Second Sunday Singer Songwriter SLAM

Yeah, buddy! This month's SLAM was one for the record books. I wasn't working, so it was nice to sit back and heckle the host and participants. Here were the results:

Jake Hemming, aka Big Sexy, has once again walked away with the pot. It came it at a record 180 dollars. Tip jars are wonderful things. He sang the "saddest song he's ever written" which is about his parents. He almost cried. He is the most beautiful man I know.

Ali Marcus of Seattle came in second, again. This is 3 in a row that she has been stuck in that second place finish. She's gonna win it though, I feel it.

The second round was graced with the aforementioned badasses, along with Ron Hardesty and Matt Coughlin of Seattle. They both did well, but the judges weren't feeling it. Next time...

The first round bid farewell to Eric Miller of Seattle (who did a phenomenal job, by the way), Aleah SpringSnow, Arlan Lackie, and James Lee Harris, Jr.

There is no way to accurately write what a wonderful night this was. And it was Jasmine's 30th birthday. Her friends came out to welcome her into a new decade and all was very, very merry.

Pints that I enjoyed were as follows: 21st Anniversary Doppelbock, Wreck the Halls Winter Ale, and a bit of Ginger Pale Ale to wash down the chocolate cake. A wise choice I might add.

Back to the grindstone on Tuesday. Should be an awesome week for music.
