Aww yeah... Gettin ready... A little Excitement

My week: Preparing for Burning Man again! Organizing food, Water, Drinks, shelter, power, fabulousity of outfits, LED's! and camping location are my things to tackle this week. Next week will be another wonderful life-changing adventure in the middle of nowhere, with about 40,000 of my closest friends.

And today in the middle of all this planning I JUST SCORED 4 CHEAP STEVIE WONDER TICKETS! $36 each baby! So I'll be leaving a day later than planned. Whats even sweeter is that 2 of my dear friends just landed the gig with him. YES, Stevie! Victoria Theodore and Errol Cooney have been friends in music for years, and it'll be great to see them share the stage with one of the greats of our time.

So many of these great musicians I've worked with for years and get to call friends are gettin' gigs with great artists lately. I hope someone notices and writes an article- it's really a wonderful thing. Here's just a few:
Nelson Braxton, Bass: Michael Bolton (Nelson is a bassist I've looked up to for a while- until now! (just kidding))
Lynette, Keys: Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas
Sundra Manning, keys: Prince, Rafael Saddiq
Victoria Theodore, Keys: Stevie Wonder
Errol Cooney, Guitar: Jessica Simpson, Fantasia, Stevie Wonder
Martin Luther, vox/guitar: The Roots
Tal Morris, guitar: CCR, Huey Lewis
and ME, bass: whomever will listen. Actually I'll be back out with my Hip-Hop group (Lyrics Born) this year, and my rock group (Whitesnake) next year. Possibly some more Toni Tony Toné or Eric Martin Dates.

While some of these names may not mean much to you, they're my peeps and collegues and it shows that The Bay Area is finally gettin a lil love for all the talent here. There's more talent here than in LA- just not the recognition.

Well that's it for now...

Mood: Anticipation!
