Chevy Metal/Birds of Satan

When: Friday, June 27, 2014
Where: Joe's Great American Bar & Grill, Burbank CA
Accompanied by: Tiff, Jazz & Mark (special thanks to Daryth M for saving my ass)
Genre: Rock N Roll

Another one of those crazy opportunities that popped up...announced on the Chevy Metal/Birds of Satan Facebook page the day before the show, we figured what the hell and threw caution to the wind and took our chances despite being told that chances were slim to none by driving out there immediately after work.





I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Daryth for saving my ass on this one...the craziness behind this little gig was that tickets were via scavenger hunt only. The goal was to keep the crowd small and intimate. Totally understandable.  However, when it came time for those last few tickets to be distributed, I must have blinked.  Regardless of what transpired, it all worked out and I was able to get a ticket into the show.  




I have to hand it to Joe's - they did not over distribute the number of tickets for this free gig. Oh, yeah, did I mention it was free??  Man, do I like free.







One of the evenings highlights was Nate Mendel taking the stage to perform with CM/BOS for a song. Always a treat!!

And of course since it was a small show...I had an opportunity to upgrade a new photo w/ Mr. Hawkins....

Marcus Miller

When: Thursday, June 19, 2014
Where: Catalina Bar & Grill, Hollywood CA
Accompanied by: KJ
Genre: Jazz

Birthday dinner celebration for "he who endures my madness."  Catalina Bar & Grill is a great venue, despite the outrageous prices for food and drinks...small and intimate and not a bad seat in the house.  I've seen Marcus Miller a few times - of all the jazz artists that the other half likes, I truly enjoy this one. All in all, a good night.

Eagles of Death Metal

When: Saturday, June 7, 2014
Where: Pappy & Harriets, Pioneertown, CA
Accompanied by: Tiff & Anthony
Genre: Rock/Desert Rock


June. Summer. Hot. Desert. Enough said.  But a damn good night all the same.

The upside is this was the first road trip for Bellatrix and she drove like the champ that she is. The other upside was that I got to spend the evening with my 2 favorite girls, Tiffany and Anthony.

No set list. No photos. Just memories of a really good time.
