Coral is back from Sasquatch and she has a whole list of new favourite bands.
Main stage, Day 1, first act…. Allen Stone. Allen is a soul/R&R singer originally from a small town in Washinton State and now based out of Seattle. I tracked down a song called “Unaware” that features maximum flute. I really like this loungy style for both my set at Veneto and as the internal soundtrack raging though my head when I am strutting the strip in Vegas.

When Coral first played him for me last night… I didn’t really get it… but I put him on while working today and got into the groove.

I am already for Vegas… got my suit together. I bought a bow-tie (bow-tie’s are so hawt right now), white shoes, travel medical insurance (I was gunna skip this but Coral has stories and I plan on hiking / walking through the desert so you know… keeps you guys from having to rally at future fundraiser to pay the medical bills when I am forced to chop my own arm off after I fall into a canyon and am trapped for 127 hours.).
Rented a Kia Rio! SWA? baller.
My Mom gave me $100 and Coral did manage to come home with a fistful of singles… so that will be tips for strippers or gambling money. Gambling money will probably be a better ROI considering I’m a married 32-year-old father with grey hair that DJs weddings. If I can get lucky like Natalie, I’ll turn that $100 into $700 playing penny slots. then me and Jevon are going to eat a tower of Seafood! mmmm desert seafood. Oh and Coral wants a purse! Maybe I’ll have to take that $700 I win on penny slots and put it on Red to make it $1400? no wait! black!
Couple more days of work. A Friday at Veneto, Saturday DJing at the 24 Hour Relay for Kids then I am heading to the desert where the weather has been consistently in the 30s for the past while and heading into next week, with a few 40s sprinkled in for good measure.
Go with yourself.
