Two down, two to go.
America Rosa did the Global Connections stage at the Capital Ex (aka Klondike Days) today …and it was kinda good and kinda bad. The good was running into a few people that I wouldn’t normally see at a latin event …Phyllis, Ihor, Stephanie, Luc, Courtney, Brett, Alma, Erin et al. – add to that a bunch of food eating and tequila drinking that made things a little more festive. It was my birthday today too – and now that I think about it, I didn’t think about it till Stephanie mentioned it was her birthday tomorrow …and this happened at the end of the night. So I suppose it was a birthday party …lol, except no one, including the birthday fella, knew about it.
The bad was finishing the third set and having the local vendors/management upset because we were too loud. However, that’s not the bad part so much …but rather finding out about it after you’ve finished playing. Someone could of told me and then I could of made faces at our percussion players – that would of got their attention and I would have played softer and they would subsequently have to play quieter as well and then all would be good and nobody would say anything and everyone would be happy and my ears wouldn’t be ever-so-slightly ringing as they are now. But yeah, that didn’t exactly happen. And we’re back again mañana anyway …to do the whole thing again. And who knows, maybe it’ll be different?
Maybe.
The other good thing is that I biked to the show …which means that I gave my knee a real test for the first time since the whole swelling thing happened. I’m hoping that it’s done …the problem(s) that is. I’ll gradually start with some light 5k’s next week and see how things go from there. I’ve been favoring it for the last few weeks – so I’m sure I’ll be careful not to over-do it. Fingers crossed of course.
Pollo. He’s still Loco.
