Sunday: Brunch w/li'l bro and Stefano. I haven't had much of an appetite since last week. I ate a couple bites of queso and couple bites of hummus, but I drank 2 of these $10 decadent lemon vodka drinks. Then Li'l bro and I went to see Jackass in 3D where we were both kinda tipsy so we laughed our asses off. Dropped off li'l bro, went home, passed out on the couch for a couple hours. That evening, went to hang out w/my new guitarist BFFF Jon at his place. Met Stefano after that back at my house.
Monday: Monthly sheriff meeting. Had to turn in my Taser, dammit, but they said if budget allows me to get it back in the future that will definitely happen. Disappointed Mudflap, et. al. when I said I couldn't go to dinner as I was gwine to the blues show at House of Blues. Met Stefano and Phillipo there, but the sound was so god awful we split early. Stefano went home, Phillipo and I went to the Big Easy. I was still a little hungover from the day before so made it a relatively early night.
Tuesday: For the Sake of the Song Premiere at the River Oaks. It was HUGE. Stefano met me at the theater and my dad was there, natch, videotaping, and it was just so cool and awesome. I've never seen the big theater that packed before. I also got to hug Vince Bell who I love and adore so so so much. It was a wonderful event and just so soul-fulfilling.
Wednesday: Rehearsal. I decided to drink ONLY wine all night. Then I went to the Cont. Club to meet Phillipo. We drank more wine there, then left my car and went to the klassic kuntry show at Fitz where we drank even more wine and danced. I also danced w/my Music Editor friend who was there. Then Phillipo and I went to the Big Easy, on the way to get my car blasting Willie Nelson and singing very loudly. We got to the BE just as the house band (incl. Jon) was finishing up. I bid Phillipo adieu and headed out w/Jon to go hang at his place.
Thursday: We played live on KPFT at noon and it was so much fun. After that we went to have a couple drinks before I had to head to work. Then I had to rush home after Job #2 and pray that I could figure out how to work my new amp/cabinet since we were hosting the monthly Houston Blues Soc. jam at Big Easy that night and as the house band, we have to supply the backline. I had to call Rozzy and he walked me through some of it. When I finally got everything plugged in and going, I checked that my next door neighbor wasn't home, plugged in Big Red, and WAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH. DAMN!!! That thing melted my own face off! I was floored and awed. And so excited! So Big Easy was a huge success--full dance floor, great crowd, and Stefano played and Phillipo and even my ex M showed up and lots of other pals and it was just a killer fun time. I danced some and jammed and drank... Stefano left early since he had to work today and when we closed out the night and played a last, quick set Jon showed up, having gotten a damn speeding ticket on the way from leaving his gig to hurry and come see us. We felt bad! But I went home w/him and hung out w/him til today so hopefully I cheered him up.
Tonight I was supposed to go see Chuck Prophet at the Cont. Club w/li'l bro but bro got a good deal to go see the Butthole Surfers in Austin, so now I'm not sure what I'll do. Stefano is waiting for me, of course. Jon is back at Big Easy tonight but I'm kinda wanting a break from there since I was there 3 times this week! I definitely need some kinda beauty sleep and I haven't been home ALL week and it would be great to just chill. This weekend I have nothing booked (except for a French pastry documentary tomorrow at the Museum of Fine Arts) and I'm so glad to get some down time, though I will be spending some major quality time w/Big Red and my new rig to become intimately familiar w/it and just work on some bass lines.
