I feel summer coming…

Well folks…I think summer is on it’s way, well unless you’re in Alberta and just got a couple centimeters of snow, but I’m sure it will melt people! No worries!

Anyway…yesterday it was 27 in Halifax! We went down to the Seahorse for Music Nova Scotia open mic night and everyone was out…the patios on Argyle Street are out, kickin’, and busy! I walked home in a tank top and enjoyed the summer breeze, humidity, and views of Halifax…Man I love this city!

I woke up this morning all bright and early, thinking if I would have had one more drink at the Seahorse, I might not be feelin’ so hot this morning! Went on to Canadian tire and for the second day in a row they said “We’re all booked up, not today.” I guess I’m driving with winter tires on for a bit because everyone is in this same mad rush to get those puppies off! But I do tend to jinx things so since I made a little fun at the Alberta snowfall, I could be laughing if we get some type of crazy winter storm that blows in. Then again…nope…I don’t think I would be laughing so much as cursing…loudly. lol….

So…the gig at the Company House on Saturday was amazing! Such a great time and I can’t stop listening to Ana Egge’s new disc “Road to My Love”! We got this gig on video so maybe some clips to upload to the dropcard in the next few months if ya got one ;P If you don’t, you should probably pick one up from one of my shows coming up. Just sayin lol!

I’m off to Antigonish today to rehearse for the show at the Justamere Cafe tomorrow night! The show is just over half sold so make sure you buy tickets and reserve ahead of time! I have special guest musicians Donald MacLennan on violin, mandolin, and harmonies, and Greg Hann on drums. It’s our little trio and it’s going to be a great night! The show is going to start at 6:00 and go over a dinner time setting, and I think the Justamere may have a new little menu? If not yet, they will soon and they’re menu is awesome either way! If you’re around Antigonish, come on out and join me and the boys! If you’re not, enjoy your weekend and the sun and the summer breeze….and the fact that you can walk around without a coat on in flip flops. I’m stoked!

Did someone hit me with a bat in my sleep?

Hola People!…well..it’s Monday…and I hit a brick wall with my head today. I was just cruisin’ around on my bike enjoying the sun and thinking it was Sunday when I turned around to look behind me for a second so I could cross the street safely. As I turned my head forward, the word reality flashed before my eyes and this wall came out of nowhere!

Ok..so…I have alot of stuff to do this week and I’m having a little trouble following my to do lists after an amazing, relaxed weekend..the last one I will have for awhile. But for the record…this hitting the wall thing actually happened when I was about ten but instead of a brick wall, it was a parked trailer…ahahahhahahaha! I had a concussion for 3 days and puked my guts out. I also still have a scar on my forhead to prove it ..and it’s not the one below my eyebrow..that’s a whole other story lol!

So..this week..Tuesday I head to the studio to hang out with Dale Murray and try out a little more recording! It’s going to be wicked..I will not tell you what song we’re doing though..that’s a surprise. Then Thursday night I’m gonna jam with the Stanfields! This will also be an frickin’ riot! Watch out..Kim Wempe and the Stanfields tour coming soon lol…check them out! and if you ever have the chance to see these guys live..don’t be ridiculous…I wanna see you there!

So these are the two exciting things this week..the rest…well..the rest is lists upon lists of little small details that probably don’t matter and just give me more of a chance of having that huge indent between my eyebrows that makes me look like I frowned my life away but I will try to concentrate on smiling while doing computer work for hours and hours a day lol…I hope you all have a great week though..I didn’t mean to put a dent in it but rather wanted to make you giggle and possibly relate.

Don’t forget about the Ana Egge gig on Saturday at the Company House! This is going to be an amazing show! Like I said..she on tour with Joel Plaskett right now…Check..her..out!

See you soon folks! “Keep your feet on the ground and your head outta Friday, it’s only Monday today.” bahahahahahahah..Til then..Hope you’re “Havin a time!”…especially you Adam! lol
