I woke up in a daze to an alarm i dont recall setting.
Casselmans bar and venue, Colorado music buzz showcase. Last night started out great. A few Jameson and coke's, some talented local artists. The A-OK's, Alan Baird Project, White Leather (one armed singer/guitarist), indigenous peoples, and more i dont recall now.
It occurred to me after two or three drinks, that i had only eaten a small meal in the morning, maybe i should slow down, take it easy on the drinks, but i quickly talked myself out of that....... All the bands absolutely rocked, although im not particularly interested in Ska, The A-OK's played very well, and everyone seemed to get into it. Im partial to The alan Baird Project, (mostly because i tattoo them, and we're all close friends haha) but they never disappoint, it amazes me the raw talent each of them possess. The other bands were hip hop more or less (which has been increasingly popular since the rise of the flobots out of denver) definitely fun to listen to....
By the second to last (of six) bands played, i was deep in a shitstorm of Pabst Blue Ribbon (damn two dollar pint night). The more I drank, the more of a walking social network i became. It seemed right last night, to make friends, network, chat, joke, and be merry, in retrospect, i was shitfaced, and probably not as funny as i might have thought i was. Plus, how impressive could i have looked trying to sell myself, and my business to strangers, while barely able to stand. It's like a insurance agent trying to sell you a policy while he's throwing up........
Thanks to my friend max, who probably has more experience in the "out of control, drunken evening" department, i've learned NEVER to apologize for the night before, (unless you reallllllly fucked up) because its never as bad as you might assume...... or maybe it is, who cares!
One way or another, fun was had by most, my lovely lady picked me up, and i sincerely enjoyed the company of such great people. Im at work on time (not that it matters) and im still alive! couldnt ask for much more. (something to settle my stomach would be nice)
