In Today’s News
"Residents are again on alert in Broad Ripple after two violent robberies within two days."…
Ok, I am really stunned that there could be all these cops in front of the bars scaring drunks or trying to pick up drunken chicks but, you can walk a few blocks in either direction and some jackasses can jump out of the bushes and rob you at gunpoint? It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. I think they should have bike racks on the squad car and perhaps jump on some bikes and cruise the outskirts of "the strip". By having the bike racks on the squad car you won't lose the parking space in front of the bars and the intimidation factor that it lends and, it's some good exercise while you wait for some dumbass to stumble of the bar and possible score an arrest.

It goes on and on and on
I started in the game in 1986 and been MANY places, worked with MANY people and for the last two years I got really lazy and complacent in what I was doing. I think it was mainly the fact I knew the bar I was at did not have any money to really make an impact in the marketplace and therefore we were never going to be a "stand out" in what we were doing. I know I am better off by myself as I am now. I can take full blame if something fails and better yet, I don't have to worry about anyone close to me trying to screw me. At times I replay some of the shit that was said and done behind my back which fuels me to have that much more drive to keep moving on and leave that all behind me. I always make friends wherever I am and they all seem to stay behind when I move on, sad when ya think about it but with every new adventure the people are that much more fun!
I have stepped up my game and like to think I deliver a good product to those that have me. I must be doing something right to be playing 5 nights huh? The fact the music formats are very different each night keeps me thinking of songs I haven't played in while as well as new ways to rock a party.
I'm just being me

I guess
I could blog about the violence that went on downtown during the Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration but I won't. I am hoping someone in office will make some suggestion to stop any late night events or just cancel this bullshit all together. You have people that try and have a positive event for some people and most of the people use that as an excuse to overrun the city and mess everything up. It's a joke and not a funny one..

I Know You
So last night at Peppers some folks came up to me and said "we thought that was you". They used to come into Buz Bar which is the bar I had worked at previous. I forgot their names but I do remember seeing them in there and it was cool to see people that had once came into a place I worked and then ended up running into me again. They said they would be back and I was stoked about that big time! I'm not holding my breath on if I see any more peeps from the past. If I do then that is good, if I make new friends at the parties that I rock now well, that's even better!
I shot some video last night that I will post sometime over the weekend. The video tells a small story of how it is. Showing up in person is much more fun!
