Ruthie Foster

Ruthie Foster played at Downtown Brew in SLO, so a few of us went to see her. Unfortunately, it was a 21+, and most of our college based scene couldn't go, but for those that could, it was amazing. She's got such a stage presence and her voice was incredibly powerful. It was a little weird to see an artist I DJ regularly and whose music I am so familiar with live. There were only five of us dancing, and we were definitely a generation younger than anyone else in the place, but we made it count.

I didn't really like my set today. I had too much on my mind, so I was distracted and not really watching the dance floor. It got better towards the end of the set, but took me way too long to find my groove.
