Local Celebrity SpottingSince I was up so late last night and I also had to take my car in to be fixed, I was going in late to work today. A friend was heading to eat and asked me to join her so we headed over to Longhorn Po Boys near campus and had dinner.
Next door is a coffee house, and since I was wanting coffee, we walked next door. We were there trying to decide what to drink. My friend wanted a Chai Shake, so I started shaking to the amusement of two cute women in front of us. One was really slender with a nose ring and looked familiar. So I whisper to her, "The girl on the right reminds of Patrice Pike."
Patrice Pike is a local singer/songwriter who used to perform with Little Sister that became Sister 7. And now she performs in her new group Patrice Pike and the Blackbox Rebellion with an incredible lineup of musicians.
Lo and behold, the guy behind the counter confirms it. So after a wee bit of awkwardness (I'm never good at talking to people who intimidate me, ie celebrities and women I'd like to meet), we got to talking. My brother, Sean, used to hang out with her a bit. But we talked a bit about her new musical project, and I made a quick plug for The Bards.
Told her we'd be out at TRF this last weekend. Doubt she'll be able to make it, but that'd be cool. Patrice is a very cool cat, and an incredible performer. If you want to see someone with absolutely amazing stage presence, catch one of her shows. She's plays Tuesdays at Saxon Pub and on Fridays at Steamboat. I'm gonna have to head down in see her when I have a free Friday methinks.
Oh, and for more musical fun, this Thursday, my friend Ryan's band, Pavlov's Dogs is playing at The Mercury. Ryan is an innovative songwriter and fantastic vocalist. He also plays with Plow Monday.
