metal band Ryujin. Nini used to mostly do Asian covers of Western rock and metal but has been putting out some good originals of late.

I had one started and decided halfway through to switch to a different element. Now I'm halfway done with the new story and I'm trying to talk myself out of going back to the first story. Ackkk! LOL.
Been there, done that. Usually I end up finishing both, putting one in the comp and releasing the other after it's over. Hasn't happened here in a while but I am pretty sure I did that in a recent comp on SS.
Famous is a story with 30,000 views, Legendary is 100,000. And then there is Millionaire which for writers with 1,000,000 views across all stories.
I don't have the process for audio at my fingertips but there's a thread here somewhere. I am sure someone will give you a link to it.
Ah, Paris. Have a good trip. I would like to get to France again someday, esp. places like Normandy and the Riviera that I didn't hit on my first visit there (we did Paris and the Loire on that one).
I have hit a crossroads with my comp entry. I have two possible endings, both written. And I keep flip-flopping on which one to use. Maybe I will just flip a coin or something but I would prefer to make a creative decision here.
Have a good one, crew.
Yorkshire Tea and a croissant.
LOL. Got another "Like" on my profile from a woman. Took a boo. She literally had almost nothing on her profile, not even a profile pic like most of them do, and still got a friend and five followers.🙄🤣
Went out to grab some groceries this afternoon and man, was the wind ever cold. The temperature is around 1C to start with but the wind chill was (shivers).
