I think Todd summed up my thoughts for today really well in an email he sent…
“Man, Im beat you guys. Im going to have to re-evaluate this whole ‘closing down bars’ lifestyle.”

It was boys night out last night, so we headed to the Brooksider to watch the end of the Royals game. They almost blew the game, but in the end they got out of their losing streak! From there some of us decided to go over to Tomfooleries for a few more drinks and some music. The typical Monday night cover band was there. The drinks kept coming and coming. Next thing you know the band is done playing, and it’s 1 AM!!! I was out later than Kim was, and it’s 2 hours earlier in Vegas…

Needless to say, work is the last thing I want to do today. How about a nap???

Back to work for my 3 day week…

For those of you that don’t know, and most probably don’t, my man Dave Matthews will be on VH1’s (Inside)Out this Saturday at 10PM…
Trey Anastasio (Phish) and Dave Matthews’ trip to Dakar, Senegal this past January is documented in an hour-long program and will premier on VH1 on May 8 at 10 PM EST. In the program, Trey and Dave journey to the capital city for a cross-cultural exchange with seminal West African band Orchestra Baobab. Trey and Dave toured around Senegalese capital city Dakar, attended an Africa Cup soccer match (where Senegal edged out South Africa 2-1), gave an acoustic performance off the coast of Dakar on Goree Island, watched singer Baaba Maal perform an intimate show (Trey called it ‘one of the best concert experiences of my life’) and then rehearsed and performed with Orchestra Baobab at “Yengoulene”, a small club in Dakar.
That sounds pretty sweet! I’ll have to try to remember to record it since I will be in Vegas!

Friday night Kim and I met up with Doni, Phil, Todd and the others up at the Brooksider. We took the bus up there, so that was my first experience on the KC buses. Kim has a bus pass, so she rode for free just like she does everyday, and I had to pay $1. Sure beats driving though!
The Brookside Art Fair was going on, so we did that for a little while too. I saw a guy who was incredible at playing the djembe. That was my highlight of the art fair for sure…

Saturday we did the usual errands and then went to a Wizards soccer game. They play out at Arrowhead, the football stadium. There were almost 30,000 people there for the game. Crazy! The wizards won, and we even got to see 2 goals plus a shutout. Perhaps we will go back sometime…

I dropped Kim off at the airport this morning. She was heading to Vegas, which is where I’m heading on Wednesday after work. I’m ready, get me outta here!!!
