Nuclear Whales!
Tonight was a great night. All though I worked a little over 9 hours, and ended up getting home around 6pm, we had plans tonight to go out to a concert. So at 8pm we headed downtown to see the Nuclear Whales, who are probably one of the only saxophone orchestras in existence. My family and I have been paying attention to this band for about 6 to 7 years now, since they first played at my elementary school for some reason or other. Since then, we have been to every concert of theirs in Santa Cruz (generally one once a year) at the local jazz place, and we keep going back. Despite the fact that the show doesn't change all that much from year to year, it's very enjoyable each time. They even recognized us this time and made various comments about us being their stalkers! ^_^ Got to see the contrabass (a 6'8", 257 lb saxophone!) again, and each time it amazes me. Afterwards stuck around for a bit and talked to one of the members, Kevin Stewart, who was a really cool guy. Not that the other members of the band aren't, but we didn't get to talk to them, so... yeah... Anyway, lots of fun, sleep time now.
