sunday night
I know I haven't blogged it up in FOREVER - so maybe I'll start backwards?And only a few of you know this, but I'll out myself right here and now and admit I'm pasting [most of this] review from where I wrote it somewhere else. So sue me :)
:::::
lastnight's performance = braaavoo!!!
lastnight rick & I were so tired - i will tell you why later, but it's a wonder how we actually made it to "The Smallest Show in Town" at The Hemlock. I wanted to go to support my pink & meatysweet friend, Ajaxxx (with the triple x, cuz he's that cool) (and for all you peaches fans: I'm only double a, but I'm thinkin triple x)
So we were driving up from down south (again, that story later) and we were debating... "what should we do?" "oh we're so tired" ... "can we make it?" "no, i'll just drop you off", I say - but then I think "I might pop in, but I sure would like you to come with me" - so finally we decided, let's just stop by and HOPE that Ajax is miraculously going on shortly after we walk in the door otherwise we'd just say hi, break a leg and take off.
Well, luck was on our side! cuz literally we parked, walked in & no more than 5 minutes later Jaxx got on stage! woohoo!!! We got to see his full 20 min set and it was delightful.
He first took us all back to the fond days of summer camp in true "word to your mother" fashion. (uh, it was mother's day, you see)
Everyone was sitting and behaving very well... and ajax soothed us with his voice and then dedicated a a song to his momma: Oh What A Night by the Four Seasons. Very sweetand we all hurrah'd cuz it was so good and fun!
And he's so damn funny. shiiit is that man funny (if you read his blog you'd know that :)... as Ian says, we have a love for his "brand" of funny. Well I'm here to tell you, he's funny and talented! (but if you've been fans of the A-Man for awhile now, I wouldn't have to tell you that either. He was in both Granfaloon Bus and some crazy rocker band . Now *that's* talent!
(update, that other rock band was called: Thunderbleed A.K.A. Blind Vengeance. What a great name eh?)
So ya, I was psyched to see him play guitar and sing. awesome!!
Then on the second song he did a clap along!! woohoo! we all clapped so good - ajax was proud and a guy near us even turned around to give us extra props for our "section" of pro-clappers in the back. oh ya, that's right! only the best for the meaty.
The last song was Ajax singing a darling tribute to his friend chris, who you may recall from his slaving away on jaxx's tardwork and not even complaining - and then he whom put on this grand event and twisted Ajax arm into performing. So Ajax sung'em a song - and we were standing next to Chris... and I think he was teary. I mean - who wouldn't be!?! Ajax singing you a song all about you and how much he thinks you're the greatest. Chris Leone is MY hero now.
Bravo Ajax! You did great and you should do more! We'll show up - even though we're really tired from drinking with you the night before. (which I will attempt to blog about in a second)
