and i heard Danzig play his last song.
After day two was over i walked down to the mohawk and saw "Free Moral Agents." This band has Ikey in it. the keyboardist for the mars volta. They were really good and they have a great female vocalist. Once they were done people started moving out of the small little room. I of course moved up. I briefly talked to Ikey as he was packing up his keyboard. He said that the show TMV played in san antonio recently was one of his favorite shows. He also said that he hopes they tour in Texas soon again, but that he has no control. "I wish i did the booking. I only play the keys though."
Then "Zechs Marquise" started to set up. This band has Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, from TMV. And it has Marfred Rodriguez-Lopez on bass. (The brother of marcel and omar who plays guitar for TMV.) Very musical family. Very Cool. Marcos the guitarist has a wide array of pedals for his guitar. I was standing right in front of him and i helped him plug them all in. We talked a little. I had mentioned that i had seen them play a few months ago in SA. He thanked me for coming out to both the shows and for helping him set up. So then they played. Holy Fuck. So amazing. Best show of the weekend for me. After their hour and a half set i said adios to marcos and marcel and then walked back to russells apartment. Thanks again for always letting me crash, rus. My feet and ears were dead. But i had the best sleep of my life. haha
So we can conclude that I love live music.
Looking forward to next weekend for the twins birthday party. This is stupid, but I have dubbed it in my head, "you've got the Wong birthday party!"
"A still more glorious dawn awaits. Not a sun rise, but a galaxy rise."
look up Carl Sagan. Pretty good stuff.
