Orange Juice Blues

Blues for breakfast! Actually I didn't have any breakfast. I couldn't. I was too drained and weary and hurtin' from a night of drinking, carousing, and raising hell. I blame Philipo! We're a bad influence on each other. It was FUNNNNNNNNNNN though... We started our evening at dinner at Pappadeux near my house where Philipo treated, as he had a $150 gift card, and we grubbed seriously! We were good though and only had 2 glasses of wine each. Then we left my car and took Philipo's truck to the blues jam. He'd requested, and I'd brought, setup booze of Crown Royal and some of this awful cheap whiskey I've had for years and was looking forward to getting rid of. I figured Philipo and I would feast on the Crown and if anyone was looking to make friends with us, I'd give away some of the cheap shit.

Some of our usual musician friends were there, of course. Philipo had texted me 3 videos of songs he'd wanted me to play w/him that night, and he brought his key-tar! Seriously! A key-tar! We settled in and started drankin and sho'nuff, a couple people we knew and a couple we "kinda" knew asked for some drinks and even offered to buy drinks from me. This one girl gave me like $3 or $4 so that was cool, but I just poured the cheap shit and kept the Crown hidden in my little pink canvas grocery bag! Later on though a couple of our musician friends who I love and admire availed themselves of the Crown and I was happy to share with them.

We played Philipo's 3 songs; I danced a little with this locally much-beloved old singer guy; we killed the Crown; I was gifted a CD by a musician friend; then we got the hell out of there at a somewhat decent hour, I'd guess midnight or a little after. I was hoping Philipo wouldn't want to try and spend the night at my house again but he did, and I agreed but I said we had to get into bed and watch The Blues Brothers! After picking up my car we got to my place and unloaded the guitars, then got a nightcap and got into bed. We were both drunk, although Philipo was drunker than me b/c I was determined not to repeat the hangover pain from last week. Consequently he kept getting too cuddly and close, which I kept having to put a stop to. It was totally amusing though.

Tonight I'm gwine to be w/Mr. Wonderful and then all weekend long! I wish he wouldn't leave me alone so much during the week, but his schedule just doesn't jibe with mine since he goes to the gym so early and works so early. Tomorrow I have to teach a very short class in Richmond, TX and then get to Stefano's gig at 3pm; they're opening up for an all-day harmonica clinic at the same place I was at last night. We'll take a break after he's done and then return that night for some of the concerts and we'll play in the all-star jam finale. Should be tons of fun! Sunday: a day of rest, though we might go to the science museum w/li'l bro to see the exhibit on Magic! I love magic!!!
