concert review numero uno.

whew... it's 8:00 am.... and all i can think about is cheese burgers.. and mustard.... and pickles



not really.. i'm sitting at the shop, waiting on my esteemed colleague to arrive.. he, no doubt, slept through his alarm again,, and likely won't be here until around nine thirty.. if there was a couch around here that was longer than four feet,,, i might take a little nap... otherwise it's computer games and stale donuts for the next hour and a half....

i had this whole idea a few weeks ago where i was going to start subjecting my readers to concert reviews... every concert i go to... and the first one was jeff beck.. which i attended earlier this month.. i had about three pages worth of material to write about the show... but it's all gone now.. i will say that the man has more control over his guitar than possibly anyone i've ever seen.. and he played an amazing version of "somewhere over the rainbow"... that was in no way, shape, or form considered gay by anyone in attendance... also,, i fell in love that night,,, with his bass player.. Rhonda Smith... amazing.. AMAZING... at first i was disappointed because i was expecting Tal Wilkenfeld to be there... (coincidentally, the young white female bass player that i've been in love with for the past two years.....) sorry tal,,, you've been replaced.. Rhonda's the only woman for me now... actually,, it was short-lived... about 20 youtube videos into my obsession and it's all but over... I'm still head over heels for Aubrey Plaza though... I think it's because of the lack of videos out there for her..... she's left me hungry for more... a smart tactic....

anyway,, the concert was great.. to top it off, i went to the bathroom (finally,, nearly urinated on myself) and as i was washing my hands, my uncle walked in!! weird... I hardly ever see this uncle,,, the last time i saw him he had come to a place i was playing at and struck up a conversation with the drunkest dude in the bar... they stood there babbling in each other's faces for at least 2 hours... the time before that i was at the dallas guitar festival watching the "all star jam",,, and when the lights came on,, he was two rows in front of me!!! we obviously have the same taste in music.... anyway,, upon greeting each other, he hugged me,,, in the bathroom... i think everyone else in the bathroom was a little weirded out by it..

well... i should get to work.. i think the boss just walked in the front door...



later...
