Sitting waiting for Tamika’s show with The 83 South Project (her band).
Today was a bit hectic, I was dog tired from last night, and Arion & Nya never sleep in. 🙂
Tamika’s Mom came down for the weekend, and so Tamika went to pick her up from the Greyhound.
Her mom made us breakfast and we headed down to DC.
Bourbon Coffee was having a family and friends get together, and invited us down. It was good to see everything together, and though there are still things to be done, the shop looks good. My friend Setti Solomon, who is handling the project management for Bourbon, Saleem Khaja (who handles legal matters and budget) and I got to talk and work out the next phases. They’re now opening up a shop in Boston too, and I’m really hoping I’ll be able to have Zerflin work on that too. There have been some mix ups on design approval that we’ve been ironing out, but I really enjoy working with them.
Setti had on a very pretty black dress, which inspired Tamika to try and find something at Macy’s for her show tonight.
Traffic was pretty bad on the way home (when is it not in DC) which made us pretty late for her show. Tamika’s mom made us spaghetti to go, and we rushed off.
Club Reality is a small, unassuming place, and it’s only about 10 minutes from our house. From the outside, it looks pretty run down, but I was impressed with how nice and spacious it was on the inside.
Our friend Twi Jackson has now joined the band, and I have to say, this was one of their best shows. Twi sang “what you would do for love” and blew it away. Tamika sang Marvin Gaye’s “I want you” and blew it away. She’s been working hard on her stage presence, and she really entertained the crowd.
Afterwards, we went out to see Harry Potter. Good movie. Tamika knows the storyline better than I, but I enjoyed myself.
2am? Time for an early bedtime…
