The big problem with sucking down Diet Coke all night is that all that caffeine takes its toll when you finally do crawl into bed..body wiped out but mind still sputtering and spinning...and so we move on to day 2 of the big weekend bright and early...
...........
Left with Kemmie before 5pm...Light traffic all the way through the city and Marin...Sweetwater was full of regulars..We did the ritual of trying to figure out which would be the best seating arrangement and after taking over a table, the side bar stools we ended up sitting by Bob the taper for the show..
In the hours before a show, Sweetwater is just like a private party, if you're making use of yourself or buying drinks (diet coke) there is no line- just come on in..no line duty most of the time.
So, the hours before the show were spent schmooozin with all the usual and unusual suspects!
It was one of the best parties I've been to in months!! The backdrop of MK,Robin, Jimmy, JT buzzing through the room between set up chores stirred everyone up even more.
............
The performances were flat out stellar- absolutely hated for it to end!
