I met Dweezil Zappa Friday night! How was your weekend

I volunteer for a local concert venue here in Wilmington and our concert on Friday night was Zappa plays Zappa. It was a tribute concert for the 40th Anniversary of the release of Apostrophe (') and Roxy & Elsewhere. It was a really great show too. Dweezil has some skills.

Afterwards there was a meet and greet and as a volunteer I was asked if I would maintain the front of the line to ensure all the people stopping by for the Meet & Greet didn't overcrowd the performers. Even with my bad knees I wasn't going to say no to that. The younger Zappa and his bandmates did a great job greeting all the guests, signing autographs and posing for pictures. After he was done then he did the same for us who worked the line.

What a great volunteer job!

Well, not nearly as interesting as yours. I got my taxes done and did 3 loads of laundry.

I do that every year, too. Maybe if I find them again, I can finally have my utopian 30-hour day wish come true!

I saw Zappa in 1982 on the "You Are What You Is" Tour.

Amazing musical experience. Frank conducted the whole thing with a baton, like an orchestra, because it was so complex.

I saw a funny show once called "Happy Hour" hosted by Ahmet and Dweezil. At the end everybody sang along to an old sixties rock song.
