So I'm not really sure if the rest of the country is kept updated about the weather in Florida, but currently there is a Tropical Storm/Hurricane thats actually suppose to be hitting us right now. So I guess I'm actually posting this picture in the middle of a hurricane? hm, weird. Anyways, unlike the kids of the north who get 'snow days', down here we tend to get 'hurricane days'. Therefore, the 1st and 2nd day of school were canceled due to the storm! Basically my summer has been extended an extra 2 days which is perfectly fine by me. I actually only posted this picture so i could tell everyone that I've had some extra days of summer. haha sorry, It's exciting!
(&& i wanted to try using a texture for the 1st time. I think it came out okay for a 1st attempt ever)
We attended one of the Seattle efforts around turning Becks new sheet music-only release into audible songs. Such a cool idea, with fantastic results on this particular evening.
From the press release:
Seattle based artists perform one song each from Beck's new sheet music only album “Song Reader”. Artists were backed by an all-star Royal Room house band augmented by a variety of guest musicians.
Featuring:
Robb Benson (Dept of Energy, The Glass Notes), Julia Massey (Julia Massey & The 5 Finger Discount), Thousands, Skerik (The Dead Kenny G’s, Bandalabra), Maria Mannisto, Andy Coe, Carla Torgerson (The Walkabouts), Jared Cortese (The Jesus Rehab), Robin Holcomb, Luke Bergman, Wayne Horvitz and many more.
Killer show!
The Royal Room, Seattle, WA.
