(no subject)
so as i sit and breathe and ruin my posture and meditate on Against Me!, i recall a night long ago, aproximately a year ago. a year ago mara and i still had david our groove and funk, extraterrestrial BROTHER. Every friday night was our david night with art on the side. This friday night, however, was the night of Exodus Over at the Jungle. We tried so hard, and we missed it. i was so upset i almost cried. sooooo unhelpful were donny and martin, filling us in on the 'best concert ever!' 'amazing, it was fucking so good' as we sat and ate our pizza. you can guess where, come on, the Jungle, where else would we eat pizza ? Feeling lousy and dissapointed was I. OH so random, styvie was there. I told him i used to think his name was sylvester or something allong those lines. styvester. whatever.
and i get so confused but maybe this was also the night yes it was tom in the pink and black checkered shoes- my means of recognition- proposed to me (and 13 other people, gender was not an issue). Evan did his dance* and on either side of him BOTH mike and ben tried to immitate. hillarious, really.
BUT
the point.
bands- oh how how how am i blanking on this. think. one or two words. and. and. and another one. it had a J in it? je ne sais pas. hot singer for sure. a possible dick.
It was just such a community night. I think this was the first concert I'd been to that was so great. It was all the 'good bands'. I remembered One or Two Words from a GM concert in foster city, it was crazy. that venue never gets any real crowd, only a gaggle of people for each band who kinda leave after. But One or Two Words had brought their hadcore blood brother friends and everyone sang, about 5 or 6 people screaming the lyrics into one mic. IMPOSSIBLE to tell who was in the band and who wasnt. The drummer (Ilya, am i a creep for knowing his name? and still remembering?) had a fro and was kinda tiny but so cool. and also played some other instrument and took off his shirt and afterwards the One or Two Words family (what else could one call them?) got deodorant and were putting it all over his uper half. One kid hand a blonde mohawk not spiked and tight pants and Am shoes, that means the shoes Am wore at that time, those hugeass van type things that bring to mind Jeremy from Zits. OKAY BACK TO THE NIGHT IM DISCUSSING. Exodus Over night, love night. Good music night. Everyone was there at some point. Me Mara Ben n Colin had just started hanging outside of PE (hahaha. PE. shooot). So this is it, the moment that i was initially reflecting on, the 'Sink, Florida, Sink' time frame in my mind. I had never heard that song. I had not yet heard Against Me!. This band started playing it, and it was so good. Ilya, drummer fro wee kid (wee but older than me by years) and a chum both were on stage singing into the mike with the singer of the band, i remember how they all leaned in. And the whole audience was singing too. And i sang, though i'd never heard the song. Im listening to it right now
Not one more word tonight,
between here and there
We'll put a distance the size of the ocean
so now this heart can beat a skipping rhythm
As the cadence carries me
I almost drift away
far enough to forget
but when it comes you cannot hesitate
and when found i will write
an account and seal it in an envelope
addressed to your last known residence
my remaining thoughts on the night that found no place in my monologue: sarcastic 8 ball long dreded hair girls tom hugs mia mormon mike ben being remembered for something he didnt do or was that a different night blond am shoes kid selling us cds and you know what?
i think i'm done :)
