Wed continued...


Picked up Matt, Dave and Kim from the airport and got back to the hotel. They all pretty much crashed since they had to get up at 1:00am to make the flight. Went to the Doubletree and got a schedule of events. We are scheduled to play at Alfred's 7:15 on Thursday and 11:10 on Friday. I took a walk to Beale Street and checked the club place out. Wow! great stage and lightning...large dance floor...located next to the Fedex Forum.

Had to go to the airport again to pick up Kyle. He called and was already at the airport....seems like he had messed up the arrival time. Right at we started to pull out of the pickup area, we see Steve Bailey...waiting for a taxi....no way...told Steve to hop in and save a few bucks. Kyle managed to program the GPS for his hotel...after we took a side trip and a couple of 300 degree turns.....yes I said 300....tale for another time..

After enjoying the hotels free dinner, the guys and their spouses headed to Beale Street for some music....first stop.....Alfred's of course...had to check out the place again.....great band (Darryl Raines) with Pat Pepin sitting in with them. Matt & Dave went back to crash again. My wife and myself hit Ground Zero Blues Club and BB King's before calling it a night.

Next up: the semi finals on Thursday...will try to get some more pics up.....later.

Wilbur,
300 degrees - man, do I need to come down and show you guys how to use a GPS! Glad to see everyone is in and settled. Tennie says hi to Kim, hope she enjoys all the partying. :-) Kick butt and go for it! Have a great time (although that is an understatement with you) and enjoy the moment!
