I try my hardest to ask questions no one else has asked. So I was very proud when Jay admitted that some of my Q's were the first of their kind. He gave off an amazing energy - positivity and a vast drive to accomplish all in his heart. It's hard for anyone not to be enamoured by Jay - everyone around him was - even the Gibson dog! It was a successful interview and I am really looking forward to writing this out. You'll have to wait for the December issue of http://www.unchartedsounds.com/ to read it. :)
Kalen smiled broadly when I spoke of the interview on our first date Friday. I feel a little self-indulgent when I speak of my successes to people I'm getting to know. For some reason, he made me feel ok about it, though. He stepped away for a minute to grab more beers when I spotted a trio of moustachioed folks laughing in the corner of Sweaty Betty's.
MOVEMBER!
Yes, they were celebrating Movember and I was so happy! They even had a few spares, so I had it on when Kalen returned. He also partook in the moustache fun and hurried off to get the five of us shots of Jager. Awesome. After failing to take the shot without my moustache falling off, Kalen caved to our requests - he straightened his and balanced one of the bar chairs on his chin.
After much applause, we slipped out of the place and hit up The Social for a rap party of his and ran into Noah Wiley. I didn't talk to him, coz I don't really know much about him... He was very friendly with everyone though, which is always nice to see. :)
The funniest thing had to be when Kalen said his lips were so chapped from all the fire eating. He is a professional fire eater, but it's just so uncanny to hear - I couldn't stop laughing!
By the way, Jay's show on Thursday night at the Dakota Tavern was totally awesome. He did an AWESOME cover of The Band's The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. If you're into folk, blues, or country tunes, definitely check him out the next time he's in town!
