OK. The Pony has gone it's first ride and it was a good one. The Cat Club is on the Sunset Strip. Slim Jim Phantom owns the place. He was the drummer for the Stray Cats and has a small club there. GREAT place for our first show. The crowd was great, the songs were tight and we had a total blast. We opened for a band that had guys from Guns n Roses, Jellyfish, Joey Ramone band, Billy Idol's band. They are all BRILLIANT musicians and their set right after ours was a lot of fun. A cover or Don't Stop Believin' that was mind blowing.


We've still got a long way to go to get to the point they were at, but we had a quick 25 minute set that was more fun than we thought. It's amazing how fast stuff goes. You get up there and sort of forget what notes, songs, lyrics etc you're even playing. You just let your mind sort of get to it and time flies by.
We're playing again at The Good Hurt Dec 11th and if anybody is here in L.A. let me know and we'll get you on the list to check it out. We've got even another song that's in the works so if you came last time, come again. If you missed it the first time, make sure you come this time. You'd hate to miss out on this much fun. www.myspace.com/theponyrunswild

We just got fiOS internet from verizon which is supposed to be really speedy, but it's CRAWLING along today so I'm not going to upload any photos on this posting. I have yet to find an internet service that is worth what they charge for it. Anyway...

-Pony pictures coming soon from last performance. We're playing again Dec 11th at Good Hurt so if you're around west LA area, plan on checking it out.

-The fires are mostly out. It was REALLY smoky and ashy for a couple days there. All the cars are dirty, lots of coughing and hazy skies and smelly air. Lots of big homes burned to the ground. Happens every year. I guess L.A.'s way of keeping population down?

-Saw Slumdog Millionaire the other night. Brilliant movie. It's in very limited release but will go wider I'm sure and will be at a theater near you sometime soon. It's another Danny Boyle masterpiece with lots of action, some great touching moments and a cool story. There's a funny moment at the end where both Sarah and I thought something different was going to happen and we were both wrong. If you see it, let me know if the same thing happened for you.

K. More postings with photos soon when the internet speeds up a bit.
