At long last, after several months on the new lay out, my blogger has buttons to upload stuff...in case you were wondering why there hasnt been many photos or videos. Today is the 1st time I see them here. Of course, you can't see them but I can and that's all that really matters here.

Tomorrow will be the first time I've seen Ratdog playing together since January!
Flying up to Spokane in the morning!

Last night headed up to SF, to find Coda. Not hard to find as the club is located almost on the corner of Mission & Duboce. Finding parking was a notches harder to do, but soon enough we found a spot and were getting our hands stamped and suveying the scene.
The club was half full when we got there. Everyone looking nice.
Coda is newly opened and contemporary. Not very big but efficient and fresh. The small stage was hidden behind a curtain. The drinks were terrific and the food looked good.
The crowd was happy. Saw many friends. Schmoozed til the music started.
The first set was the mellow acidy jazz. The 2nd set was more hip hop jazz with the fellows- CB & Gabriel stepping in and rapping it up. Jay played an enormous drum solo somewhere in there and everyone cheered. Jeff & Kenny were right there too. A fine evening- over too soon!

Alphabet Soup tonight!

Coda on Mission in good old San Francisco.
The band (which includes Jeff , Jay & Kenny) goes on at 10 pm
I'll see you there!

Hey Now!

For me, it's been the Summer of crazy! My computer blew about a month ago and I have been using an ipod touch, an iMac from 1999, a cheapie Acer netbook and for the last week, my husband's PC. Blogger's been weird too. Apparently I cannot seem to C & P too much here anymore. OY!
...
Also, it's been a long time since I've seen any Bobby or Ratdoggers play. That will be changing very soon! YAY!
Tomorrow night, I hope to get out to the Mission to catch Alphabet Soup with Jeff Chimenti, Jay Lane and Hurrah! Kenny Brooks (in town at last!) .
I'm happy to say I'll be hitting the Spokane Ratdog show on the 25th. Very excited as it has been ages (Jamaica!) since I've been to a Ratdog show and longer than ages since I've gone off to a new place on my own for a show. It turned out that the Los Angeles Greek RD show falls on my dad's birthday . Earlier this Summer, my dad was hospitalized - ICU for a week. He's been doing better but this is a birthday I really want to share with him. Scott & I will slip down to Pozo's for that show as soon as birthday festivities finish.
But you know, I can't just see one show. I love travelling- booking flights, researching hotels, I had a little change left over from my last Dogdaze payment and decided to head to the great North West. I'd been to Portland and to Seattle but not to Spokane. Someone on some message board was wondering how come Spokane wasnt getting attention from fans since the venue is said to be so nice. Well, that just turned my head and I decided Spokane is the place I want to see my guys play. It will be my 97th Ratdog show. I can't think of a better reason to go to Spokane!
As I said, we will also be heading to Pozo's! I'm a little scared since it was insanely hot there a few years ago...but it's the closest o the Bay Area (lol, it's half way to LA!) and the following day is a holiday. Whatever- I am looking forward to being with Scott. We travel well together- except for when he drives too fast and I freak out. I'll just wear blinders!
...
Also coming up- The new Furthur group!! Three nights in Oakland! With a little luck we will get tickets for a few of those shows. Unable to make all of them as my kid is moving away to college on that Sunday.

Phil & Bobby!!!
And
Jeff, Jay, John & Joe!
