Bella Caffe Show
Just wanted to take the time to document the Bella Caffe show I had last Friday (May 22nd).
Bella Caffe is a very cozy, yet moderately upscale coffee shop - located in Milwaukee's Third Ward. www.bellacaffe.com
I had a nice group of friends show up to support me (Stephanie & Barb, Caleb, Judy, Lisa Gatewood, Tristana & Tom, Pie.)
The highlight of the evening, of course, was the moment when I glanced to the left of me, to see my mother walking up the outside steps while I belted out a tune in the beginning of my set. Now, what you should understand about this happening is that my mother is the ultimate homebody; a 60 year old baby boomer in 2009. What this means for her, is that she doesn't get out much socially, which would also mean that she doesn't make it to very many of my shows. But I get that, you know - no sweat.
So, when I see her walking up the steps to the Bella Caffe, you gotta imagine that my initial reaction was confusion... then 'oh'... then utter shock. This is when the tears came. Mid-song, even.
I stopped singing... threw my hand up over my eyes, and let out a big silent/shoulder bouncing sob. I looked up to the confused audience and ny mom standing there, and blurted into the mic "What's my mom doing here?"
Everyone let out a huge due "Awww", followed by applause, lol. It was pretty crazy, and great. The nerves were laid on pretty quickly after that!
Oh, mom. =) Thanks for making it such a special night.

Pie's Birthday
Last Friday (May 8th) was Pie's birthday. She turned 25. I'd spent the last couple of weeks planning a little surprise get-together at Good Life (carribbean restaurant/bar on Milwaukee's east side) with close friends after work that day.
While I won't get into great detail, I can honestly say that the elements were so determined to make this day a complete disaster, before it was gonna let me reap the benefits of the planning. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. But seeing her little face light up when she walked in and saw everyone sitting there - made the day's nuisances completely worthwhile. Attendees: Bob, Sue, Tanya, Angela, Kristal, Linda, Grace, Caleb, Tristana, Tray, and KT - who rode with us as a decoy.
She received wonderful gifts, very personal and thoughtful - some even handmade. She's very loved. After a few rounds of drinks and appetizers, we left Good Life and went back to our place for a chill with a few folks from Good Life before our next stop. Within an hour, we all left to go see KatieBeth's show at JRiley's in Menomonee Falls. I had a great time, that girl embodies the definition of a performer.
Our next stop was Silk Exotic. This was my first trip to a 'gentlemen's club'... and based on my time spent there, I'm determined to make sure that it's not my last! I had an insanely good time, and that's really all... I'll say, lol.
Happy birthday, Pie!
