Tonight we went to see a Bela' Fleck and the Flecktones show at the jazz club 'Blue Note'!
The show started at 8:00, but we got there super early to hopefully get a good viewing spot at the bar. (It was 30 bucks for a spot at the bar or 55 bucks for a reserved table.) Well, it turned out the bar was in a horrible spot with no seats, so we put out name down for a 'no show' table.
While we were waiting at the bar, Victor Wooten walked into the place like he just got out of a cab and whizzed right by us. Both Joey and I just froze. We were kicking ourselves afterwards cause we could have asked him for a picture! For those who don't know, Victor Wooten is Joey's idol, and for good reason. It's been said that he is the best bass player since Jaco Pastorius.
We wound up getting seats at a table and enjoyed the show. They performed a bunch of songs from their Christmas album and Victor got a solo!
Then after the show we had VIP passes to hangout with the band because we are that cool. *throws hair over shoulders* Okay maybe not... They had their albums for sale upstairs and let anyone go up there to get autographs/pictures.
Joey's so blurry, but that is Bela' Fleck and Victor Wooten right behind him!
Ta-dah!!!! A picture of Joey and Victor! Joey was beaming the whole way home. Got to shake this guys hand, get his autograph, and be in a picture with him.
The signed album!
Merry Christmas!
