(no subject)
Last night I played at the Smell with Valet, Silentist, Bobby from the Ride and Neil Patrick HxC. I played pretty awful, but everyone else was so rad, esp. Silentist. My friend Alex turned to me afterwards and said "isn't it a bummer that there are 18 people here to witness history?" The way he said it showed he really meant it. I agree with him. It's not surprising though, what they're doing is the ultimate outsider music. Brent thinks that everyone will catch on and they'll get super popular either right before or right after they're over. Stupid fucking world. Neil Patrick were good, but Vince's kick pedal was fucked so the dual drum thing was a little off.
It's funny, similar to the "getting big right before breaking up" thing I was just talking about, people still totally remember and get stoked on Friends in The Mountains. I was talking to a friend before Vince and Cesar's set last night about the last couple FiTM shows and this kid sort of eavesdropping on us put the pieces together and went "Wait, the drummer from Friends is in Neil Patrick Hardcore? Oh, man, fuck yeah!" and he immediately went inside and stood up front. He might not've really expected what happened next, but I think he was pleased all in all.
That was a rad show. Aaron Frankel tried to cause a scene, I did my best not to let him. He was already pissed at me and tried to make me go outside and argue with him while Silentist were playing(I must note that I have been waiting to see Silentist for almost 2 years at this point and they're in the middle of their second song of the night). I told him no and then tried to ignore him as he prodded me. He put his hand around my throat and then acted like he was going to hit me with his cane. He didn't and eventually went away to fuck with something else. The only reason I even bring this up is that after the show was over I was talking to the guys from Silentist and August, the new vocalist, told me he saw that going on and was going to knock Frankel's teeth down his throat if he'd hit me with the cane, he had my back and I had never met him before in my life. Moreover, I don't know if you've seen August, in photographs it doesn't really translate, but, to paraphrase Eddie Murphy, he doesn't look like he can't fight... ...he looks like he could whup some ass.
After the show and a whole debacle of retrieving a semi-stolen car, Brent dropped me at Kate Hall's house, where I am now, and Brittney, Kate, all the Ride boys and I drank 493573841252837234903457 shots of jagermeister and 3597833934846054783459230 cocktails and Kate has thrown up, i've been counting the ones I witness, at least 8 times today.
What a life!
