Last night, Brad, Alex, Audrey and I got to see Cake at a tiny little venue in SF, Café du Nord. Although, I did not realize my fantasy of joining John McCrea on stage and performing "Never There" as a duet and making a lifelong friend, I did pass our CD onto a sound engineer type who was very nice and assured me he'd pass it on to John. Hope he likes our cover of his tune! John McCrea was a quirky guy. He seems to have a love-hate relationship with his audience. While fervently hating us, he also seems to crave our approval. Poor guy is conflicted (although I must say the asshole to cool person ratio was dismal in the club). Maybe he should call me and we can talk it over...
