Ahhhh… what happened? I almost got back into my old routine of updating this thing weekly, which is now Phil Kenagy style. :b

We hit up O’Dowd’s on the plaza on Wednesday night after my hockey. Kim’s new friend Amanda met up with us there, as did Mike. I had a couple Guinness, yum!

Friday night was the acoustic planet tour show at City Market with Bela Fleck, Keller Williams and Yonder Mt. What a show that was! The whole thing was seamless, meaning there were no set breaks between the different acts. Yonder Mt. played first and all of the Flecktones made an appearance during their set. Eventually Keller joined them onstage and they slowly left the stage. The same thing happened with Keller and Bela. The encore had all 9 performers on stage jamming away. I recorded the show, but I have no idea on setlists or how to cut it up, but look for it eventually. It was also the KC microbrew festival, so we had good beer all night long!

Saturday Kim and I headed to Wichita for my buddy Steve Christy’s birthday celebration featuring Shaking Tree. We booked the downtown Hyatt for $45 via priceline. The venue was awesome. It was an open air place with bug brick walls surrounding an open courtyard. Shaking Tree sounded the best I have heard them yet! A very good time for our first time in Wichita.

Last night we tried for 2nd row DMB tickets for tonight, but didn’t have the best of luck. At least we still have tickets for the show. The weather should be perfect for tonight. Oh yeah, the band is all staying right down the street from our place. As we drove in from Wichita yesterday I saw lines of buses sitting outside the Fairmont. I’m pumped for tonight!!!

I also might be getting reimbursed for my camera by the Cleveland Hyatt. It seems as if the head housekeeper is accepting blame for it being missing. It sounds too good to be true, but I’ll keep you updated on that…

Back to work…
