Went to a breakfast meeting at Athens and I sure have been going there a lot. I had 2 eggs and bacon with hash browns and toast and coffee ($8) and it was good. But the bacon was a little flat. Like they put that smasher thing on it. The meeting was with Mike Grimes and Trisha Brantley and we were picking songs for Guilty Pleasures. Mike and Trisha do most of it, I just come up with unreasonable suggestions. I thought “Sailing” went over really well, but nobody’s asked me to do it again. Then Leslie called and she needed some medicine at the hospital, so I took it to her. Went back to Hopkins and worked on Reggae songs and a Bob Marley song came on the XM radio “Could You Be Loved?” and it was awesome! The bass part is so cool. So then I picked up some Chinese take-out and had it with my grandma. ($14) and Leslie came over. Then I got dressed and went to the Basement to play with Jessica Maros, and Gina Gershon was there. Curt Perkins came too and Troy Verges and there were a lot of people I didn’t know. But the gig was fun but it was kind of dark so I couldn’t read my charts and I forgot my little light, but I thought we sounded good. Then we hung out for a while and Mike played an excellent record by a band from Texas called “Midlake” so I made a vow to go to Grimey’s tomorrow and buy it. But we needed to get up early, so we went home.
