Had two shows booked for today. The show at Serenity Cafe disappeared when Serenity Cafe disappeared last week.
So a 4:30-7 show at Crema Cafe downtown, and then dinner and beers with my kin (Aunt Diane, Uncle Jim and Grandma Wilma Facknitz) who had come all the way up to Traverse City from Sterling Heights, MI just to see the Jeremy show (and do some shopping, see the bay, hit the casinos, etc.).
Small crowd on this cold and ugly Saturday afternoon. Two people who had seen the show last night at Horizon Books, Deb and Barry, had come back to see the show today at Crema Cafe and buy CD's. Awesome. And they got to see a Jeremy Facknitz show when Jeremy Facknitz is awake, because last night I scored about 10 hours sleep and was feeling like a thousand bucks again.
Matt Mansfield joined me on a few songs and played a few of his own. It was good to hear him again. He doesn't want you to know this because he's one of many musicians on this planet who are embarrassed to say they shared a stage with me, but we were in a band together when I was 19 and he was 15. We were... grrrreat.
Went out for walleye and booze afterwards. Tied a few too many on. Matt said something to rubbed me the wrong way and I said the "F" word in front of my Grandma. Apologized. Ah well. Great times.
