Well, everyday is turning into twice a week, but hey, that's still an improvement, right?

Been so busy, but did catch Rob Thomas at the Mountain Winery a few nights ago. It's an amphitheater set literally in the middle of a vineyard at the top of a mountain overlooking the Santa Clara Valley. Even Rob said it was the nicest place he'd ever played a show. It was an acoustic show, very low-key, about 1200 in attendance. Very suited to showcasing Rob as a singer-songwriter, which he totally is, despite that whole Matchbox-20 thing. :-) He's also pretty funny and charming with his long involved song intros. He did mostly his solo stuff, with one or two MB20 things (Bent, Unwell). They did one of those things where they were selling soundboard recordings of the show on little USB wristbands. Unfortunately they were $40 -- I probably would have gotten one if they were $20. The whole thing gave me a hankering to see MB20. He did say that they would be working on a new record soon, which made a huge chunk of the audience very happy.

Latest "how Adam Lambert continues to fuck with fan-girls heads'" chapter:

ADAM: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Tommy Joe. He's the bass player.

Do you like him?

And you want to know something funny? He likes girls!

TOMMY: *giant O-face of surprise and shock*

ADAM: Sorry about that. *exaggerated shrug*....*voice turns soft and seductive*...but also, he likes this.

Then he puts his hand on Tommy's neck and proceeds to have a minute long make-out session with him, causing Tommy's knees to buckle.

Oh boys!
