A Little Friday Night Special -- Because, She's "Got Brass In Pocket."

I used to think that "Son of a Son of a Sailor" was the coolest title, now I am board lining with going to watch "The ex of an ex jam her guitar" as the new leader of the raddest title.

This Friday I ventured up to The Bowling Green State Univ. to see Miss Megz Small play and sing at a bar above another bar located on the main drag only little ways off campus. A few of my friends and bro were going to come but other obligations came up for some and it turned out that Alicia was the only one that could make the journey to Wood county with me on Friday night. Alicia, interested in seeing the show, was a little concerned however since I forewarned her that we would probably not be getting home till close to 4 am (due heavily to the fact that from Cleve. to BG it is about a 2 hr hike). I told her that if she could keep awake and kickin on the way to, I would be able to handle the way fro with the aid of Speedway coffee, good tunes and my a.c. kicked up a little more on the bluer side than usual. Besides, due to my wacky schedule of mostly night classes this semester, I have adjusted to becoming quite the night owl, but even inching close to that sunrise point is a little challenging for this blog gal.

I have become a little more familar with the basic landscape of BG over this past year. More so than Wooster which kept me utterly baffled and shifted my dyslexia into high gear. Also, my bro graduated from there and I attended a few summer running camps there over h.s. Prior to the show, we cruised by Alicia's old grad school apart. (to which I humiliated myself by singing "This Used to Be My Playground"). We even got a chance to check out the completed Poe Road Project. I saw it back a few months ago when it was still under construction. Despite the lack of light, creepy noises in the bushes, and threat of cars wanting the nail us, I was able to somehow spot Kelly's name and hand print. Could not find Meg's but maybe if we would have stayed longer the racoon that was lurking in the field across the street could have, I suppose, helped us spot it.

When we got to the bar it was good to see Meg and meet some of her peeps. For months I had been saying that I was going to venture up to catch one of her shows. However, due to either grading kicking my ass, freaky thunder storms that caused flooding/power outages or other various reasons, I always punked out before this weekend. However, I finally decided that it was time to put my money where my mouth was (in this case only $3.00 to see Megz and the kick butt duet of hubby and wife team "Katie & Pat" that performed prior) and watch her "do her thang". I must say, I was quite impressed. She put on a good musical act with alot of humourous commentary interaction with the audience.

An added and very spectacularly awesome bonus was that I finally got to see Steve!!!! Steve and I went to undergrad together at The Mighty Mount and now he is doing is teaching gig at The BG. At Mount, Steve and I were both writing majors and apostles of Dr. Kelly Lowe. Steve also brought his super nice entourage of wife Melissa and his peeps - the married dynamic duo of Paul and Carrie. All of them were soooo sweet and really easy to chat/drink with. So without, further interuption, here are some pictures from this past Friday at Grumpy Dave's....


B.F.F. Pose with Steve-o. Sorry, Melissa! Was having issues with croping, but I think your funny facial exageration adds to the flavor of the pict! Don't worry, there is a cute one of you two comin soon. I promise!


Megz, a big weirdo from The Cleve. & Jess. Some look thrilled and some look dead serious.



There we go. Now that is the type of maritial bliss that you just want to bottle and drink up with a straw! -- Liss & Steve



Meg & Jess chillin prior to the show


This is Barb. She is pretty neat. We also share one funny similarity. Hit me up sometime, I will share.


Me probably trying to explain something to my friends or just acting like a tard..... Possibly both...


No, Roy is not the only one that rules. So do Carrie & Paul!


Good picture of Alicia but I look like I want to rumble.




Megz is strumin her guitar. I guess I should have zoomed in. Looks like I took this from 400 meters away!
