Marshall, Carlos, Brandon, Alberto and I went to see Mike West play at the Kerry Pub the other night. Excellent show. I’m so glad everyone went. No matter how much I enjoy seeing a live show, it always makes me much happier to turn people on to something new. Alberto really enjoyed Sneaky Pete, Mike West’s sarcastic & mild mannered bass player and told Pete that they could be huge one day – “like a blue grass Tenacious D.” Sneaky Pete had no idea what ‘berto was talking about. :)

I don’t think Brandon knew what to make of it. I don’t see Brandon listening to Bluegrass very often, but I doubt there is anyone who could resist liking Mike and his music.

I took some pictures of the show, but I dropped the camera in the toilet and it must have shorted before I fished it out. (Yes I was drunk) I know it’s wrong on some level, but I’m going to bring it back to Wal-Mart and exchange it for a new one once the LCD screen clears up.

I bought the new CD, New South. Pick it up if you’re so inclined, it’s pretty good. My favorite of Mike’s CDs is still Redneck Riviera. Me O Mi is such a cool little song. Click below for some of Mike’s lyrics.

Ok, after some tinkering with the camera and reinstalling the drivers thirty times I got everything working as it should be. Be on the lookout for some crappy pictures on the right. I need to come up with a good template for my photoblog. I don’t really like the way it looks now. Hmmm. I hate CSS!

Well, we wound up naming the new kitty Lydia. I took me a while to warm up to it, but it?s starting to grow on me – mainly because I can now refer to them as Lyd & Play, which is so cute I can barely stand it.

Speaking of them, they?re getting along ok… Plato has this thing where he?ll bite you repeatedly until the spot he?s biting goes numb, then he?ll lick you there until it feels better again. I don?t think Lydia appreciates this.

I just realized I?m turning into one of those lame blogs where the person talks incessantly about their cats. Mental note: stop talking about cats.

I returned the camera last night and got a new one. The pictures still are coming out a little bizarre. They all have weird red or purple tints to them. Pretty, but not exactly what I want from it. I may end up taking this one back too. Hmmmm
