Seeing Jason perform was cool, a nice little set outside the Phoenix Arts Museum. It's pretty cool to see them exposed to the crowd (which made parking fun) that was down there for the event.

We were both glad that there was formal voting set up, and hence could put in our votes for them to play Tempe Music Festival this year.

On the way home we stopped in at Yucca to check out the new expansion, which is finished, and as far as I can tell opened tonight. Looks like a pretty cool hang. However, we'd expected the west wall of Yucca to have come down, which isn't the case. So, in theory, the next time What Laura Says plays, you still won't be able to move! [wink] Certainly I would predict, especially if Yucca remains one of the only live venues in Tempe, that will come. But either way, it looks pretty cool in there, and I like the old Yucca style booths in the new place. Old Yucca hasn't changed much, other the two new doors (near the exit, and near the booths) going to and from the expansion.

I'm sure we'll get to give it a proper try out before long. It's kinda weird that we don't have any Yucca shows on the immediate horizon (there's a first time for everything I guess), hence why we decided to pop our heads in tonight, to still at least be ahead of the game.

The bouncer did confirm with us that we had current ideas even though "I know you guys are always here", which made me think two things - the first being that it'd have been cool to whip out my cool new AZ ID (if it had of been required). And the second - it's pretty damn cool already being a recognizable Yucca regular. [smile]

We're going down to the Phoenix Arts Museum tonight to see Jason Longo (with Curtis, Thomas and Jeff) compete in the quarter finals for the Train Tracks, competing for a spot at Tempe Music Fest. Should be fun.

Jason's comment about "Thomas Muffin McLaufenblurr" is literally the coolest thing I've ever heard Thomas called. [lol]
