she said, my what a big tongue you have. and I said, it's your lucky day
San Francisco was a blast!! Mostly.
Yo!Mello and I flew up on Sunday morning, walked from Union Square to the Fisherman's Wharf and cabbed it back in time to shower and change for Ian Siegal.
On the way, I killed my calves in an insane attempt to climb that first crazy hill on Powell. Damn, dude! WTF? We turned right instead and zig-zagged our way into Chinatown. And wasn't that fun. Interesting smells, the chatter of faux crickets and the bright, distracting glitter of sundry totchkes. Yo!Mello was lured into a jewelry store by a coral and gold ring only to be told by the proprieter that it was 'maybe' too expensive for her. Indeed it was and we laughed and rolled our eyes on the way out.
Then we had double yolk Moon Cakes. OMG and never again!! Although, Yo!Mello enjoyed it far more than me. I was just grossed out. Ah, c'est la vie. To each his own. And then we met an old college roommate of mine for a late lunch and coffee and that was the most fun ever! We caught up and talked and laughed and it was the best time! I can't believe how great she looked and she's MARRIED and I got to meet her husband. OMG!!
Then the real fun began because we got to see Ian Siegal and it was the BEST TIME EVER!!! He was on fire as usual and the show lasted three hours! The man is a blues singing machine and I am totally in love. *sigh* Just, damn. Yo!Mello and I got up and shook our money-maker's, strutted and I damn near crippled my self. But how could I stay seated when Ian was serenading me with the awesomeness of "Bloodshot"! And for the encore he sung my request: "Big Legged Woman." My only regret is that we didn't get to spend more time with him.
He's going to be in Tacoma and Seattle, I believe next. If ya'll live nearby, I'd highly suggest catching a show! Tell him Libby sent you.
Unfortuantely, what would have been the rockingest weekend since St. Patrick's Day was smudged by tragedy! I went to withdraw money from the ATM only to find that there were no funds and that I was overdrawn by $112.00. OMFG!! I flipped out right there on the sidewalk in front of the bank! I rattled my brain trying to figure out how I had managed to spend $112.00 more than I had in the bank. Well, after I got home on Monday night and proceeded to balance my checkbook I called the bank and turns out Pleasant Holidays ran an unauthorized charge on my account for an amount I had paid a week earlier! I've been told that the money has since been credited back and it's just a matter of waiting for it to hit my bank account. Meanwhile, I am screwed and hungry because I HAVE NO MONEY!
Dude.
Ian Siegal almost makes up for it, but still ... I'm hungry.
