DEAR OKLAHOMA CITY...
We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience caused by tonight's performance cancellation (Sat, 4/14). Canceling a show is not at all a usual practice for Neko and the band. Unfortunately, it was the only option given the technical difficulties that could not be overcome. We're going to reschedule another date in OKC as soon as possible. THANK YOU to all of the kind and understanding people waiting outside - we are sorry, but we will see you SOON. XOXO
Goddammit.
I got all prettied up and drove to OKC, looked and looked for parking, had to walk five blocks only to find that the show had been canceled. So I walked around the Bricktown area to see if anything caught my ear. Nothing did. I hoofed it back to the car and drove across town to check out a couple of my old haunts. Nothing good there, either. I drove back across town to an old buddy's house, rang the doorbell to surprise him, but he'd just gone to bed (at 10.00 on a Saturday night). So I stopped at a car wash and gave the car a good scrubbing (it was last washed about six months ago, turns out it's white!), bought a quart of 3.2% Budweiser (blech) and brought it home, where I'm now going to drink the aforementioned beer.
Oh well, I guess I'll buy gaskets for my motorcycle instead.
