Where’s Summer?

Posted on May 23, 2004

Graffiti’s in North Austin has truly become my home bar. Joe and Debby are just the best! Last night’s show was great and I had such a good time with the songs and the crowd.

Thank you to all the really cool folks who came out last night. Hmmmm…Where’s Summer? Kris? Yep… LAME!! I missed y’all. AGAIN. It’s all good though. There were several folks out last night who were Kia Newbies. Actually, the majority of the crowd was made up of folks who had not seen me perform before at all. Maybe heard me online, but not live. Thanks a lot for coming.

I think Joe and I determined that out of the entire night, there were only 4 people who came in that were not there to see me. Not bad. Some folks showed up that I didn’t even know at all! Good times, for sure.

Jeff Jacoby sat in on The Kind That Stays, Broken Spoke, The SF Anchored Heart Daniel Medley, and Weather Man. Man it was fun. The sound was a bit rough without someone mixing it for us, but we learned our lesson.

Tennille, Jeff’s girlfriend took some great pictures. They’re up at the Photo Gallery now.

John Medina did a superb opening set for me and impressed Joe enough to let him take my slot on the 25th since I will probably be working that night or out of town heading to Louisville. (More on Louisville this week as it progresses.)

Before the show, I got to run to A.D.’s birthday bash down at Pok-e-Joe’s. I was volunteering for SIMS with the newest member of the SIMS family, Emily.

During that time, I was very fortunate to meet my very first Austin, BMI rep, Jill McGluckin. Man, she’s so cool! We talked about a lot of different things and we are going to plan a lunch soon. I just happened to have a copy of the DEMO with me…(of course) and so she seemed really excited to hear the song that Jody played on the air, Broken Spoke.

But I made it home in enough time to run through the songs that Jeff was going to sit in with me and then off to the show. Again - Thanks to everyone who made it out. I hope to see more of you at the next Austin gig - Carousel Lounge!!

Peace -
