I've been traveling lately. Eating up miles of highway going down to LA to rehearse and perform with PEOPLE (or www.myspace.com/peoplerock). I mostly listen to NPR.
I mostly travel alone.
But I did get to go to the Fillmore to see Blondie in San Francisco. Their keyboardist (since 2008), is Matt Katz-Bohen, guitarist/singer for Daddy and Feast of Friends (Ty Dennis and Shawn Pelton have both played on drums with FoF). I recently did a show down at Molly Malone's with Ty, Matt, Chad Dinzes and the man behind Go Green Expo in LA, Bradford Rand. He invited me to the Fillmore show. I was excited to take my wife out since we haven't gone out to a show together in years (we have a young son...) Anyway the only shows I see are ones that share the stage with us that night, or festivals if they give us a general admission pass... (like Dfest I got to see Zappa plays Zappa. It was brilliant. Roto used to jam with Dweezel in Joe's Garage back in the 90's).
So it was great to see a friend play with some living legends and to get in free with backstage passes. We left our son, James, at his Aunt's house with his Uncle and cousin. He waited until we returned home at 12:30am... for a little man used to 9pm bedtime, he was holding up pretty good. The next day my buddy Gibson witnessed him oscillate from being meek to throwing a huge tantrum in 20 minutes... It was an interesting next day.
