Sat outside of a show a long ways back in the town of Santa Barbara and watched one of my many bosses at the time show me how to pick up girls. I hadn't asked him to show me, nor did I really care if was going to anyways. I was shy and truly just into drinking and pills at the time, but I humored him anyways. He just stood up and pointed at a girl and said "Hey, that's my belt." She looked at him like a crazy, and of course replied, "No it's not," and the conversation began.

I really wish the Vicodin I had taken hadn't kicked in so powerfully at that moment so I could tell you what happened after that, but I can tell you that The Skatalites were fucking amazing that night. And we aren't talking third wave crap ska from the 90's (which I am guilty of liking for a few months... I have the balls to admit my faults). No, we are talking GOOOOOOD. Mid 60's, foot stompin, horn trumpin' good! So good in fact that I can't even think of a witty metaphor to throw in this sentence. Take that!

I also literally ran in to Lloyd Brevett by accident at that show too and thought I broke him. Don't feel no pain when in the veins. (yeah, I made that up.)
