Aaaaaahhh... sushi for lunch.

DP and I just returned from lunch at RuSans (505 12th Avenue South) today.

Wow.
Was it YUMMY.

And, if you haven't been there in a while, you'll be happy to know they rearranged the buffet set-up. Instead of having all the goods at six tables in the center of the buffet area, it is now more efficiently arranged around the perimeter of the room. The sushi-half resides on the bar and the Japanese / cooked options and salad are along the opposite wall. Logistically, this made eating at RuSans for lunch an even more pleasant experience than before!

Now... where's my rug?!
I need a nap...zzzzz....

Bluebird ROCKED.

Man... I had soooooo much fun performing at the Bluebird on Sunday night. A big big thank you to JC (keys) and Danny Torrell (guitar). These two guys really connected musically and the songs felt really really good. It has been a LONG time since I felt that free on stage. It is hard to explain but just trust me on this... we had a GREAT time and I hope the audience had as much fun as we did.

Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting me. I really appreciate it.

BB at the Bluebird

Come out to the Bluebird tomorrow night (7/3) at 8 p.m. I'll be performing on the Sunday Night Writer's night. JC and Danny Torrell are backing me up. AND, my friend Karleen Watt is also performing some of her songs as well... should make it a great night!

Hope to see you there!

Ten happy little piggies.

Yesterday, I got off early at work due to the holiday weekend.
Whoohooo.

So, Linda and I decided to get indulge ouselves and get pedicures. It was only the second time I'd ever had a pedicure... and I'm not sure why. Man, are my feet happy and pretty (and let me tell you... that's quite a feet feat!) I think I'm going to start getting them once a month.

If you've never had a pedicure, here's how it works:

First, I chose the color, "gypsy cocoa" which was a really dark brick red, I wanted to have painted on my toes. (MEN: skip this part or go for a matte finish clear coat. Seriously... Men get pedicures, too. Don't poo-poo the idea just because you have outdoor plumbing. In fact, if your single, clean well-groomed feet are impressive to the ladies... really... I swear.)

Then, I sat in this massage chair with my feet soaking in a mineral water mini-jacuzzi. While my feet were having a good time below, my back and butt were also getting a massage. Very relaxing.

One at a time, Stephen (my pedicurist who moved to the U.S. from Vietnam seven years ago) fixed-up every single toe on each foot. Cuticles were trimmed. Toenails were filed and buffed. He put several different kinds of lotion and goop on my feet, too.

After the ten little piggies were in ship shape, they began work on my entire foot. My favorite part is when he buffed the soles of my feet using this pumice stone thingy. (This is the part that made Linda giggle.) It feels sooooo good. They also gave my feet and calves a nice massage at this point. AAAaaaaaahhhhh.

Finally, once all the buffing, trimming and goop application was complete, he put dividers between my toes and began applying the "gypsy cocoa" to my squeaky clean tonails. First a clear coat, then the color and then another clear coat of something.

Once the polish was applied, Stephen gave me these funky flip-flop things to wear while I waited for the toe fans to dry my nails. I looked like a duck walking around in them.

And, let me tell you, I don't have the prettiest feet in the world, but if I do say so myself... my feet look and feel FABULOUS.

I highly recommend treating yourself to a pedicure.

JTC: On the road again

JTC is probably pulling out of our driveway in the BMT "bus" about now. They're on the way to another tour of southern Florida.

While I won't be able to hang with them in the Keys, I am flying down to see them play at Skippers in Tampa next Saturday. Can't wait!

Let's all go!
Wadya say?
C'mon... it will be FUN!

French Quarter Gig ROCKED

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out to my show at the French Quarter last night. I had so much fun... hope you did, too. Steve C, JTC, Cat, Kiwamu, Melissa and JC really rocked my world as the Roundabouts. It was a blast... and the time went way too fast. I could do it EVERY DAY ALL DAY!

Anyway... Thank you.

I'm supposed to get a master of the live CD we recorded last night sometime next week. I was planning to use it as a demo to get gigs and pitch a couple songs, but, if it turns out (*fingers crossed*) I may consider making CDs available to people.

Let me know if you'd be interested.

Letterman pics... finally

I finally remembered to add a photo of Lindsay playing with Ben Folds on Letterman.

Yes.
I am STILL a dork.
But... isn't it COOL!
