Stefano and I went to the local independent music store yesterday as I am desperate search of a particular Subdudes CD which is also produced by Keb Mo but they didn't have it. Instead I got the new Lyle Lovett and I am now totally obsessed with it. He did the "Pony" song in the film we went to the premiere of last week at the MFAH that I promised to write about in my last blog post. Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, how I love that song... Oh my GOD!
Anyway, that film premiere was magical. It was the top secret premiere for invited VIP's and cast and crew. And since my dad is actually in the film (and they used some of his camera work too) of course we had to go. It was an amazing time. All the club's owners/friends/workers were there and it was so great to see everyone and they all came up to me for hugs and Stefano was just looking on, totally impressed! Hell, I grew up at the Fair! I introduced Stefano to everyone, including the filmmakers who are also friends of my pater familias. And my beloved Vince Bell was there and Stefano got a great pic of us together and then Lyle fuckin' Lovett walks by. Ohhhh... be still my heart... Lyle and Stefano were even wearing the same cowboy boots! There was plenty o' wine, cheese, and fruit and we were drinking' it up, schmoozing, and having an absolutely killer time. Then it was time to repair downstairs to the auditorium for the film. It was a BEAUTIFUL film. It was like watching major portions of my life flash before my eyes. It premieres at SXSW this Wednesday and my dad says he's going to Austin for that.
Ok, well that's basically that. So this past weekend was SOOOOOOOOO wonderful! Lots of sex, booze, and rock and roll!!! 1st, L. and I had dinner at Maggiano's on Thurs. night and we grubbed seriously! Then I immediately went to meet G. and our friend Opus and M. at another friend of their's house where we stood in the garage and drank beer and caught up. I got home around 11:30pm so it was pretty much an early night.
Friday was when A. was scheduled to be in town w/Tower of Power and I was so excited! He had of course put me on the guest list and even managed to finagle a 3rd ticket for Stefano's niece who was in town sussing out grad school at UH's drama dept. Love that A.!!! Stefano and I met his 'rents for dinner beforehand at one of their fave Vietnamese restaurants where I had actually eaten lunch before once w/Tito J. His 'rents had just returned from a 2-week cruise to South America which I wanted to hear all about. What an adventure! And his little 20-yr old niece was so sweet and cute!
After dinner the 'rents went home and the 3 of us went to the House of Blues for the show. We were late seeing Rozzy's band open b/c I had been stuck in the worst traffic jam in Houston history earlier (not kidding--it was in the news and everything) leaving Job #2 so we were running late generally speaking all evening. But that's ok b/c Stefano hates the singer in that band, heh heh. Stefano ran into a couple of friends of his and that he'd wanted to introduce me to for awhile. We'd snuck in a flask of coco rum and got our Diet Cokes and did our thing, little niece included.
To be continued tomorrow as I am leaving Job #2 now to go run a bunch of errands and head home at a somewhat earlier hour than normal, and FINALLY while it's still light out thanks to Daylight Savings Time! YAY!!!!!!!
