Tractatus The Trucker (Who Smokes Meth And Makes Crop Circles)
Metric was totally awesome. They played four songs at Amoeba's. The singer Emily isn't in-your-face superhot, but when she opens her voice you realize that she's:
A) Intelligent.
B) Quirky.
C) Sensual/Gentle.
And thus she is superhot.
After they were done at Amoeba's we (Tika, Jacob, and Thea? I hope I'm spelling her name right) headed over to Goodwill on Haight. I got two blazers because I'm badass. Tika picked out my green one for me.
We almost didn't go to the show at Great American, but I realized that I can't be buying tickets to shows if I'm not going to go to them. In the end it was awesome cool. Irony: Tika and I noticed not a lot of "scene" kids there, but how if there were, we'd be irked, heh. Plus Metric seems to be one of those bands that all asian girls decide they're going to like in their secret meetings (ex. Weezer). Not that that's a bad thing, just sayin'...
Emily didn't wear a skirt at Amoeba's, but totally rocked it at Great American. And yeah, she was wearing matching black underwear. Not that I was looking for it, but she was doing so many kicks by the fourth one she kicked toward the audience and the goodies were shown. Taking into account A, B, and C, she knew what she was doing and she didn't care-- she's so awesome.
Tika and I were waiting for them to play "Dead Disco", which they played as their last song (before their encore)... It was awesome, but they ended up making it an extremely long song with like, her talking during the bridge, building up with a chant (something like, "I'm gonna' jump. Are you gonna' catch me?") and then jumping into the crowd... And they played the first two verses or two at a faster beat, which sucked.
ticket: $13
gas: $10
thrift store clothes: $15
bagel w/ jam and butter: $1.75
coffee: $1.25
parking: $2.50
muni fare/transfer: $1.25
*metric poster: $10
total: $54.75
not bad for a trip to the city, hanging out with awesome friends, getting new clothes, and seeing Metric... twice.
*Metric didn't have any pins or stickers, which were the only things I wanted. They had this badass poster, but the merch. guy told me it was $20. Having only one twenty-dollar-bill in my pocket, I asked him how much the other ones were-- he said $10. So I bought this awesome red and yellow Metric poster in which the guy told me that they were gonna be doing signing after the show. I totally thought to myself, "Fuck that," not only am I going to fuck it up somehow by putting staples through it or something, but I'm just not an autograph person-- especially for a band that just barely launched their skyrocket into fame.
