Night out

So I don't normally go out till 1am on a work night, but last night warranted it, and it was PHENOMENAL. Anyone who hasn't listened to my advice and checked out Andy Wagner (http://www.rockproper.com/) and http://www.andywagner.net/ is seriously missing out. Always a great performer, great voice, and awesome friend. Last night at the Heartland Cafe was no less fun!

With all my stress lately, this is exactly what I needed. We made a pact to not talk about work, and would be constantly cutting each other off if we started it. At 1am we decided to finally bail the bar, and my Taxi Sweet spot continues! So far that is 4 people I have been able to hail a cab for almost instantly, including myself this morning because I was dragging a little getting out of the house.

Free Friday!

well, not completely. I've got the obligatory medical attentions to appease this morning, but I wasn't as organized about getting other things for the day scheduled when I would have liked them.

So, I am spending this afternoon as a stress decompress, and going to replace a pair of pants that have gone beyond their shelf life, run errands, etc. and the best part - hit up the library, and another set by Andy Wagner at The Hideout. Seriously, if by now you haven't checked out www.rockproper.com to get a full, high quality download of his newest album, I don't know why I'm still talking to you! :)

Now going on week 2 of being completely car ownership free. It hasn't been a difficult switch, except for the days where I need ( ok ok WANT) to go places a little out of the convenience of direct cta access. But, I'm still for the most part getting where I want to.

Now on to new digital toy shopping - a new hearing aid! I think i should be able to trump out any digital junkies. They get to buy more stuff for the amount I have to shell out for an aid, but I can wear it every day.

New Bands!

Last night I met up with some friends at the bar down the block (RED LINE TAP) to hear some bluegrass tunes from a group Strangely named SexFists. You'd have no idea their music based on the name.. and maybe that was their idea. Anywhoo... with great $2.50 specials and fun music, I had a blast.

I'm going back again tonight to listen to an AWESOME local singer, Andy Wagner - his new CD came out last week, and I'm excited to see how the sound translates live in a small venue.

http://www.rockproper.com/ is where his new CD is for free download - go go go now! If you like what you hear, his 2 other albums as well as this one are available on iTunes at a very reasonable price. Support local, GOOD artists!
