out of control dinner

So tonight I made meatloaf.....yup....I did.  I'm not shameful, nor will I take it back.  I made what I made and I loved every ounce of it......sure most people don't mix brown sugar, saltine crackers, onions, and tomato sauce(plus other items)....but that doesn't mean it doesn't taste like heaven.....i mean who are you to say meatloaf isn't delicious....cause it is.....it's damn delicious, in fact I don't blame Michael Lee Aday for taking the name: Meatloaf.  It's masculine, old school, and brave.  Do I have a picture of my dish....hell no!  I ate it.....and it was good!  Oh I might have leftovers, but why do you care?  I mean, do you want my meatloaf leftovers, cause you can't have any.  I'm not selfish, I'm protective.....like a father would be of his teenage girl.  Are you looking at my meatloaf?   You better not be.....punk.  My meatloaf is classy and deserves someone who will appreciate it; someone who will do anything for it; someone who won't ever eat, but eat rational amounts so as to conserve the leftovers.......like meatloaf sandwich, re-heated dinner, or cold meatloaf breakfast; how 'bout meatloaf smoothie, or meatloaf on a salad....no?.....then what about ground meatloaf in potatoes, or meatloaf balls?....wait...that just doesn't sound good at all....but the others...yes the delicious other options for meatloaf....well, i can't wait till tomorrow.

recommended listening:  Meatloaf, Dead Ringer For Love from The Very Best of Meatloaf (even though we all know I just made the very best of meatloaf)

What Are They Saying?

SO every now and then I google "The Lucas Cates Band" (among other things) and see what pops up. So far there haven't been any naked pictures or mudslinging (at least what I have found), but there have been some cool responses. Here are some links to those:

Sick of Being Sick

I was feeling so invincable. I havn't been truly old-school sick in a long time until yesterday, and today, and for who knows how long. Last weekend was pretty good, though. THe Lucas Cates Band CD Release Party was Saturday night at the Brink Lounge in Madison. We all dressed classy for this very loungey atmosphere. Its kind of a cross between a hotel lobby and a porno set....fake fireplaces and all! Our management team Shirley and Georgia were in town from Atlanta to give their support and talk about the future. Its pretty sweet to have good people on your side who tell you things straight up instead of blowing smoke up your ass....they smoked menthols, too...so bonus. Some of my students were there too. I don't think there is more pressure than having your students watch you perform. There were like 300 people in that room and the only reason I got even a little clammy was the fact that these kids were there. I love them to death, though, and I think its really cool that they came to support just like every other TLCB fan in the room.
SO we have a show tonight in Madison at the Cardinal bar. It's an old club that's been there forever...Tuesday night is tough, especially when you have a chest and head cold, but I'm going to follow that advice of Kenny, my guitarist; "just get a rocks glass, fill it with makers, and sip on it...but let it run down your throat really slow. That shit will clear you right up!" - for better or for worse.
