Carell, Dan , Jamie (Dan's friend in town visiting) and I went to Capital City Grill after work yesterday for dinner and drinks. Holly Bof met us. They ate and I waited for Holly. We both order salads. A bug was discovered and no more eating. We left for Happy's so Jamie could have a Holligan. Dang! It was so strong, I took a sip. Just one drink there then off to Red Star. Walking down third street I hear music and say, "I like that band". I walk a little onto the street so that I can look up and see who is playing on the balcony of B & Ts. It is Cam Pyle!!! In my hood! I get to hear him without taking a road trip on a Sunday night! Plans change immediately. We rush upstairs and straight onto the balcony. And our welcomed with a friendly "Spanish Town!"...that is what he calls me. He was beginning the last hour of a 5 hour set. How could we have missed this? Damn. As usual, we make many requests. He plays them all. It was such a treat to stumble across him downtown, it made my night. We went to Red Star after Cam wrapped for a drink and a shot to celebrate with Matt W (finished his thesis and will defend it on Wednesday - Wednesday will be round two of the party). Then Home for an early night. It is storming here today and I am sad for all of my friends who are planning a drive down to NOLA for Jazz Fest.

Another exciting night in the big city, I see. Running into the band sounds like a very pleasant surprise.
Good luck to Matt on the thesis defense.
