Quite the run of days here. Yesterday was the whirlwind trip up to Larwence Livermore Labs to talk with some potential collaborators on a Department of Homeland Security project. Sorry, no photos...something about a secure national lab. FIrst it was get up early and get the boy to school, then the am mtg to get organized, noon flight into oakland, rental car drive to Livermore, power meeting, drive back to oakland (and I got somewhat lost...doh!), then flight back to LA. Then drive home, pick up my gear, and head off to play a gig. For no one. Yes, there was no one in the bar for most of the first set. That's special. At least we got to try some new material that we didn't really know, and f*ck it up good (sorry about My Favorite Things...apologies to Coltrane). Later though I ended up playing behind Cosmo, and singing lead (!?!) on Jumpin' Jack Flash, Under My Thumb, and my usual backing vocals on All Over Now. Actually kinda fun, although I was dead tired. The life of a musician is never done...
