Went to El Mariachi and watched the Titans and dang! They sure know how to throw it all away in the last few seconds. It’s almost comic! But it was fun and David Mead and Grimey were there. Then John and Mark Deaderick came and we were laughing and talking about the new Jackass movie which Grimey loved and I refuse to go see. They basically told me all the funny parts and so now I don’t have to. Went to soundcheck at 3rd and Lyndsley and this time (unlike Butterfly’s gig) we actually got a soundcheck. Mindy is very careful to make sure she can hear perfectly, and that’s very smart because if you just leave it to chance who knows what it will sound like? Went home and took Mike and Dixie to Bosco’s and I had a grilled chicken ceasar salad which was good and I had a good talk with them. Then I had to go back down there and it was a good gig, I thought. I saw Jody Spence but I didn’t get to talk to him. Kerry from Big Yellow Dog came up and said hello after the gig which was nice. I talked to Sarah Siskind for a long time about her divorce and she seemed to be okay about everything. Then Julie Lee played me a song in her car they had just written and it was really good. Cool harmonies. I saw Marty Stuart and Connie Smith, and I said hi to Marty and he said “Good to see you!” but he looked like he had no idea who I was. Maybe I should always wear the same thing like David Byrne says and everybody will always recognize you. Mindy seemed pleased with the gig and i’m glad. I want her to be happy. Grimey left a drunken message saying “Y’all were awesome! That rocked!” and it was nice. Went home about 1 and went to bed.
