After a fairly exhausting week, tonight was my night to really kick off a weekend... and what better way to kick off a really world-class weekend than to go see an old friend perform with a band in Hollywood?

Went to Relax Bar out into the sorta sleepy grungy part of the Boulevard of Broken Dreams (better address and directions at the link above)... Weird little venue, that. Meredith and I both were having college flashbacks of places we used to go hear bands back in the day. Difference for her was that here she was performing in one.

That Meredith would be Meredith Meyer, who some old Orlando friends of mine may know. It's not every day you find someone you've known in a different place and time that's found a working niche for themselves elsewhere - but there it is. It was exciting to me to get to hear her tonight, and doubly good to see and hear just how beautiful she sounds live. Am I gushing? *shrug* Maybe. But it's deserved.

I'd love to go on more about the evening: it was excellent. Found another couple bands that I really enjoy hearing live. The whole night was good, but a couple of those bands were ones I'd go hear again and again - and in a city packed to the rim with excellent bands, that's saying something.
