Nancy Silva Project
With an entire day of different acts at The 311 Club, the next band that was on stage after Poc Nation was NANCY SILVA PROJECT.
I kept seeing the name but didn’t know what or who to expect.
As I researched the band over the Internet, my curiosity was well-piqued.
Knowing that the set would be finished in plenty of time for me to get home at a decent hour, and that the bands were finishing pretty close to on time, I stuck around for this band.
Much like the rest of them, NSP was there before they were to be on stage. I kept staring at her… wondering if that was in fact the Nancy Silva that I kept reading about and hearing on the Internet.
Finally I just went over and talked to her. Duh!! Sometimes simple is best.
It was a pleasant conversation. I think she was kind of surprised to hear the words that were coming out of my mouth. But she was happy to hear that in a short amount of time that I had come to like her music.
Yay me!!! This would come out to work to my advantage in spades almost.
I would talk and talk and talk with her until there was nothing more to talk about, and even while other bands before Poc Nation were playing, being in close quarters with her was kinda cool. She had barely met me and when we parted ways so that she could go prepare, I got a hug. How freakin’ cool is that?!?!???
So I picked up her CD and a t-shirt. I was a merchandise buying mofo… I tell you what!!
Now you KNOW I am not going to pass THIS up!!
Then NSP would hit the stage after Poc Nation and I pretty much did not wander far from the stage and I kept to myself in my spot through both sets. Only to find out how rockin’ NSP really was when playing live!!
I found myself just going with the flow of it all. People around me dancing like fools. Others drunk as hell trying to get into it and keep their balance at the same time. I guess you could say that a good time was had by all.
I enjoyed it at least.
I was most impressed with a song called “Yesterday” I just really got into it.
For my first time out for NSP, I cannot complain.
She will be performing on the BIG stage this evening. I believe it is the same stage that BEAUTIFUL DISTURBANCE will be playing on this afternoon.
I plan on going for both bands. I just will have a few hours in between and probably back and forth for both shows.
And to think, NSP was playing at the Dirty Dog Bar really late Sunday night and I didn’t go. All of those possibilities lost!
Oh well. I’ve made an impact it seems with Nancy Silva. And of course she’s just so darn pretty. Or so I say!
I don’t know how all of this is going to play out today because the weather took a turn and now there’s so much wind that I feel like I am back in southwestern Kansas again.
Nothing I am not used to, just not used to it happening HERE.
I’ll follow NSP for as long as I can. They are a band from San Antonio, but I don’t drive. So, we’ll see what happens.
I was happy that I stuck around for NSP. It was a great decision as it was entertaining.
Then when after the show, I bought two more t-shirts and got a bit of a break on the prices. Thank you, Nancy!!
After that, she was gone. I thought that I would get a few more photographs with her and probably a few more hugs as she was very open to that. But she vanished. Poc Nation and her entourage was gone as well from the club. And it was getting late, so I busted out of there and took off for the designated bus stop to return home.
Only to arrive at that corner to see the exact bus that I needed to get home was right there parked.
The ramp to get on to the bus was in a weird place and I was in need of assistance, so I called aloud “Can someone please help me??” and I was surprised and both disgusted that NOBODY did a thing. Nobody moved. Finally someone jumped up and pushed me onto the ramp from the weird angle that I was in and I boarded the bus and got home by midnight.
What is wrong with people??
So now I wait around now for me to leave to go back to see BEAUTIFUL DISTURBANCE. I just kinda wished it was NOW. But patience must be had.
Expect more posts about all of these experiences soon!!
