On leaving Sugar Daddies, we agreed to take a trip over to Yucca. Despite the fact that Scotty had told me that hye probably wouldn't be at open mic, it'd be pretty stupid on my last night not to make sure. And Katie had suggested that it'd be cool to have Troy sign my sling. Plus, we had to pick up the Truckers On Speed CD's. So we headed on over to Southern, and Katie did a lap of the car park (getting quite paranoid in the process, as she tends to do). When she didn't spot Scott's car, she was ready to just go home, but I convinced her that we should go in.

We parked and went in, I pulled up a seat in front of the stage, and Katie went up to the bar. Apparently as soon as Venus say Katie she said "I completely forgot about the CD's until you walked in!". Which was pretty hilarious! In anycase, we state there for a bit, and it wasn't long before Troy had appeared, and came up to talk to us. He immediately asked what happened to my arm. He said it sucked, and then immediately followed up with "is there anything to sign?". This was pretty damn cool, as I'd gotten fairly sold on the idea once Katie suggested it, and not even having to ask Troy was awesome! [smile] Katie pulled out her sharpie, and away he went!

Before too long, open mic fired back up. A girl took the stage, with a Ibenez guitar, which made me interested to see if it was going to be some hard rock. Alas not...at all. [smile] We sat there for a bit, and then decided to leave once we'd finished our drinks. We'd done what we came her to do. Without Johnson present, and the safe beat that Troy wasn't going to play, there was little reason to hang around. On any other night, sitting around at Yucca, even for open mic would be a fine, but tonight we couldn't drink, and the option of rest was at our finger tips, so it wasn't a hard decision to head on back to the apartment.

After leaving I expressed some regret on not tracking down Troy and saying bye, since I doubtably would see him before I leave.

On getting back to the apartment, we commented, as it approached midnight, how even an "early night" ends up pretty late. We noted how it actually wasn't that long until open mic at Sugar Daddies would be over and Steve would be back on, but it wasn't hard to know that I was good.
