Went to the Saucer to see The Dempseys tonight. They seemed to be having a really good night, lots of fun. They brought up a Japanese singer to do a couple of Elvis songs, and he rocked it, the moves and everything. Then he turned to Joe the bass player and said, “Why are you so hyper all the time? … I know, Viagra.”
Later in the evening Joe got in a classic quote himself: “I secondhand smoke two packs a day playing this place.” Well said. I feel ya, bro.
In other news… the Nuh-Uh Girl finally talked me into signing up for Facebook. I haven’t done much with my profile yet other than sign up, so there’s not much there to see. But if you’re on Facebook and want to be my friend, hit up my paul@paulryburn.com e-mail address. Looking forward to using Facebook, especially since they’ve embraced open source and a lot of cool Facebook apps (widgets) are under development. I resisted MySpace for a long time too but in the year and a half I’ve been a member I’ve used it to get job opportunities and to meet a couple of second cousins I never even knew I had. Despite what Otto says, MySpace is not evil, nor is Facebook.
So, after the Dempseys finished, I moseyed over to EP’s. You remember how I posted earlier in the day that I might go to EP’s? Well, surprise, surprise, my stalker was there. She didn’t know how to dance to ’80s music but DAMN she can wear some jeans. Hung out at the upstairs bar, watched the Michael Jackson Dance Party (which used to happen at another Downtown location, and on a different night of the week) and drank a couple of beers.
Hooper gave me a tour of Hoop’s Bar, scheduled to open in a little more than a week. They just have to put the finishing touches in place. He told me that Downtowners will have a chance to personalize the bar. Can’t wait for it to open.
Speaking of EP’s… next Monday night, their Monday Night Football extravaganza will be graced with the presence of East Bumblefuck Kat. She’ll not only be watching the game, but celebrating her 27th birthday. I look forward to catching up with Kat, buying her a birthday beer and finding out what’s going on in the Dirty Dova.
Been a great day… job interview via phone went VERY well this afternoon. I’m excited about that, and looking forward to a great Halloween weekend. My goal is to fill the camera with pictures (it holds approximately 400). I have the camera battery and spare battery charged, so I’m ready.
After 3. Guess I’ll go to bed now.
