Sorry, I kinda flaked this weekend on the daily blog. However, it was a really busy weekend! Sorta upset I missed the Slightly stoopid show last night at Amos's southend. I heard they put on one hell of a show. Instead, I stayed in and watched the new Wallstreet. Pretty good flick, I think Shia Lebouf is a pretty good actor and gotta love Michael Douglas. Weather wise it was an amazing weekend. 82 degrees yesterday (Amazing). Took the dog on a 3 mile walk and went to the park too. Needless to say, he slept well last night. It's supposed to be another 80 degree day but were supposed to get some crazy thunder and lightening storms this evening. HOPE SO!:)
Big news: Added a new 12 in. Remo Leon Mobley signature model djembe to my collection!!! It is a beautiful piece of art! Sounds amazing! Don't forget about my solo acoustic show March 10th at Thurston's Bar and Duo show March 26th at The Gin Mill!

Song of the day: Wiseman by Slightly Stoopid...... so mad I didn't make it last nite:(

Just woke up a little bit ago, the sun is shining and I'm already bored! Thinking about starting the day off with a mimosa ;) Gotta lot to do today though. Need to hit up Guitar Center (FUN PART OF THE DAY), get car washed (inside and out), gotta hit up scary WalMart (bad part of the day), find a computer repair place, and lastly, hit up the liquor store:) I don't have much planned for the rest of the evening, but I hope something fun turns up! I'm in need of a fun night out on the town.

Well the sun is shinning, maybe the dog will get lucky and we'll take him to the park or the dog bar.

Leave some ideas if you like!!!

Song of the day: Ok, it's alright with me by Eric Hutchinson
 
I would like to announce that "The Atlas Shrug Project" will be playing a live acoustic show Saturday March 26th at THE GIN MILL on South Tryon in South End!!!

I know all of you are wondering if I accomplished my goal of 200 last night at my bowling league. Unfortunately my high game was only 174.......... very disappointing
made me cry :( but seriously, who starts off a game with 5 strikes in a row followed by 5 open frames!!!! WTF STEGS! I need to step up my game. Gotta bring the heat next week!

Song of the day: Rosa Parks by Outkast......oldie but a goodie, and it's Black History month! Check it out all you youngins!
 
I'm always excited for Wednesday nights. This is when I have my bowling league with my boys at George Papappas Park Lanes. It's always a good time! $2.25 brewski's aren't bad either! The goal for tonight is 200+.......... stay posted ;)

After bowling, I'm gonna hit up Thurston's Open Mic tonight. It's a great time with lots of talent. Swing by if you're in the area!

Song of the day: Hometown Glory by Adele.......... what an incredible voice on this chicka
 
So I saw a creepy movie last night. Case 39. It actually wasn't too bad, however it started off a little slow. It was actually a little scarier than I thought. As far as today goes, another gorgeous day! About 75 degrees! I cannot wait for summer! I'm going to try to book as many outside shows as possible. Gotta have a little fun in the sun with some brewski's!

Song of the Day: Ain't no rest for the wicked by Cage the Elephant!
 
Thank god for the weekend! It is 75 degrees here in Charlotte and my friends and I are going the Rusty Rudder to catch Simplified play an acoustic show out on the patio! Gonna enjoy some brewski's, some good music and of course THE SUN!!!! This is why I moved to North Carolina!!!

Song of the day: Citizen's Cope: Bullet and a Target!!!!!
 
I have a couple of good friends coming into town this weekend! Pretty pumped up about it! Hopefully it turns into a crazy one!! I plan on taking them all over town, just don't know where yet, either way, we're gonna rock out! Any suggestions where to take them? Heard of anything good this weekend going on? LET ME KNOW!!!!
