Wednesday 6am, my alarm jolted me out of bed after a couple obligatory visits to the snooze button. A lot of the usual stuff followed shortly thereafter: shower, clothes, coffee, driving and another hectic day at the office. With me so far? Good. 4pm rolls around and I drive home slowly due to typical Southern California traffic. With every intention of taking a nap, I get home and am unable to sleep. Hmmm, what to do? If you guessed Madden, give yourself a gold star. 50 minutes later, after whooping Minnesota 35-17, it was certainly nap time. I closed the curtains, shut the door, cranked up the fan, set an alarm for 8pm and crawled into bed. Somewhere along the way I am joined by my favorite napping companion, my napping mentor as a matter of fact- she's a pro napper. My alarm wakes me (again) and I lay there watching tv for a bit (apparently it was turned on mid-nap by the pro). After a long, hot shower, I put in the big earrings (sorry...REALLY big earrings) and proceeded to my closet to find my 7k attire, or APPAREL if you will...LOL! I tied my tie as I walked to the kitchen to start my coffee. The smell of coffee further spurred my same-day deja vu. 9:15pm as I hopped into my truck and headed to the venue. I made a promise to myself that I'd avoid cussing in the blogs on this page, which forces me to skip telling you about parking at the venue. I unloaded, staged my stuff on the patio of the Blue Cafe and greeted some faithful friends. Coming to see us play in Long Beach, late on a Wednesday night is surely a sign of true love. After some chit-chat and a beer to counteract my coffee, we loaded-in, sound-checked our gear and dove right in. According to my onstage iPod (which generates all our tempos, like a digital metronome by the way) we started playing at 11:23pm. We struck our last notes 45 minutes later. So you see, the show started on a Wednesday and ended on a Thursday. And, THAT'S a two day show...kinda.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone that came out to see us last night/this morning. It means more than you know.
Love.
