Cleveland, OH - Sept 10

House of Blues Cleveland, Cleveland, OH

7:30 PM

I'm going, I was beginning to think hell was going to have to freeze over before another show this year.

BEST BAND EVER!!!! Well, I say that every time...okay...best show ever and this time, I really mean it! First start with 5 good friends who traveled far and wide to get there...then create giddiness and anticipation...a lovely meal and then wait in a the back alley in the un-air-conditioned outside (right I know) until we convinced the powers that be to leave the door open. It was miserable out there...then we get inside...down on the horn side. Tonight they seemed to be really having a good time; Cass' smiles were huge when he slammed on those drums during the drum solo on Ra Ra Ra and the solo on Peccadillow seemed to go on forever! I now realize that they have created a long, prolonged auditory orgasm (at least that is what I told Eddie)...there seemed to be a few near misses (crashes) during Single Double Triple, there were 2 flutes beat boxing (omg) and Midnight introduced a new hat (a Mad Hatter Hat as a matter of fact). Honestly this was one of those shows that if you focused on one part of the stage you missed what was happening on the other side!

Will Pharaoh and Mummy Yo were there tonight and Pole held down the bass.

I will let other people comment on the set list and other aspects. I was so filled with joy...

Hhhmmmm, I have a Mad Hatter hat that I wore for Halloween a few years ago. I could get that signed by the boys............

Well i had a blast, first off glad to see srtabe, eee, becknakid at the show along with my friends Stephanie and andra. Cass was splendid and looked to be having so much fun. Finally met Jimmie the kid (haven't met him yet, yeah I know) he asked me if it was my first show I chuckled and said no more like 60th. Did get closer to Eddie at the meet and greet but because of the crowd couldn't get too close and once it was thinned out enough he got down off the table grabbed a bag of brownie cookies and walked by me holding them like a foot ball then after he passed me, held them above his head like the monkey did simba in lion king. I really had a good time, please don't shoot me for saying this but I like mummy yo more than the flu, he just seems to have more umph.

Joy is definitely the word!

Feeling like bullet pointing everything since I am exhausted and know my grammar will suck.  If I bullet point it, it might be easier to control.

***Dinner at the venue was delicious.  And service was terrific.  Our man Justin took great care of us, even when he wasn't, he really was . . .

***Downside was waiting outside in the garbage alley way:  hot, sticky, and stinky. Upside was casually chatting, sharing stories, and laughing with each other, plus meeting new people.

***Horny side.  Lotsa LOVE.  

***Great energy.  Can't remember set list but again, the usual suspects plus their new ones . . . .LOVE.

***I really enjoy watching the inter-play as they grow and get used to their slightly different roles

***Make It Shake and all the awesomeness of the spotlight on each incredible Mummy

***Watching Cass get more and more comfortable and delightful with playing with the audience.

***Midnight and absolutely EVERYTHING he brings to show. . . . WOW!

***Eddie and all that he is.

***Will, Eddie and Cass and the drums for Ra Ra Ra .  .  . Smiles and feels.

***Spaz being the most Spazzy I have ever seen . . . OMG . . . . hysterical!

***The Pole.  Seeing me, pointing and smiling.  Didn't come out for the meet and greet though.  Slightly sad.

***Dancing with Becky and dancing with Steph Zornes.  And of course hanging with my girls, T and B. . . missed Judith.

***Seeing IMJ . . . . she looks amazing. The last time I saw her was in 2012 and I could feel how much pain she was in . . . last night, she looked fabulous, easily stood up and hugged me and definitely exuded a joyful and happy energy. Great to see her again!

***Meet and Greet . . . . Eddie.  Mummy Yo.  Will Pharaoh.  Spaz.  Midnight. Mummy Rah.  Got to them all. Eddie, Rah, and Midnight recognizing me and hugging me like a friend.  Made my night. Will gives delicious and long hugs.  Mummy Yo's are also delicious and STRONG . . . good squeezes . . . actually reminded me of Vic's hugs.  

Super night. . . so glad I was able to go.  I have three more this year and then I am done . . . Annapolis times 2 and my "hometown" NYC. . . . chatted with Jimmie, long enough to remind him of our standing NYC Patron tradition. . . he said he will be there!

IMJ, so glad you were able to go to this show and meet up with old friends!  Looking forward to seeing you in October!

Thanks eee, means the world to me that others can see what I feel especially now.
Looking forward to it mishy, I have 5 shows in october I think I'll be seeing you at at least 2 of them, ft wayne and Elkhart, am I right?

Yes, Ft Wayne and Elkhart are my next shows, and probably my last for the year.

Cool beans see you there (is phunky coming also)

Yep.  
For Ft Wayne we'll have Andy/Dean, Phunky, Srta, TDW, and Mr TDW in tow.

For Elkhart, we'll be with Srta and Phunky.

And Mr Mish too, of course.

Ft Wayne sounds like a party, well it is my birthday party day 3

We'll get Eddie to sign yer bo-..cleavage in Ft Wayne.

Wait.

Dean is coming to Ft Wayne?? Mish, you didn't tell me that before.
You know what happens when he and I attend the same show. It usually turns physical.


And we didn't think y'all were comfortable with that man love stuff...

;-)

I thought for sure I told you that. . . .   but maybe I was hoping to avoid that scene when you two see each other.

;-)

I may just have to stand between the two of you to keep the manlove to a minimum. . . . . .

At an HCTM show???

Ppphhhfffftt. Impossible.

;-)

I may just stand between the two of you anyway.

;-)

Perv.
