Late, late, late...


The Ladies had a hell of a show the other night. We were at the Hard Luck and we went on a little after the sun went down so it was a little cooler than when the openers went on. Still hot as shit but cooler.



We kinda whipped it. After a couple of months without shows and a couple of rehearsals before this one we were ready to kill. And we did. We even pulled out a new one we'd worked up a pretty cool arrangement on. Right before the peak we layer each instrument on before all of us and pounding away at it while BC and I are howling at full volume.



Good sweaty fun.

I made the hot as hell drive to San Antonio solo. Since it was a holiday weekend the driving was extra stupid and cops were everywhere. 35 was loaded with them.


After a couple of hours I made it to the Paper Tiger, we were going on second to last at a BBQ festival called "The Meat Sweats". I'd hoped for some sides and I was starving when I got there. But all of the stands only had meat, no sides. Shit. The Greek place across the street was closed and the taco stand wasn't by the strip club... It's tough being a vegetarian at a meat festival.


Anyway, we went on after the Beaumonts and had a decent but very sweaty set. The club has garage style doors and they were open, Jesus it was hot. I actually wore the sportcoat for the first song, idiot. I was melting. At a couple of points it might have looked like I was grooving along with my eyes closed. Not the case. The sweat was burning them and I couldn't keep them open.



Texas in summer.

I was the shortest Bigfoot Chester set ever. I was three songs shoved in between the Giblets and the Ice Cold Singles sets at the Hard Luck. Long story for a little bit of playing.

I got a call from Bill Anderson saying the Giblets were playing a show and didn't quite have enough tunes to cover it. Since three of them are three-fourths of Bigfoot it made for an easy transition. I didn't bring anything but my bass and some cables. We did three songs, I got three free beers and paid the next night! Winner!!!
