Played tonight for a packed house at Old Bowie Town Grill. Bob runs a great joint and having a club owner that's a musician is always a plus. Saw many old friends and made a couple new ones. Notables include Norma Jean and her friend Reeeeneeee (smile to say it!), Zach's grandfolks, Curt with some GREAT blown up pictures from The Country Store, Tom from Zach Sweeney and the Old Weenies (2nd best band name ever!), and the punk rock grrrl at the bar that left before I could say hi. The always effervescent Poxons were also present to bring Andy out to open up for us. Great people, great show, great response, great, great, great. And I didn't even have to play that much. In other news, thanks to Allison for letting me borrow her "NORML" shirt. We decided it's the sorta' thing that you don't kinda' get.
Also, I'd like to have a cheap wireless laptop that lets me have a browser on the road. It should also have a Kerouac. "Why?" you ask. Well, so I can update this hunk of the interstate every day (...I wake up before 4). So, if these troubling times have you down and you have an extra potable interweb box lying (laying, lieing..?) around, give me a holler.
Kelley, out!

Hey Matt ... so thrilled to see that I/we made a big enough impression to be noted on your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteHad a GREAT time and enjoyed meeting you as well! Looking forward to coming down to MD again to hang with Norma Jean and possibly hear you guys play again too!
