Dave's first NY gig (ICU Bar)

WHAT A NIGHT!

Dave's show at ICU Bar was so much fun! And the bar was ultra cool. It's like someone built a small stage and bar in their basement. It was a very laid-back but talent-filled free-for-all night. Dave did great- he played a few sets, and invited Geron to play a few, too! Eric also went up and jammed with Dave and Geron here and there. I even went up and played light drums. Everyone had a blast! We got home around 4am.

A good mix of people filled the place throughout the night (especially after 1am!): friends, trendies, jocks, and musicians. Even actor Ron Perlman wandered in and stayed for about two hours! [Note: This was my second celebrity sighting. The first was Harry Connick, Jr. standing in the same elevator. Dave had seen (and yelled at) Denzel Washington a few months later.] Ron (or "Mr.Perlman" as Eric approached him with) was having a great time watching Dave play. (He has the most distinctive voice!) Quite the cool guy.

My camera's still stuck on night, so here's a bizarre photo of Eric and Dave on stage...
