Last Night? &$%#ing Incredible

Except for the part where Roz put on the Facebook event that showtime would be at 8. That was a lie! And I have only been to the venue once before (last year when A. played there with Tower of Power) so I didn't know any better, plus it being a school night and all. I got there right at 8 and then had to wait almost an hour, surrounded by high-school lookin' boys and guys that looked like comic-book store employees, if you know what I mean. I drank and Tweeted to pass the time. I met 1 person during that time, a girl! Anyway...

Roz's jazz trio KILLED. I was so proud!!! It was so exciting! Guys started talking to me too and I made some friends in the audience. At one point I went to the restroom and when I came back this nice-looking guy by the bar grabbed my hand so he could meet me. (Ok, I was wearing a tight top and short skort!) He introduced me to his 2 friends who are also his bandmates, a drummer and keyboard player. The drummer was HOT. Agh. And TALL. Whoo! Mercy. I spent a few minutes talking to him, yeah! They told me about their band and were blown away (as people always are) when I told them I was a bass player and friends with Roz AND there seeing Victor Wooten for the 4th or 5th time. I went back to my spot up front and met a couple other cool dude musicians (no high schoolers!) there and we all made friends.

Victor Wooten destroyed me. I was a puddle of goo on the floor. I wanted to laugh and cry, he was so motherfucking incredible. He also brought out his damn kids! His beautiful (1/2-white) children are unbelievably talented! The 8-year old boy played a killer funky-ass drum! The 11-year old daughter sang awesomely. Then they brought out The World's Cutest 6-year old girl who SANG HARMONY with her 11-year old sister!!! I fully expect these gorgeous, amazing children to take over the world someday!

Later I realized I should get away from the front of the stage before I exploded and went to check out the sound in the back of the room. I found Roz (he had been SO kind to put me on the guest list that night!) and watched the rest of the show with him. I saw that hot tall drummer guy from earlier walk past and I grabbed him so he could meet Roz, but turns out they already knew each other. (Houston really is a small music world sometimes.) That drummer guy knew he was hot though b/c he was being very touchy feely with me, hugging me, rubbing my back, etc. Fresh!!! Guys like that know they can get away with it, though...

I didn't get home 'til after 1am but I went home really elated and SO happy. I had run into some other old musician friends as well and that was great. I wish I could have musical nights like that every night!
