gaitan my man!

Tacos-a-Go-Go on Main St.is one of my favorite places of all time, not only because its delicious and open so late on the weekend,but because every time I go there I habitually run into some of my favorite people.Last night was no exception!As I was leaving Tacos-a-go-go I ran into my buddy Nick Gaitan. Formerly of Los Skarnales, and now of The Umbrella Man, Nick informed me that there was a comedy/music night that recently started at The Continental Club next door and that I should come back by to jam with them later on. I had already planned on going to a jam at Dean's but I figured since I have a residency there that I could be late and a slew of musicians would be there holding down the fort. So I came back only to arrive at the end of the comedy show and was shocked at how funny the comedians actually were.Normally when I go to comedy shows in Houston I have to make sure that my standards are set low...but these guys made me change that notion really quick with their shits and giggles aimed at family,race,and the surely legally insane prostitutes on Main St. Gotta love it.Anyway,I ended up jamming with Nick on bass,Robert on accordian,and a couple of their friends in tow to a few random improv blues/country songs.This comes as a big deal to me because I along with many others have been on the Gaitan waiting list for a while now it seems...just another thing to do if you ask me!I'm ecited and we plan to make this a regular thing on Tuesdays and Sundays.It will be early on Tuesdays though because I still do my regular songwriters workshop at Dean's with Wasi Townsend,Zero,Tony Henry,Snowshoe and Lewis and a hoard of others.This summer is looking to be a busy one indeed.

Oh!!!First week of June I will be doing a mini tour I guess of California!With dates in Los angeles and in San Francisco followed by a possible Las Vegas addition. Stay tuned and thank goodness its almost Friday.
