Had a nice little Friday last night.
Started off with some good conversation down at Natty's and made it up to the Blind Tiger for a Zeppelin cover band called "Kashmir". They call themselves the "best Zeppelin tribute band in the world", and they were definitely legit. The lead singer looked and sounded like Robert Plant, the guitarist was RIDICULOUS, the drummer had some sick solos, and best of all: the bass player looked JUST like Horatio Sanz from SNL. The highlights of the night came during their versions of "Ramble On" and "Over the Hills and Far Away". They played for over three hours, which was great, but by the end I was so tired from dancing that I would stop and not realize I was standing still until I'd get called out about it. Anyway, I definitely got my Zeppelin fix for the next year, but it was an HONOR getting to see "the world's best Zeppelin tribute". Of course, I'm sure 'world's best' is thrown around on these bands just like it's thrown around coffee shops on every corner in New York (picture Buddy the Elf: "Congratulations!"), but who's counting?
After leaving the show, I got slapped in the face by hunger, so going to Herbie's seemed like a good idea. I chugged a sweet tea as soon as I could, and ordered the amazing combination of french fries and a country ham biscuit. I decided a long time ago that biscuits are my favorite form of bread. Think about it. They're ridiculously good. Rolls are nice, baguettes are good with cheese, but biscuits can be good with ANYTHING. If I had it my way, I'd use biscuits instead of bread for everything from sandwiches to even burgers. Mmmm, mmmm. Cornbread is a close second.
Anyway, the late-night meal was amazing at the time, as eating past midnight always seems to be while you're enjoying the food, but I'm feeling it now. Ah well. It's the weekend, right? "Ya owe it to yahself!" And dang, biscuits are good.
Got to sleep in today, too, which was nice and much needed. It's always a good start to a weekend when you get to sleep in until right before a State game. They're on now, and we're up 15-2. Hopefully it'll last, but sorry folks, I gotta go watch this. Work later, then Saturday night.
Enjoy yours.
