In which I’m going out of town! YAY!
The guy who books me for his Children’s Benefit holiday concerts every year, and on whose album I sang the summer before last, has booked a gig for his sometime-band The Seventh Ray.
In Vail! Colorado! In the freakin’ Rockies, bitches!
I’m going to Vail for a gig! Driving out in a van fulla musicians I adore! Staying at the Vail Cascade Resort & Spa! And GETTING PAID for the WHOLE ENDEAVOUR!
Date & Time: Saturday, May 5, 2007, 6:30PM
Place: Vail Cascade Resort & Spa (Vail, CO)
Event: Retreat with Sai Maa
I’m so happy I could die!
(Seriously. I haven’t been paid for a gig since, like, the mid 90’s.)
I’ve only been to Vail once, and it’s a trendy little stuck-up resort town. Even the Denny’s is chichi, puh-leese.
But it’s in the mountains where it’s gorgeous, and I’ll be hanging with a bunch of my favorite players! And I get to meet a saint, which is never a bad thing.
I wonder if I can take my dog with me. Hmm.

YAY, Mush! Things are turning around for you now. You got the job, you have the music thing… Soon you will have so much falafel on your plate you won’t know what to do. Will you still reply to my messages when you’re rich and famous?????
Well… not to put too fine a point on things, but I have a part-time job in a tiny town in BFE and one upcoming gig. It’s not like I’m queen of the hill or anything. But I do have access falafel! -m
I may be able to visit Vale to watch you in concert, there is a RV park just 8 miles out of town. You going to fly and then rent a car or going to cross country in a band van?
Really? Driving in a van. I thought you were in Mazatlan! -m
Just read what the gig was all about, not to put to fine a point on it, I’ll skip it this time…
Have a great concert up there!!!
Yes, I’m in Maz but I expect to be at the border May 1st or so.
Fine, be that way. -m
Give me a call if you need a pickup from the airport. I’m almost in the neighborhood…
We’re driving. Gah! -m
Wish I could be there. For SO many reasons. Like it would mean I wasn’t dead broke. I’d get to meet you. I’d get to hear you sing. And it would be my first vacation in three years.
I’ll rob a bank and send you both tix! Yay! -m
