Random stuff
First off, I really should have went to see Three Mile Pilot when they were in Seattle last month. I was having some stomach issues which kept us home, but now I think I should have just took the risk and went to the show anyway.
Congrats to Irradio who won best rock album at the SD music awards! One of Steve's friend's is the bass player-who some of you know. Said musician is in Seattle today, and hopefully we will get to hook up with him sometime today.
Having a cold this weekend hasn't been too fun. I am getting a very late start on some spring cleaning and I wanted to work on that some this weekend. Last weekend I worked on the kitchen. I straightened out the cabinets and tried to do a really good clean on everything. I still have a couple of cabinets I need to work on, but it is basically done. Next is the living room, which isn't in too bad of shape-but there are a few things I want to get rid of. Then I need to get rid of some clothes and some other boxes of crap that I seem to lug around. I wonder if I am brave enough to just throw out some boxes that are in my closet that I never look at. If I open them, I will want to pack rat it, like I have been doing. However, if I never look at that stuff, do I really need it? I don't think I can do it though. I will have to look in them just to make sure there isn't shit in there that I want. Bah.
We didn't end up going to Jazz Alley this weekend. Dave Bruebeck was there, he is the 88 year old pianist who played with Miles Davis. We are seeing another pianist (71 years old) who played with Coltrane. I am really excited. I really love seeing jazz live. I really do like jazz when I hear it, but I don't know much about it. We also are probably going to see another band on Thursday with my sister. That will be an outside concert, but the weather has been nice up here this weekend.
I haven't mentioned how disappointed I am with America's Best Dance Crew this season. It is horrible. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last time they do this show. All the crews are bad. I am not sure if it is because they are coming off such a good season or what...There is a Seattle group in there this year and they aren't very good. Although b-boy battles are one on one type situations for the most part-not choreographed stuff like on ABDC, so I can understand why a b-boy group would not do as well with this format. I like Afroborike actually and I think they have some really good dancers-but other than that I have not been impressed. I really can't call out a winner or even the top two-there are no favorites at this point. I think the one all girl group has a chance maybe, but they are no where near as good as Beat Freaks from last year. No one who reads this journal watches this show anyway, but I felt the need to rant about it because I used to really look forward to this show. I just started watched SYTYCD and I like that, so I guess that is how I will get my dance fix in.
