A Great Night Out

Last night was the second annual World Music Jam at House Blend Cafe. So far, I have been to both.

It was a great night. Jettison Never and Jason Sharp both played last night (and both were incredible). I finally got to meet Tony Sheng (last year was a near miss (part1/part2)). I got to hang with some friends that I have met in the last few months and I made new friends with people I probably would have never met otherwise. I just wish I could remember all of their names. Alex McManus is a hard name to forget, but only because I knew his name before I met him. Remembering names is definitely a skill I need to work on. I have GOT to start writing names down when I meet people.

Tonight, Jason Sharp is going to be playing again along with Chasing Jonah. I imagine I will get to hang with some more people and am hoping to finally meet Mark Marsden who lives nearby and ministers with Scooby at St. Paul’s. When I got my tags renewed recently, I was asked, yet again, if I was related to him. Best of my knowledge, I am not, but it is still pretty cool and he is supposed to be a pretty cool guy.

I am also blogging over at Voxtropolis now (Alex McManus’s City of Voices) as well as at ChrisMarsden.com. The whole idea of Voxtropolis really intrigues me and long term, it may become my primary place for blogging. On the short term, I think I am going to post some here, some there, and then posts like this I will cross post to both blogs.

These pictures are from last night and off my phone. Better than a lot of phone cameras, but still not great. I will try and get some better pictures tonight. (I will post to the same set)
