The Dirties… Wowza!

The Dirties threw a pop-up rock concert last night at Bonito Kitchen. Wowza! Bonito Kitchen, the covered part, is tiny and was full of very happy people who ate, drank and didn’t bother with conversation because who goes to a rock concert to talk? It was perfectly loud, with lead singer Diego Guerrero in fine form; he nailed a particularly difficult Deep Purple tune, Child in Time.

Mike and Tricia Lyman and Nikki were there enjoying the hard, sometimes heavy metal rock. Francie and Alison Lo were working, of course, but Alison took a few minutes off to sing one song. Dear Sandra Bradley and I shared a peach, walnut, goat cheese pizza that was divine.

Two-plus hours later, the set was done. Diego kindly dedicated the last song to me – Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. The musicians were incredible and did not stop all night.

Diego told us of his upcoming show at Casa Karma in early September and he will be participating in the August 29th bash at La Catrina Cantina and Mary Ann’s Ovations Piano Bar at Act2PV. More on both those shows this week.

It’s Tuesday morning, early, and it isn’t raining, so I am off to the tianguis in Coapinole. See what I can scare up.

Remember, the Alberto Ponce/David Maiocco concert at Casa Karma has been canceled for tonight.

Have a terrific day in our gorgeous city. Keep an eye on where your feet are going, and say hello to everyone you pass and smile.
