Rocket, I wanted to go see Johnny Winter tomorrow, but its my moms birthday and I don't think she'll be up for it. But I did see somewhere online that Walter Trout and someone else was going to be playing close to here. I'll hafta check up on that.
But yeah, thanks! I'll be sure to check on these clubs.

Alright.
I'll check it out. We might go to Johnny Winter tonight.  I'm begging my mom. I really hope we can go.

Ohhh, last night we went to the ocean club and there was an open mic blues jam there and I played with these cool guys. It was awesome! I got invited to come back on sunday to jam some more. pretty cool. now I've played on both coasts!
