Man, dont know if I have time for this. Got home from work. Bought art supplies and an oil lamp with Rose, worked on building my pedal board, bathed, read a little bit of “Death in the Family” and now its already 11:40. I dont even have time to play guitar or think of writing a decent bit of entertainment. Saw Shitty Carwash, Yayo, Baby Dick, and Full Stride last night. Emos kind of made me nervous with all the hipsters and downtown people. Hadnt been there since I saw Spoon outside when I first moved to town. A few Highlife’s took the edge off though. The first band was a two piece playing their second show. They were somehow too loud and the vocals where bad. The highlight was in between songs they miked up a boom-box playing boom boom mariachi music. The second band was a really good young hard rock band named after the Mexican slang for coke. I guess the lead singer was about seventeen and really small, but extremely talented. The drummer was also exceptional. One of the better bands Ive seen in a while. Baby Dick had a fog machine and an over weight bald middle aged lead singer, singing in a talking highly reverb voice. He also had about 4 shiner bocs in his hand and a cigarette and cigar. Full Stride sound really good last night. Danny G from the Mother Truckers, and the bass player from the White Ghost Shivers were there. Danny had pictures and a name for the dog that he got from Amber on New Years Eve. She stopped in the middle of the road to pick up the young Chihuahua after the car in front of her threw it out of his moving vehicle on South First Street. But I digress and I am tired.
