Last night was fun, after being unsure of what I was walking into and the music I would be hearing for the evening it ended up being a really great time. I went to Nikkis before the show and finished getting ready, rummaged through cds and posters (if things were syranwrapped christmas would be done). I picked out some things I have never heard of and decided to give them a try....hows that for growth.
We ended up in Deep Ellum early and were going to go park in a lot and then I spotted a meter...we were all ha ha bitches, then the meter didnt work that was the ha ha bitches back to us, so our egos demolished we pull down the alley adn alas a nother meter before we celebrated with another round of ha ha bitches I put money into make sure it worked. We went to counter culture and to see if we could find anything not over 20 dollars no luck. I did find a mechanics shirt with steve on it and one with john. I thought of sara and was sad. We went to franzinis at pizza and talked alot. About everything, shes picked up using bitches and she has given me sprinkled with crack. when they follow eachother it sounds like something off the chappelle show.
The redwalls were intresting they did a dylan cover and then they did route 66 back to back. they had a keyboard player with them that was intresting but didnt fit the sound. By then end of it after being perplexed as to wether or not they were british or faking it, and that there influneces were so all over the map that it was more fun to pick up what they were. Nikkis descripition of brit pop is wrong. So I will hand the cd over to holly and see what she makes of it. we also saw the diamondites and they were your typical new york city esque band. Nothing overly impressive.
We went upstairs to meet them and tell them good night and that we enjoyed the show...etc...etc. Nikki instead of saying good bye and us going tells them we are off to see the shout out louds. Now they want to go but they dont want to pay. So Nikki is now there host, we walk down to go make the arrangements and shes asking me what do i do. So I bullshit a speech on the way down to gypsy to see if we can make this happen. she wanted me to do the speech but i dont have a business card yet so i couldnt. She had to step up to the plate. She did beautifully, I was so proud. Anyway so we go back down to trees and the walls are finishing their drinks. It was fine, we waited an then waited for them to get through the crowd. SO we are walking down the street and the bass player is being sternly talked to by there manager for pulling a gun on a nother band member to get said band member money. I was walking with nikki and i just wanted to laugh so hard but i didnt until we got into the car. it was greatness.
The Shout Out Louds were very good. Not very entertaining in person I like front men who have something more than just standing there. The drummer for the walls was talking to me and said they had just down a tour with SOL and that he didnt understand why they broke before they did. That it must have to do with the fact they were swedish. He was very nice, just a little self depricating and depressed. So Nikki and I stayed and met the SOL one of the band members Carl stood there talking to us and smoking a joint. I thought Nikki was goign to die.I just kinda ignored it and concentrated on what he was saying because a guy with a swedish accent is hard enough to understand.
So we left after saying our good byes being invited to after parties, which we politely turned down. Im SO tired but alas this is the life I have chose. That at night and this during the day. The two sides of until you make it. Really I have to get back into shape just so I can hang and my feet dont hurt.
