Kevin A. in NYC!

One of our great friends (and one of Dave's longest-time friends) Kevin, came into town from Florida on business. We (Dave, Jef, Eric and I) promptly met up with Kevin for drinks and food. Halfway through the night, it started raining and still hasn't stopped!

We walked over the Arlene's Grocery in the East Village, a most awesome place to see bands and have a few beers. Nice to finally get out at 6 and begin having fun by 6:30!

After a quick bite, we headed over to The Living Room. ...By the way, if you are ever in NYC, please take the time to see music there! Every single time we go there, we discover a new, amazing band or even new style of music. Tonight, we saw "My Brightest Diamond", a Bjork-meets-Tori Amos sound with full strings and electric band mix. They had the perfect amount of "air" in the music- not too much singing overlapping the beautiful music, and not too much overwhelming electric versus strings- they sounded very well produced, and the singer was extremely talented!

On the way back to Kevin's hotel, we came across an amazing Spanish bar/restaurant called "Oliva" that had a group of Spanish musicians jamming. Great atmosphere, really great drinks. (Especially the mojitas!)

It was so great to see Kevin again! (And very strange to see him here in NYC) We're hoping to see him again before he heads back out to his next project...

Kevin and Dave, Sharon:




Kevin! We miss you already!!!
XOXO
