I somehow forgot to mention that Brian is playing with Wally Pleasant Friday night (that’s tonight) at Fountain Square in East Lansing. Concert is at 7:30. These guys really work well together on stage.

Brian has been backing up Wally for occasional gigs and tours for years now, but this time all the press included Brian’s name on the billing. That was Wally’s doing, and very sweet of him. So in the papers it says Wally Pleasant and Brian Hefferan are performing tonight. Brian’s not like me, he doesn’t need to be on stage like I do… but he’s a fine musician and I think it’s cool he’s getting some recognition. It’s still Wally’s gig, Wally’s songs, Wally’s playlist/schedule. But they really do make a fine energy on stage together, an energy a bit bigger than two people might normally project. Here’s a picture of the two of them performing last May at the East Lansing Art Fair.

Also tonight, two of the Habibi dancers are dancing at New Aladdin’s restaurant in Frandor. Lorice and Amira are scheduled tonight. Shows at 6:30 and 8pm. Maybe I can catch the first show and then pop over to Fountain Square. That could be quite the luxurious evening, couldn’t it?

Tomorrow, Saturday, is Spinners Flock guild in Chelsea. It looks like maybe I’ll be going to that with Tony. Then starting at 4pm there is a Knitters’ Night Out at Yarn for Ewe. I’m going to the very beginning of that. And then I’ll be going to my fiber friend Marlene Cameron’s 50th birthday party. She’s so important to my life these days (she taught me how to dye with commercial dyes, for one thing). I definitely want to celebrate her.
