walking out of the Aladdin the other night, after seeing M. Ward (who was far too much Tom Waits-ish for my tastes) I heard some loud thuds from down the street. So, I look and find this scene:
Two kids on bikes, riding down the street, pedaling through and intersection.
The one in front, closest to the row of cars, starts to coast, extends his foot towards the cars he is approaching, and then...[THUD] "Ohhhh!" as he rams his foot into the rear view mirror. I couldn't believe I was even seeing this happening. They kicked every car in the line. Yikes. I had to cross the street right in front of them. I'm glad I look mildly imposing.
Saw Al DiMeola a few nights before that. The man is a master. The only thing; he used guitar synth for the whole show, and not a lot of different patches, just 4 he switched back and forth from.
Victor Wooten is on Thursday. Glen Philips is on Saturday.
Oh yeah, my cousin Chris got secretly married and just told me tonight. Allow me to say that again. He secretly got married, didn't tell any of the family, including his parents (and hers) until today. And didn't tell me. Did I mention he didn't tell me or Buddy?
