Columbo Hall 7/7

forget james brown as the hardest working man in show bidness...allow me to introduce you to the joe alvarez band, a philipino man/wife team, singing every pop tune on the planet. there was more electronic hardware than an officemax. the amazing thing: they completely pulled it off. one of the best performances ive ever seen.

Sequoia Brewing Company 6/30

see that dude on the right? MASSIVE armpit sweat. i took this pic early in the game, so youll have to take my word for it. the sweat rings actually went to the top of his shoulders, i crap you not. the dude to the left? his voice was so high, i looked over at him several times because i thought it was a chick who was talking (not many gals in the pubs, you know).

Buca Di Beppo 6/25

never heard of this place, but apparently its a chain. good italian food. no, i didnt have a beer, the empty glass, there, used to hold a chard. every female within earshot complained that it was too cold in the building. shocking...women being cold.

Rumba Latin Fusion 6/23

my bass and the weekly jazz gig that i have with a couple of guys. you cant see it, but the last song we played that night was 'spain' by chick corea. one of the hardest pieces for a bass player to play (i screwed the pooch with it, i dont mind telling you). the blue moon beer seemed to enjoy himself though.
