It's really late -- or early, from senior citizens' perspective -- but I just got home not long ago. Was over at my buddy Karlin's place playing music, watching TV, talking about music, drinking alcohol, and laughing. He and Tracy are awesome people. I was over there for about 11 hours straight. They fed me dinner. And in chatting about stuff, we had such a good time that it just about outdid what probably should have been the highlight of the weekend: my first gig with the band I joined last month, the Usual Suspects.
Great group, great gig. People really seemed to enjoy theirselves (edit: themselves!). And thank goodness I had a bunch of friends come out to see it. John and Dad came together. Jo and Steph came together. Todd, Whitney and Sheri came together. Chris came by himself. Jan came by himself. So that's nine people! That is a lot, I think, especially since this show was in Arbutus, Maryland, and everyone I brought in lives out of state: five from PA, two from D.C. and two from Virginia. Quite a few miles were traveled just to see this band that none of them had ever seen before. And all these people stayed til it was all over and the place was closing down! An incredible gig it was. Musically, awesome. I just have to figure out a way to get my damn keyboard to stay up when I'm moving it around without a concern in the world.
