Late, But...

I wanted to at least log this before I filed and/or lost some things...

Went with Ana G., Claire, Brad Currie. A small venue, pretty crowded. The Real Nasty, a three piece led by a singing acoustic bassist opened. Fun show and I enjoyed the new/rare songs. Camera didn't work too well. Hung out pre-show mainly with Frank.

August 27 - Sand City Festival
Made it to a street faire, akin to an art/wine fest or corn fest but for renewable energy in Monterey. Took the whole fam, which was tough as the kids were tired/bored/freezing. From my memory:

Hail Hail

Great sound, weird to sit through it all though wonderful to introduce Heather to Bill and Frank (such warm greetings) and show off the children. An hour set with good reception, though people were there to see Jackie Greene. He played for 75 minutes, half Dead covers and was a fine, solid set but nothing to write home about. I still think T&S owned the day. Very cold by dinner time and a bit of a wash when it came to whether we should have even made the trip.

Later that week, I came down with a cold and stayed home from school. While home, I figured I should see a Giants/Cubbies game and on Wednesday, August 31, there was a game at AT&T at 1:00. Just so happened that T&S sang the national anthem ;) BARTed in (bought a $2 seat sect. 330 the day before with $10 in fees), filmed them singing (BEAUTIFUL) and then charged into their section to sit and hang out all afternoon (section 113 or something, right behind home plate). Enjoyed good company, mainly with Scotty and his wife and friends but a little after with Walker, Bill and Tim. A fun day, indeed!!!

This blog is too hard to maintain. Keeping it but with no promises...
