We all dress in black, but some of us are staring at the stars.

Can't wait to come out with you soon!

Does that mean you are cancelling Germany for Feeling Gloomy!?! ;-)

[sor_eye_ah]

Um... Can I give you an answer on Monday? :D

Maybe just to see yourself young and handsome again? Or maybe because you can't help it. Have you read The Time Traveler's Wife? I really loved it.

I second the recommendation and would also like to name check Lethem's book: As She Climbed Across the Table.

Will also add this to my wish list. Is it a good summer read? ;-)

[idioticpoet]

I'd call it a good read, regardless of the season in which it's read.

woah, that's deep, man! :)

what is Feeling Gloomy? i don't know a lot of those songs, but the cure, depeche mode and communards tracks rule!

Feeling Gloomy is an indie club that plays mostly stuff from the 80s and 90s. They try to play only songs that have "sad" lyrics - so even something like "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor would qualify. And of course The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Communards.

It's actually a good place to just get drunk on cheap beer and sing along to popular tunes.

[idioticpoet]

and they do that every day of the week, or is that theme just on one specific night?

[commonpeople]

Every Saturday, as far as I know. There are also bands (mostly indie) playing until 11 pm, which is when the club starts.
