I forgot to mention...last Saturday we went to the last night of 'Mardi Gras' at Universal Studios. They've had bands performing each Saturday night for the last month. Bands like 'KC and the Sunshine Band, Jason Mraz, Huey Lewis and the News' and all that. We actually went there a few weeks back for KC but the band's start time kept getting pushed back so we just left.

Anyway. Last Saturday the band was 'Hootie and the Blowfish'. Now, I'm no real fan of live music. I know some people are (like my sister) but I just can't get into it. The speakers and amps and whatever the bands usually have sound like crap to me with distortion and everything. I'm just not a big fan. I wasn't gonna miss a chance to see Hootie though, particularly for free when it's actually one of the four bands in history I'd pay to see.

They played about a dozen songs. 'Hold my hand', 'Let her cry', 'Only wanna be with you', all their good 'classics'. They played some new stuff too which I thought was good and they also mentioned they had an album out in August so I'll probably pick that up. I did get a shirt. I had to support Darius since he's a big TK fan. He was even on the show when Tony played his celebrity golf tournament a few weeks back.

All in all, it was a good show. They speakers and all that sounded like crap at times but the band was worth it.

(now if I could only find my old hootie CD)
