i can't even tell you what a wonderful time i had last night.

first and most importantly, i was reunited with [livejournal.com profile] burningcandles after six years. i think i could ride in his car drinking vanilla dr peppers and talking about music for a month and a half. i met my goddaughter, madison olivia!!! she is a beautiful, smart, and amazing grunty baby girl.

jasonaksel, one of my dear friends (that doesn't even begin to describe my feelings for him but it will have to do for now), and his wife nicole have an art studio up in the city where they have been hosting free events. last night was a poetry reading and 3 bands played. i got to see jasonaksel and his lovely family, his daughters were running around gleefully. erika and jay came. gray lang came! and jenna and james were there. turns out one of sam's friends sheridan was there because he was in one of the bands called tall cotton.

well, the unexpected thing was that the music was absolutely delightful. the first guy was the opener, and the second guy was unexpectedly musical and downhome- he is called the bloody mule. then tall cotton played- banjo, guitar, mandolin, and standup bass. they played two full long sets of fucking bluegrass and by the end of the second set i was onstage singing with them! any kind of night where i sing on a stage is a good night for me. i called sam after the band played and he got to talk to sheridan, who he loves. ryan hit it off with jay and we all got to hang out in the executive lounge upstairs. jenna gave me a pot she threw that was made of oklahoma clay that she mined. i came home with a heart so full of love that i thought it was going to explode.

i called my dad, who was driving a truck to kansas city and was glad to hear from me at 1:30AM, and told him i sang with a bluegrass band. then i laid in my bed and sent love to everyone i could think of.

home.
friends.

and i get to do it all again in norman tonight. i am blessed and loved and i can never, ever forget that.
