Boneglove and SushiThis evening was very enlightening. Tonight I went out with Stacy. We started the evening at Sake on Sixth, a Japanese sushi restaurant near I-35 on the infamous Sixth Street. Stacy doesn't eat Japanese, but came down for the company since we were meeting up later to go see Boneglove at Steamboat. But I also went there to meet with the manager of the restaurant. He wants to make the restaurant an alternative live music venue. Sounds sorta like a replacement for the Empanada Parlour that shut down a few months back. The owner said he liked our music and wanted to have us perform there. So Stacy and I went to check it out.
It's a very cool place. Being fairly close to I-35, it's a bit removed from the hub of Sixth Street debauchery. The interior is perfect for an unplugged set. The outside is nice for being amplified. Nice cozy size. And there's valet parking, plus, lots of security cameras being located next to the Texas Lottery Commission. So it seems like a pretty safe place to go to. I'm not yet sure if this'll fly, but I'd love to get your feedback, especially since it's on Sixth Street.
Any case, I had a great time chatting with Stacy. She's a very cool person and religion aside, we have some great similarities. She's also extremely hot and was a walking temptress. That and the fact that she thinks I am hot too. It's kinda exhilirating and a welcome change.
Any case, after hitting Sake on Sixth, we met up with Rie and went to the Boneglove show and enjoyed an Austin original. Boneglove plays some sorta hardcore funkadelic rock. Great band. The keyboardist reminds me of Rita Moreno and seems so nibble-able. Very cute. The band had a lot of energy and was a lot of fun. It left me missing, and happy to not miss, playing in rock bands. On the one hand, I don't miss lugging around all the heavy equipment. On the other, I miss having a band back me up as I dance, sing, and terrorize the stage.
Oh and before them, was a cool contemporary rock duo, Cameron Road. The female vocalist of the duo is very hot, has a beautiful smile, and a great stage presence. Check out both these bands if you have some time. Open Season on BardsIt's really weird to go out on dates now. I almost feel like hunting season has opened up on me. Admittedly, it's kinda exciting, but it also seems like a lot of pressure. I miss the reliability of not having to worry about a relationship or what not. Fortunately, tonight was great for not feeling pressured, but in general, it's kinda weird.
I mean one thing I learned was that there were several people out there who thought I was sexy. I've never really seen myself as sexy. My Ex-fiancee always said so, but while I've long tried to mold my image into such, I just can't seem to accept it. I still feel like the insecure nerd I was in junior high. But chatting with Stacy made me feel a little bit more so.
It must be bizarre to be a sex symbol. I certainly wouldn't put myself in that category, but I feel like I'm getting a small taste of what it might be like, and it's wild.
But for now, I'm enjoying the attention. I really haven't dated much, and so to date women who think I'm hot is kinda cool. I've always been clueless to things like that. So I'm excited to hear people's interest. Ode to a Nut arose while grabbing some groceries tonight. It's just kinda fun.
