Incredible Day!!!
The Ladies had 2 gigs...one with Dana Fuchs & another with Billy Cliff both sold out and within 30 minutes of each other, so it was gonna be a long day :-)
I started out eating soup...yes soup! LOL Jenny asked I said no and she said you are eating soup....I didnt argure :-)
We started out in traffic trying to get to the Lincoln and then again on the Holland....reminds me again why I will be doing public transportation.
We made it to the Highline Ballroom and there was already a small line, reminds me of every GA concert I have ever been too. If the show is at 8p we are there at 5....am that is not pm....insanity I know.
I will admit I had never heard Dana's music until a few days ago and I really like it. I watched the girls sound check for a while and then we went upstairs right before doors. It was fun hanging out meeting different musicians. Listening to every talk about what they had done and what they would be doing.
The girls ordered me a dinner, thanks Dana, and everyone just hung out till show time.
I stood side stage during the show and it was great! Way different view from out front and I loved it! Dana did a great show! I need to buy her CD, but I didn't have time I had to go get the car. Since the girls had to be at the next gig within about 15 mins I went to get the car and have it waiting.
Viv has a Hybrid, that except for a few different ways of shifting is like any other car, but its still new and we all know I'm not the best driver, so it makes me nervous. I asked the guys in front of the club if I could park out front and they said yes. LOL although after getting the car from the garage he said my parallel parking skills sucked! Too funny, normally I'm really good, but um yeah I admit I sucked!
Once the girls came out we were off to the Sugar Bar for the Billy Cliff Experience. I had seen the rehearsal for this show on Wednesday, OK well the parts I was awake for, and I was pretty excited to see the show.
After parking we climbed the stairs to the dressing room, NY is full of stairs good grief! The girls changed and looked amazing as usual and down the stairs we went. The Sugar Bar apparently is owned by Ashford & Simpson, so the sign said. Its small for the "club" portion, they really need to knock down some walls and move things around, but it worked. I stood off to the side of the "stage" which was also the kitchen area so i was in peoples way, a lot, but there were TV's where i could watch what was going on. Another fantastic show.
These ladies are amazing I have to say, I love watching them work. What is really did was make me never want to go home...which I know is not a possibility right now. Gotta get the kid graduated and liquidate the house...but when i get back I will be starting the process!
On to day 5!!!
