Well, it's been quite a day and I think it's safe to say that we were both absolutely exhausted tonight. If tonight had been anything but Rich Hopkins & The Luminarios I think we would have crapped out and not gone out. Hell, if the venue had been anywhere but Teakwoods the same is probably true. If a laid back environment was ever in order, it was tonight!

The dueling guitars solos, and that south of border influence in many of the songs completely work for me. Plus, and this is true whether it be the Sand Rubies or Luminarios, Rich always looks like he's having so much fun, it's hard not to entire the show just for that fact alone. I'm fairly convinced that he's another bar star.

And speaking of bar stars, Los Guys really brought it home. Katie and I had agreed that we were going to leave early, out of sheer tiredness. Once Los Guys started playing, all hope of that flew out the window. It was just one of those shows, fun as hell. Mark was taking requests for virtually the whole set, and as such broke out a lot of rarer songs from the catalog. So yeah, we stayed long past the initially agreed time, and had no problem doing so. A great night!
