Katy and Lou at the Dino
Tuesdays are Tweed days...Fat Tuesday was a special one...
Every Tuesday Lou, Me, and Tommy get together to work on things for the band. We make flyers, work on bookings, work on merchandise, and other random things...then we always end up eating at Jim's Diner.
This Tuesday, "Fat Tuesday" we started off with the usual. After some serious chat about how we are getting to Austin then the topic of wardrobe came up and naturally, we ended up at the thrift store.
We walked in to find a plethora of men's suit coats, pants, and vests that are more than perfect to make our boys look like bad-ass bluesy rock stars.
Sifting through the madness, Tommy and Lou came acrossed a sweet three-piecer that seemed to be Tommy's size..but we had to be sure...so what did we do? Look for a fitting room?, I don't think so, not this group....Lou and I turned around and built a human wall while Tommy dropped trow in the middle of the store. PERFECT FIT! We stuck around for a little while longer, Tommy found a great pair of pink pants and suggested them to Lou, needless to say he was not into them. We gathered our things, picked up a sweet lamp, and we were on our way.
After that I went home to get ready to play my solo gig at Beale St. Once a year they change my usual Tuesdays up to celebrate Mardi Gras. I played 4-6 followed by Dan Schmidt and the Shadows from 7-10. IT WAS PACKED. My friend and former Tweed, Mike Deiure brought his bass out and jammed a little with me. It was a good time on stage, but when we were off it was hard to move. We ended the night by rounding up the troops and meeting Katy and Lou out with some friends at Dinosaur BBQ to grab a bite and a few beers:)
We are getting ready to hit the studio starting Thursday night. I am sure we will have a lot to share about our experiences so stay tuned!
