Friends from the Owl & Thistle

These shots were taken around 2AM at the end of a very fun night of music, dancing, cocktails, friends and a little magic. I was a dancing fool. . . . or maybe just a fool. God I love this scene! Here is Billy Joe from the Dusty 45's and the Vinyl Avengers with Magen one of the waitresses. I like Magen and although she says she doesn't dance I've coaxed her out on the dance floor. I finally got up the nerve to ask her out. . . and she said yes!! I lack confidence in my dancing and I lack confidence in the world of dating. I love dancing and I think Magen and I will have a good time when we go out. She doesn't work Monday or Tuesday nights so I guess it will be one of those nights.



This is Tawnya the other waitress. She's also a massage therapist.



Here we have the dynamic duo of Jason Baily the bartender and Ian the bouncer. All great folks that I've gotten to know over the last year and a half or so. I got in plenty of dances with Julie, Lauren, and a couple of girls I've never danced with. I joke that I'm the worst golfer I know and the worst dancer I know. I don't really seem to get any better at either activities, but I sure enjoy them both. Fuck it, I'm gonna keep on keep'en on.



The band was excellent as usual. CT is no longer the drummer. Now there's a fellow named Kelly who plays great drums and a mean harmonica. I encourage anyone in the Seattle area to join us in the fun every Wednesday night at the Owl and Thistle in Post Alley near Pioneer Square. The Vinyl Avengers go on around 10PM and play 3 ROCKING sets of music that ranges from Honky Tonk, to Lounge with Micah on keyboard and Billy Joe on Guitars, Lead Vocals and trumpet. I shot some video last night, as well as having Zak tape Julie and me dancing.

Cupid by Sam Cook

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress
There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness
For I love a girl that doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix, so

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me

Now, Cupid, if your arrow make her love strong for me
I promise I will love her until eternity
I know, between the two of us, her heart we can steal
Help me if you will, so...

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me

Cupid, don't you hear me calling you?
I need you, Cupid
