random thoughts on the last few weeks in particular order
Friends are forever.
Even though gang of four had to cancel the free show cos of the rain, debbie and I had a good time catching up over El Coyote. We ended up walking to the theatre to meet april and to see some sneak preview of Adam's Goldberg's "I like your work" it was coo, kinda confusing (for some of us anyway) well they had an afterparty where Flaming lips played, which seemed cool, but much like Coachella they waste a lot of time on stage messing around, so in about 45 minutes we saw 5-6 songs, 1 was brand new, one was a joke song with a kid's instrument, and one was a cover of bohemian rhapsody. At least they played Yohimi, but i doubt i will ever go see them again. i mean this was free but almost not worth all the waiting around. but damn it sounded good, i think they know they made a great album, and people love them, maybe their tired of the songs.
Dj'ing
Bar 107 was ok. i think i played a really good set, and the bartenders/owners seemed to like us and our music. guess we'll see what happens. regardless i will still go there, as i like the place.
Extreme fun with an extreme girl at an extreme park.
magic mountain was really fun. had some pretty good amusement park pizza. walked around, grace was scared sometimes, i wish i was easier to scare. We went in one maze, which was short but pretty fun. Finally we went on COllosus, backwards. it was reallllly cool. I like that rollercoasster anyways, but in the dark and backwards, it kinda ruled me. highly recommended if you can get over there by next week.
didnt get a funnel cake cos the line was way too long.
SHOWS:
LCD Soundsystem and Juan Maclean were really good, danced it up a bit, but we needed a better spot for LCD, kinda crowded, good for the band but bad for us. It was crazy to see my old friend, jamming away on stage with Juan Maclean.
Gang of Four dance-funk-punked rocked me. we missed the opening bands who were supposedly good, but i dont mind. both this show and coachella were great. both exciting, i was dancing more at coachella i think. legendary band, check out Entertainment, or the new one Return the Gift. they deserve all the name-checking they get.
Records=
i've picked up so many good records on vacation, all for under 50 bucks. ive got some great breaks, hip hop, funk, punk, 80's stuff. even a ton of 7"s, some of which I gave to Brad (of course i bought the same ones for myself) i think i almost made him cry, and without telling a Yermo joke.
i want to go to the swap meet on tuesday to try one more time before vacation ends.
Argentina=
only a few days before we leave. i still need hiking boots, and to read more on things to do there.
bob lent me his hiking backpack, which saves me. My brother informed me theres a good soccer game two days after we get there, cant wait, i missed my chance to go to one in germany, and although i 've been to a galaxy game and ucla game, its not as intense.
also the day after we get there we are going to the BUE festival, where were gonna see MIA, brazillian girls, morcheeba, fischerspooner, Dizee Rascal, and cut chemist. all for like 30 bucks, shit is cheap over there. it goes till like 6, so i guess we better chug a red bull.

im gonna try to work on my digital pictures from like 4 years ago.
