Wow, yesterday was the best Mardi Gras ever! 1st I had 2 slices of king's cake for breakfast here at Job #1's annual party. Then I went to Target and bought me one of them there IPOD's! Yes, I am officially the last person in North America to own a damn IPOD! But I got one and brought it back to work and immediately started playing with it and downloading stuff and even got a couple of books on there. You can download books free from your local public library, ya know! Anyway... then I ate a big cranberry/raisin cookie at a meeting. Finally I ate a delicious slice of chocolate ganache tart made by one of my coworkers. Yummmmm...
After work I rushed home to get dolled up for the Big Concert! I met JFu at the Hard Rock for a drink beforehand--I had Disaronno. And what a show! 1st Kris came out and did a song solo, then he introduced Merle Haggard and band. Merle even did one song on fiddle and I just melted inside. What's funny is all the geezers that were in the audience! Plenny of old timers, folks my parents' age and older! I worried that me and JFu looked old. Well, we probably did to the smattering of 20-somethings in there! Anyway, the whole set list was played with sloppy beginnings and endings and they forgot lyrics and Kris dropped his harmonica but none of us cared. I was just so awed to be in the same damn room with them!!! And lord, it made me want to pick up the fiddle again... but I better learn how to play bass first, heh heh!
So after the show we went back next door for another drink--Johnny Walker black for me (they didn't have red). I checked in w/sweet Stefano who reported his gig went well and they got lots of tips besides! Then I decided to head to the Continental since it was Tues. night and LDB's awesome band was doing their weekly gig. I had another scotch and the place was pretty dead so I sat up front and just had an awesome time. I only stayed for about 6 songs, being sure to tip the band before I left, then went home and finished the 3 chocolate-covered strawberries technically after midnight but oh well.
Leo says we've got a gig this Fri. night and the price is right so I agreed. Stefano has offered to come and be my roadie and it should be a fun time! Tonight I shall go for a run after Job #2 since these past few days have been so incredibly decadent, then I want to chill out at home and just lounge, catch up on my DVR-ing and reading if possible b/c I have no more free time left this week, but worth it!
