Rode down to the Zoo bar festivities Saturday night once the little one was tucked away in bed. Had a great time solo, actually. I was impressed with the event all the way around. No waiting in lines -- $10 entry was a bargain for the entertainment, beer was cheap ($3) and the whole place had a nice party vibe. The weather couldn't have been better. It was one of those nights where I was proud to live in Lincoln -- it had the feel of a big city event, but had the small-town friendlyness thing going on as well.
I rocked out to E.C. Scott and the Self Righteous Brothers. E.C. Scott was my favorite of the two -- she belted out a number of great blues tunes as well as danceable doo-boppy melodies (whatever that means). She did a killer funky rendition of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, which was my favorite of the night. You really had to be there to explain the Self Righteous Brothers. I had not seen them before, so I was highly amused and entertained, to say the least.
The evening was capped off with a trail ride home through the dark.

I was there. The Self-Righteous Brothers was born in my bedroom... I should probably clarify.
Sonny Self-Righteous was my roommate back in the day. Mister Self-Righteous was our homeless minstrel that would pass out on our couches. While I went to class and toiled away at work, Mister Self-Righteous would make up silly songs on the four-track in my room. I'd get home with mustard trowel sayings and little doggy lyrics... Then they got tuxedos and the rest was history.
Anyways, a-doodle doodle doo.
(you can borrow my cd is you want to hear it sometime.)
Which one was Sonny? (with/without hair). They looked like they were having a great time.
I'll take you up on the CD offer -- although I imagine they're the kind of band that thrives on live shows.
Where were you at? I was up front gettin' my groove on.
Oh... I'll tell you more about my Saturday night on the next ride.
In the meantime...
