Okay, so where to begin? I went to see Leslie Hall! Soo exciting.. I totally missed her the last time she was in San Diego. I wish I had stuck around to see if I could meet her after the show. I almost did, but seriously… The public? I hate them. At least the portion of them that were next to me during Leslie’s performance. I was pushed, shoved, stomped on, had beer slung at me, smacked in the head… I could go on, but it just feels like bitching. I really did have an awesome time. I think it’s just how people get at a show, all self centered… I may just be to old for that type of thing anymore. I don’t ‘get it’ with all the selfish abandon so I just get really pissed. So we ducked out as soon as she left the stage for real. I think Richard and I were both done.

Anyway, back to the beginning. The night started out pretty good. We were, as usual when we go to the Casbah, tragically early. Some other folk were pretty early too, so we got to chatting and actually hung out with them during the opening acts. Then I thought I saw a local blogger. In fact as time passed I was positive. I totally almost said hi or something, but I didn’t. I mean, it’s not someone I *know* online so I figured it would be creepy of me. Plus I think he was on a date. Awww… Anyhoo, so yeah. Microphone Mike was first. They (he?) rocked. I loved the crazy retro thing they had going. Could have heard more from them. Next was Bunky. I wanted to like them. I did. I like them from what I listened to on MySpace. But dood. They were so loud. Then really quiet, then super really loud. I thought the glass on my iPhone was gonna shatter. My hair vibrated at one point. It was just loud.

Then Leslie and the Lys came on and it was pure genius. Seeing her live is just… wow. Richard took a ton of pictures. He’s crazy like that. Crazy for me! LOL. Okay I am gettin’ punchy. Time for bed. Here’s my 2 favorite shots of the evening… I’ll get the rest on Flickr tomorrow sometime.

UPDATE: Pictures on Flickr..

OMG. I am sooo hopped up on coffee right now. Apparently 3 cups is too much for me.. At least with my new dietary efforts. *twitch* I was trying to get motivated to go to the gym, but clearly that is not happening today. The internet offers too many distractions after a night offline. Heh. But last night was delicious. I was sitting in front of the fire with a good book and a cup of tea. Oh, and a cat in my lap. Cozy! I think that may be the plan for tonight too, but I need to check my local TV listings first. I cannot go around missing my American Idol! I wonder when our Idol gatherings start up again?? After auditions? Hollywood? Hmm… I’ll have to ask Fred, our Cruise Director.

Speaking of absolutely nothing, Leslie and the Lys are coming to town!! I adore Leslie Hall and I couldn’t believe I missed her the last time she was here in San Diego. I don’t know what possessed me to look at The Casbah’s upcoming schedule, but I am glad I did! We are going to see Leslie Hall!! In case you are not sure who she is:

Leslie and the Lys. I cannot EVEN wait till March!
