last night was wonderful. i was going only on memory of how phenomenal redheaded stepchild was, and was blown away all over again. kathryn koch, their lead singer, stomps & growls & wails (on her saxophone,too), and is in many ways reminiscent of janis joplin. i've never experienced anyone singing that powerfully in person before, besides kathryn (

Oh hooray! You got to see them and the "heartbreak hotel" bus, which I haven't seen yet but have heard the whole saga of. Where did you see them, Fogartyville I assume?

oh okay you just answered my question. we're overlapping LOL.

well i think that is really nifty that you're friends with kathryn. she's an inspiration to me, although i haven't seen her perform all that many times. this is a small world!!

The just opened a Cold Stone in Channelside (Tampa). There's always an amazingly long line, but worth the wait.

As for performing, when I lived in Nashville, I hit every open mike night avaliable. It's great experience and the other performers can be really supportive.

Cold Stone Creamery...

There have been a bunch of those popping up all over Long Island, but I haven't gotten the chance to go yet... I really should, because from what I've heard it's soooo amazing. Their website makes my heart stop... oh man, artery clogging yummy goodness.

My family went to a similar creamery in San Luis Obispo when we went to California a few years ago, but it wasn't Cold Stone... still, freshly baked cones, ingredients mixed in by hand right in front of you... <3

We have a Cold Stone here, and we finally went one night last week. To be honest, I wasn't that fond of it. I think it is because I prefer Maggie Moo's, which we have been going to for several years. Same concept, but better ice cream.
