After spending most of today out, we were looking forward to a night in. Of course, as soon as we got home, we got word that Violet Wild were playing at Iguana Macks. So there goes the staying in plans.

We didn't get the message until after 6, and weren't going to go until we ate (ironically, it would have been on the way back from AJ), so we didn't get there until 7:30. Fun times. It was, as expected, Bobby & Josh acoustic on the patio. At the end of the night they pulled out a great version of Don't Stop Believing by Journey. I definitely was thinking that it'd be good if they got the new songs down on CD sometime soon! About the new songs, it was surprising when Bobby announced that the one about the hole in the roof was written by Josh - it really seemed like a Scott song to me! Marc Norman was there, adding tambourine stylings. Later in the night we had a delightful Chandler vs. Tempe conversation with him, which was very enjoyable for us. [wink] Chico Diaz also showed up, who is in town for Black Moods rehearsals.

Afterwards we headed down to Sucker Punch Sally's to catch Steve Larson again. Last night I was keen to go again, but then today it just seemed like too much effort. But since we were out, and feeling more refreshed, it made sense, and once we got there I was absolutely glad that we made it down there. A fun time, and Steve played a bunch of different songs from last night, which was cool. Good times.

After a little reconn mission around town, we headed home.

6 Degrees From Mark Zubia

From the late night conversation after shows file - Any Tempe musician worth anything came be related in Mark Zubia within under 6 degrees of separation, even when the rule that every degree must have people within the sane band.

The whole thing came up with doing the 6 degrees of separation of anyone we saw play on Friday night. But before long we established that you don't even need to do that, you can just make the target Mark Zubia.

Try to do it - think of someone from the scene who can't be related back to Mark in less than 6 degrees of separation. I don't think it can be done.

And such is an insight into our mindsets after a long night out on the town.
