We recently had our Third Wheel business meeting, and this time chose Urth Caffe downtown as the location. No matter how much time I spend downtown, I am constantly amazed at the number of different undiscovered neighborhoods over there. This charming cafe was no different. On the way there, Karin was sort of giving me the “where are you taking me” look, but once we arrived and saw these amazingly beautiful lattes being served, all concern disappeared.

Our business meetings give us a great opportunity to explore downtown, so feel free to add your suggestions here for future dining venues.
One of the biggest topics we covered at the meeting was the upcoming event, Wine & Wheels. We are so excited! Things are really starting to come together with the music, and we know our friend Wally over at Fancifull is going to select some amazing wines for you to sample. All of our publicity is getting its final touches, and we are preparing to plaster our faces all over town. Help us get the word out! Buy your tickets now!

In other fun event preparation, Karin and I went to the Huntington Library in Pasadena the other day to meet with the delightful staff there. We are performing for a private event, so we wanted to get the lay of the land and understand the venue where we would be playing. After our meeting, we had to get some food, of course! We ended up over at Burger Continental and oh my goodness, it was amazing. I think the lingering garlic scared everyone away for the rest of the day, but it was definitely worth it. Delicious.
There’s just something about musicians and food, I don’t know what it is. Many gigs that I play have food involved — we go out after the gig to eat, we have a break between gigs and we go out to eat, etc. Just ask Karin and Rich — my definition of a good Third Wheel gig is one where we get fed. It’s a little sad, I know, but one cannot live on Bach alone.
