"Over fall break, you're coming down to see me"

I'm surprised I haven't been blogging more often...I've certainly been trolling facebook regularly now that I'm up to my eyeballs in online MBA work.

Friday was an exciting day, so I took a day off of work. The morning was spent doing my first MBA midterm. It was tough...ended up with an 88 and the class average was 81, so I was happy with that. The afternoon was then spent anxiously awaiting the arrival of Rosi Golan and company for the house show she was playing at our house that night.

It was a bit surreal to receive a phone call around 2:30 with a "this is Rosi" on the other end after planning and preparing for the show for so long. She, Jake (guitarist) and Ben (boyfriend) arrived around 5 and we hit McCallisters for some pre-show fuel. Very, very nice people. Easy to talk to, laid back, very gracious and kind. And not too harsh when I couldn't find my way back home after taking the back way through the neighborhood.

So they relaxed for awhile and before long Chase Coy showed up to settle in, do a soundcheck and hang out for a bit before people started arriving. Ultimately, the soundcheck was unnecessary as no mic was needed for the two rooms that would be filled with 25-30 people. But I enjoyed chatting with Chase for awhile, hearing some of his new songs. A genuinely good kid with genuinely enjoyable music.

More to come on the adventures in concert hosting...
