Friday

Friday DAY dragged... literally. The week of the 20th felt like two months. EGH!

Last night was a good night. No, wait, it was awesome. I haven't had that much fun since I went to Vegas!

It started with plans of getting some grubb at a local Irish pub, washing it down with a couple of drinks, and then catching a late showing of Mr. & Mrs. Smith with a couple of really good friends of mine. Well we made it to Henesseys, the Irish pub, at a fairly decent hour and had some pretty darn good food, we had a few drinks (just enough to get a good buzz going). We were chatting up a storm, catching up on all sorts of crap... and complaining about all the sort shit going on in each of our sad little lives... Then we see a guy with a guitar, mic, and other type of musical technical gear in hand setting up right in front of our table. I figured, Not bad, I get a free show too!

Well his name is James McKenna.

In the restaurant he mainly sang cover songs. Some Gavin DeGraw, Sublime, Dave Mathews, all with his own style to it... My favorite, though... was his version of Genuine's "Pony". I loved it. It rocks! Anyway, one of my friends and I bought his CD. His CD has his stuff, its pretty good. Well as we were getting ready to leave Henesseys so as to make our 10:30 movie showing, he takes his 20 minute break and decides to sit and hang out with us... really cool guy. Nice and laid back! (gotta love that)... anywy we end up befriending him, his two tables worth of friends. All really nice people... most of them from Manchester (sp?). Well needless to say we didn't make our 10:30 showing, but we did leave the restaurant at 1:30am with a MEGA buzz.

All in all... last night... made up for the week!

Oh and yes, my friends and I have made plans to go see him this coming Friday too!
