Minnie Driver Packs'em In At Hotel Cafe in Hollywood

I think she was looking at me.

Just got back from Ms. Driver's thoroughly enjoying show at Hotel Cafe (see my June 13 post - Women Celebs I Love #1). Wonderful, wonderful singer, Minnie is. That raspy, Brit voice did her well as she soulfully glided through her set of original songs - many of them from her new CD, Seastories (which I'm buying). It was the 2nd show of her tour - she'll be in Santa Barbara tomorrow evening, then on to Oregon, Washington State, New York, among other venues. Unbeknowst to most, she's been singing since she was a child. With well-thought lyrics that we can all relate to, I definately want to see her again. And she plays the gui-tar, too.

There are a few tables up front but unless you arrive early for dinner, you have to stand. This is why I don't go to venues like Hotel Cafe. Nothing wrong with Hotel Cafe - it's intimate enough (maybe 200 people), but I parked my ass (feet) right where all the idiots with restless leg syndrome walk back and forth to go to the bar and out for a smoke. Irritating.

Don't forget to catch this London Critics Circle Film award winner and Oscar and Emmy nominated actress on the 2nd season of F/X's The Riches this fall.

Did I mention that I think she saw me? Yeh - I think she did.
