good times with the killer crocs

Todd and I went to check out the Killer Crocs Of Uganda at the Red Eyed Fly last night - great show, guys! Todd has known those guys for a long time, and I was definitely looking forward to seeing them onstage, since we will both be at Toddfest on 22 July; it was a blast! Afterwards we hung out and BS'd... got to meet and greet everyone, so that was really cool... I'm really stoked about the show - there's gonna be an assload of rock unloaded at The Velvet Spade! Speaking of The Velvet Spade, we drifted over there after the show at the REF to see what was cooking and get another look at the venue... while we were there we also caught a bit of Topaz - these guys are awesome! Funk rock at its best - driving bass, solid drums, crybaby action on the guitars and a sax to round it all out... good stuff, Maynard! Another good thing to see was that somehow they found a way to cram six (yes, six) guys on the teeny indoor stage... which bodes well, if it keeps raining in July... so either way, we are good to go. Jeff S. is back in town but will be leaving to be with his family and will be back next week - keep him in your thoughts.
