Stop and go traffic from Long Beach to Oxnard!

On the heels of the busiest monday was the crappiest tuesday. Without boring details, it sucked donkey nads.

So then I go and do something stupid. I cancel a full day of work and three local gigs to play a 'showcase' in LA and a festival in Ventura with the Leadbirds. I thought we were getting paid in Ventura but after arriving for rehearsal, it appears not to be the case. But the showcase was well worth it and it went well. We played great and the bulk of the people there, a fully packed house at 'the joint' on pico blvd (bit of a dive with a stellar vip lounge), were there for us and left before the next band came on! Bam!

Fortunately for me, my friend Dennis is a gig-magnet. Like in the same way that Crosby is a chick magnet, Dennis is a gig magnet. Like for instance, I jump in his car this morning to go get breakfast and in the time it takes to get there I land two additional *paid* gigs for the weekend from random phone calls he received along the way. So I will make up all the hundreds of dollars lost this week on the coming weekend. A country gig in Bakersfield in front of thousands of people sat. night and an R&B gig in Santa Monica Sun. morning with a smokin band.

If only him and Crosby could switch traits for a day.........
