Wild Wild Wednesday.

So today was a very special day.

Today was my friend Elizabeth's first show EVER. She played at Buffalo South in Charleston and totally ROCKED IT. She has such a pretty, soothing voice...you can listen to her sing for hours. She played for about 3 hours, doing both covers and her original songs. To listen to her music, check her out on MySpace (www.myspace.com/ehughesmusic) or do a bit of light stalking on Facebook. She has several songs from her demo up, so check them out!

During a break between sets, Elizabeth introduced me to her friends Jaron (who is totally fabulous and who I am officially in love with) and Ryan. It turns out I went to high school with both of them but never met them! (This is actually totally normal, since our high school had 3600 people.) Actually, to be fair, I met Ryan once through my ex-boyfriend, but as I generally try to supress memories of that particular relationship, I didn't remember. Anyways...it turns out that Ryan is actually a fairly successful musician himself! He's opened for several major acts, has his own merch, and ringtones! His music is fabulous, and you should check him out! You can find him on Facebook, MySpace (www.myspace.com/ryanlillmusic), Twitter (@ryanlillmusic), or at http://www.ryanlill.com/. But take note, loved ones, Twitter is his favorite form of communication.

So after all of this fabulousness, Ryan, Jaron, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth's friend Cameron and I decided to head out to Pour House in Charleston to hear a band called Deepwater Soul Society play. I had never heard of them (maybe once or twice in passing), but I do so enjoy dark bars, scruffy men, and new music, especially when that music is live. So since this particular adventure was bound to have all of those things, I was all about it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the music of Deepwater Soul Society was the love child of Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon Era) and Dave Matthews Band. So again, I must plug these wonderful musicians--look them up on Facebook and MySpace (www.myspace.com/deepwatersoulsociety).

Delicious music, new friends, scruffy men...what more could a girl ask for?

Keep it classy and fabulous!
