Ive been trying to find the words to summarize the past weekend but I couldn't encapsulate it to just a few. On Friday, after a grueling day of desk jockeying BM popped over and we went to eat dinner at Buddy's pizza (yum yum). Herr Funk met us up there and then we shot over to the Plymouth Coffee Bean Co. to catch Elle And The Fonts.
It was a good set, very intimate, very jokey...a good time. Plus, Elle's new rommate is smokin. We didn't stick around to see the 2nd band, instead we went to Doyle's to get proper-fucked. Tony and Melissa popped up and we drank pitchers from about 9-2:30. Melissa stuck me with her wine bill (bitch). Tony and I also ran into a shadow from our past named Athena who chilled with all of us for a bit as well.
The entire day Saturday was spent at my house playing video games and watching movies. Then Tony came over and we headed to the dreaded Token Lounge. 3 out of 5 acts cancelled so that was a good start. Cancelled acts:
BM was freakin out, plus the soundguy was being a cock over schedule times and everything else, so I was assigned mediator and facilitator. After everythign was calmed, Tokyo Sexwhale
took the stage and had a really good set. I spent most of the time they were playing in the green room drinking high life with bendido and athena. Then I had to put on my makeup and it was time for our set. We played very good set and had our shole ligh show set up. Sexwhale joined us for our 2 closers. After everything was said and done, the a-hole soundguy said hey everyone go ahead and play for another hour....so it turned into a giant conglomeration freakout jamsession. After the music was done i promptly went to the bathroom and scrubbed the makeup off my face and then headed to the bar to get another high life when i ran into nadia. her and i then had 2-3 shots of whiskey which led to awesomeness. then tony, bm, and i drove drunk to zak's for some awesome fries to cap of the night.
On Sunday, we laid around my house all day and watched shitty movies (hellride, wizard of gore), its always sunny in philadelphia, and played video games till about 10pm.
Futures:
We were supposed to play this Sunday with Fashion
at the belmont, but they cancelled, so we cancelled also cuz the out of town band looked and sounded like shit. So why go there and play for noone except a shitty out of town band. We may play a show with Fashion in november at the painted lady......dependant on our schedules. At the very end of October, we will have our Halloween Spectacular at Corktown Tavern. Here's the flier:
We are also planning a DVD shoot with Sexwhale, which will consist of us holeing up with them for a few weekends and throwing parties, recording, and other hijinks.
Crap:
I woke up at about 4AM this morning with insomnia. I listened to the following all the way through:
Deerhunter-Microcastles
Deerhunter-Flourescent Grey EP
Deerhunter-Weird Era Cont
Each Disc is great and can be downloaded for free via different Bittorrent sites. I am slowly getting obsessed with this band and the rest of the bradford cox addendum.
Today, since it's been rainy as shit, ive been listening to the Interpol discography. I think I may have to change it up soon.........
