berkeley tournament + ted ted
ahh! so much love has gone down in the past few days! this has definitely been the best vacation i've had. first was the berkeley speech and debate tournament -- i came home with two trophies, which was super neat. plus i got to hang out with amazing people and eat indian food (naan n' curry... oh my god, so good). that tournament is always the best ever.
i took lots of pictures but i haven't gotten them off my camera yet, i'll stick them up soon.
and then, last night i saw ted leo and the pharmacists in SF with caitlyn, victoria, jessica, larry, and spackles, which was uber awesome. the bassist and drummer (on the left and right sides in the photo) both had giant hair and big beards and were dressed like godspell rejects from the 70s. ted's hair is adorable and his voice is just wow. the set was superb -- and oh man, the great american music hall is fantastic. its decorated to look all ornate and opera-ish but it's tiny and cozy and perfect for a little rock show.
there were 3 openers: the herms, the joggers, and communique. the herms were kind of lame, the joggers were pretty good but made so many fucking obnoxious comments when they weren't playing, and communique was pretty dece (except for the fact that the lead singer's hair looked like a greaseball). of course, no one can match the awesomeness that is ted ted.
overall, it was really neat. and nowwww i'm off to a debate meeting then going to go see mates of state. woo!
