**GEORGE DUKE**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okokokokokokokok this is what happened: 2day at lunch i was reading the "to do" column in the paper and it was all TONIGHT- George Duke and i was all: WTF?!? i had **NO** idea george duke was comming, but really i wasnt even planning on going cause i was just going to get home after work, call my family, call it a nite, etc.....but anyways i get some dinner after work w/ my buddy from work, and the bus is all fucked up, it was rerouted for no apparent reason and TWO of the times, the bus didnt show....so i was all fuck it, and called home on his cell real quick then we went took a long walk to McCaw Hall where the show was-- got there in time for the last 10 or so min. of george dukes set. But hell, it was the funkiest 10 min. i had all week, so im not complaining. i am very very touchy about rent-outs of that theater, beacuse essentially its the ballet's theatre, and very few musical recording artists have the right to stand on the same stage, but george duke is definetly an exception. anyways so after the show (there was some more mordern rNb guy closing the show) we were walkin outside and i walk past the lobby and there he is, posing for a photo-op by some big cardboard cutout logo thing for the event....so i went back in and i told him how "ive been listening to him since the World-Pacific days!" and he was all: you dont look that old....and i was all: no, but im from so cal so im all about the west coast jazz! lol it was SOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!! i met GEORGE DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
