Rather random encounters

It was most unexpected to see my friend Sahira open up for Beans Barton and the Bipeds at Dan Electro’s on Saturday.
She’s a great dancer and member of Urban Gypsy.

I think my favorite was a duet dance she did with another member of the troop that was set to tune of Dueling Banjos.

The King is dead, long live The King!

Last night was a bit of a treat.
Arrived at the Continental a bit early and had a nice chat with Bill Shirley.

On the bill at the CC was Ted Roddy’s King Conjure Orchestra.
The evening was a tribute to the Elvis of the 50’s.

I am not a huge Elvis fan, but something about a 11 piece orchestra with a horn section and female backing vocals kicking out the jams in that space made me a fan for the night.

It was a great crowd. The cool thing was that, while they played Elvis songs, Ted Roddy was not an Elvis impersonator. He did, however, sing in the 50’s Elvis style. It was a true rock and roll party.

Art for art’s sake

Saturday I got to spend some time supporting my good friend Greg at his art exhibit opening.
Based on the attendance I would judge the event a success.

Family, friends and even casual acquaintances were gathered in abundance.
It’s important to support events like this.

Finally caught up with Bill to give him back the DVD I borrowed so long ago.
He gave us back our Rick Steve’s Amsterdam guide.
Bill and Cynthia had an opportunity to swap European vactions stories.

Later that evening I caught up with The Allen Oldies Band.
Before they started playing I got to show Landis Armstrong the photo I took of him that is hanging in Sig’s Lagoon with a few other of my photographs.

I enjoyed a few songs and then moved on.

The 10th lucky caller will receive….

I have been so lax about chronicling the last leg of the trip to Europe.

Rome is major undertaking. In our physical scrapbook it constitutes 1/3 of a 4 inch binder.

As I was sifting through my pictures to cull out some for the post I came across this one taken from the outside patio area at the Vatican Museum. In the background you can see the antenna of Vatican City Radio.

We jokingly referred to it as K-POPE, Voice of God Radio!

We never actually heard it but we figured the faithful could probably tune it on on their fillings.

I really wanted a radio t-shirt. Maybe they had give on-air give aways?

I do have the coolest toys

During a discussion regarding Ebay on the radio show the subject of my personal addiction came up.
I got a few e-mails asking for some details so I broke out the camera and shot these.

Wednesday night goodness

Another excellent show. I decided to join my co-hosts for after show hijinx and headed over to the Flying Saucer for a drink.

Met up with Kymberlie, Jamie

It was very pleasant.

Kymberlie makes a point as Barrett smiles.

Simpatico

Last night was exceptional.

Cynthia and I received an invitation to attend a wine tasting party hosted by some friends.
The theme was South American.

The initial reception was located at the Sabine Lofts just outside of downtown and featured Ceviche and sparkling and white wines.

This was followed by a limousine ride to a downtown residence where more wines were served with dinner on the rooftop above the 10th floor. Dinner was beef tenderloin and plantain encrusted snapper that was quite delicious.

Great conversations with wonderful friends old and new.

Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.

It occurs to me that there are two ways one might make the decision to replace their water heater.

The first would be a concious awareness that the appliance may be reaching the end of it’s service life and make the proper arrangements.

The second would be to come home and think to oneself; “What is all this water doing on my floor?”

I am thinking the second is the most common.
