When BLISS is over early next year, A Beautiful Mess will be ready to keep me busy--on Sunday we had an opening act and only played 1 set.
Steve and I have worked together with The Hollering, Simmons Allison Group, The BeWires, The Hitmen, BLISS, Loud Nine, and a few more acts over the past 20-odd years. We both consider ourselves lucky to have found a partner in music that is at the top of their respective job in South Texas, and we're also great friends.
Basically, he joins bands and when their soundman proves to be a tool I get the call and stay until the band breaks up years later.
John is from Kerrville, and is perfect for the new band's country/rock sound and look. 
Valentino knows a billion songs and is quite a character. Put a nice shirt on this guy and we have a star.
The opening act was an all-woman band whose name escapes me, but they were alright. The crowd at PediCab loved them. Our set ignited more dancing, since it was now dark and our music was less serious and the beat was far more infectious.
Rikk is in charge, and it's been a real pleasure to work with him over the last few years. We have that mind-reading thing going, so the work gets done with minimal aggravation and always to our shared professional standards. 
I worked with Stephanie for over a year and it was great to hear her sing again. It's about time she found a band that's going to be able to bring her talents to a wider audience.
I suggested "Gravel Avenue" as a name for the new band, but it didn't make the final cut.
I'm going on record right now as claiming that name for future projects.
Halloween preparations are proceeding nicely.
I have work to do tonight on one of the scenes, and have started buying candy.
So far I have Snickers, Starburst, and Skittles, but the bowl must have a hole in the bottom because it doesn't look as full as it did a few days ago.
