It's not very often that we get a whole weekend off, especially in the summer. So this weekend was a nice treat. With Bubba gone, I've been keeping track of the station, but things are going so well that I've gotten to have some time to myself. Which is great. Went to the Old Shillelagh last night. I had game. I totally bought a guy a drink. I'm very proud of myself. It didn't exactly work out....some how I ended up with his friend's phone # and the number of our server. Weird. But I think that still means that I had game. Ben.....dirtied my car on the way home. That's all I'm saying...but, yuck. I'm terrified to drive to work tomorrow. Someone will be taking my car to Big Daddy's during the day tomorrow...I wonder who that could be???
I'm bumming cuz I was supposed to go to the Common Ground Festival in Lansing this last week. Wednesday, Miranda and Rodney Atkins were playing! How fabulous. Well...we had a friend that was supposed to get us tickets and it seemed pretty certain that she would...and then no at the last minute. Super bummed. So that was when we saw Harry Potter instead. I got more bummed when I saw the set list she played there. Since she wasn't the opening act this time...she did a long set. It was basically like me with my guitar in my living room. She did all my favorites from the new and old albums and some of the other favs that she does live. I need to find another show where it's just her so I can really get to appreciate what a great performer she is. I really think that, since the ACM award, this is going to be her year (finally!!). She's just so very talented and under appreciated. I just really hope that the award makes her label see that they need to do a better job pushing her and put more behind this great artist. Kim and I are planning a trip to Texas to see her sister for her 21st b-day in October...so we think we're going to go up to Lindale again...and Miranda's mom has said she wants to take us out for lunch next time we're around. I'd love to chat with her about how things are on the inside of it all. I'm interested to hear her opinions on things and what they do on a regular basis. Music marketing and artist rep is very interesting to me. Plus, you never know when they'll need a backup singer, right?
Should be an interesting show tomorrow. Having Adam in the morning is different. He hates mornings....but we always have fun. As long as I rein him in ;) Sometimes....people need to be reined in :)
