Expectations...

Last night was cool...but...not what I was expecting! Or, maybe, it's not so much of what I was "expecting" as what I was "hoping" for. There IS a difference.

When I got to da Vinci's, Stacy & Madison weren't there yet but Kelli, John & Carrie were. It was pretty cold so the band was inside (normally they play outside in the courtyard). I went in & sat with Kelli & them. Very close quarters & it was pretty warm in there. But...The Cook Trio...were AMAZING!! "Gypsy Jazz" is what it implies. It's old-time (20s-40s era) jazz redone with a Gypsy flair. And most of it was of a French influence. No lyrics--just music. Normally, I don't like music without lyrics. The lyrics are what *speak* to me. But these guys were just awesome! Loved it!! I debated on buying their CD but it's not the kind of music I'd listen to on any given day so I decided against it. I missed their 1st set since I didn't get there til 8 but I heard the whole 2nd set. However, by the end of that, I was way too hot, Stacy & them were in the courtyard & I needed a smoke since I'd finished my 1st Woodchuck & was getting a 2nd. So I left Kelli & them & went outside. They all stayed for the last set & then left.

Once I was a part of Stacy's group, I got to hear one of her friend's songs she's trying to get released. It's rap. Dirty rap...LOL. But she sounded SO good & I can easily imagine these 2 songs that I heard becoming hits if she can ever just get her break!! TOO FUNNY!! I'm becoming a lightweight so by the time I finished my 2nd Woodchuck, I just wanted to go to sleep!! :/ I was home before midnight.

John is supposed to come over sometime today & put Sebastian's scratching post together for me. Other than that, I plan on doing absolutely NOTHING today!! Staying in my jammies even! ;-) I shoulda probably done laundry but...I'll wait til Thursday. I just don't wanna. lol
