Friday has once again become a day that matters. You look forward to it all week. You savor it all day. And then you shout for joy when it's go-time and the wide open weekend is spread out before you. This Friday is fun because Rose Hill Drive is at Cafe Du Nord, and I'm really looking forward to checking them out. I wrote about them here quite a while ago, but this is my first opportunity to see them live. Du Nord is a classy little venue in SF, and just a few doors down from my favorite bar in the city. We've got a crew going, so that means we'll get to take over a section of the floor, and in a club this small it'll mean we'll own the place.

Of course, truth be told, I'd rather be with James, DM and Tina down in New Orleans at the HOB, hearing the sweet sounds of Tweedy on his acoustic, but a trip like that just wasn't feasible after all our recent travels in SE Asia. There, Fridays didn't matter any more than any other day, and quite often we had no idea what day or date it was. Which was magnificent, of course.

We've still got a buncha hours before the weekend begins, but here's some music from Stanton Moore's new(ish) album to keep you grooving through the day. Click on the 'e-card' and have a listen. I'm definitely picking up this disc ASAP. There's a great Zep cover in there, too.

Another way to kill time is to check out the close-up images of these tiny creatures. There's more of them than us, so watch your back!
