Certainly fun - and, in the end, quite reasonable for the bar.
We were graced by a visit from the ever-lovely
I'm not a huge fan of makeup, but damn...
We also had a return visit from Shawn and Cash (sp?). They say they may be able to make it in more frequently than once a month in the near future. 'Twould be cool.
And there were several hours of
When they all left. I actually stopped the show, because, well, there didn't seem to be much point. Then Heather said that thing that she always does: "Maybe we should close down early."
So John walked in around 11:15pm. And she said something like "It's only one customer."
By midnight, we were back up to five people in the rotation, and if memory serves, had a couple of non-singers in the bar as well.
I closed down at 1:50am, at the end of the 16th rotation.
Now, through all that, I will not say that I was doing the best job of picking songs. Frequently people just didn't know what I gave them. But I did pick entertaining songs. At least from my point of view...
After the show, I headed to Mini Gourmet for some food and decompression.
That also felt a bit odd. I mean, not the food. I'm used to that being odd. It's just that the only other group in the place seemed out of a bad rap video. If I understood properly, they were sort of holding a wake for a friend of theirs, so there were all sorts of enthusiastic stories of people beaten up and smashed faces, all of which would have been much shorter without all the "my nigga" interjections.
I don't think any of them were black (I honestly wasn't about to spend too much time staring in order to check).
Only one was female. And she wasn't having too great a time. In fact, after the story in which they were talking about a party with "hella hoes," she appeared to lose all enthusiasm entirely, which seemed to confuse the guy she was with.
I love the Mini.
Then home, and sleep. Today I did lunch with
I've priced repairs on the car at a shop I know (about the price I paid for it - I'll have to see what the other place says on Thursday), checked out the location for next Tuesday's show with
I also bought a new atomic clock at Fry's (it was $15...). It matches my bed. It also has a functioning temperature gauge, and shows the phase of the moon. Though for some reason, an empty circle is a new moon, and an all-black one is a full moon. And they're using a table of phases that runs out in 2019. Apparently using the fixed cycle length is too complicated.
I got home around 7:30pm with all my stuff, and dozed. I'm about to go grab some more food, then figure out if I want more sleep, or if I'll do something with all these toys I've bought.
