On my way to the Plain White T's1 show I stopped by Diedrichs with the lingering hope that I still might find some clue as to what happened to the former "Diedrichs Crew." As it turns out, I did luck out this time and found Krispy and Abby there.

( Where Are They Now? The (former) Diedrichs Crew )

   Today was the Shins show. It was excellent. The other two bands that played, Bishop Allen and the Decembrists.
   I knew the term "Decembrists" was a reference to a historical Russian dissidant group, but nothing prepared me for the playing of the Soviet Anthem in full before they took the stage. I nearly swooned ( Read more... )

   So I got there at 9am, earlier than I've been on campus for months, to help with load in. Not knowing what plugs into what and where things go makes helping difficult, but I did my best and plugged in some monitors.. then we put up barricades.. then I had to go tour a winery at 10:30 ( Read more... )

   I cannot actually think of anything noteworthy to report since getting back from San Diego. It has been mad hot here, and I went to class yesterday for the first time in a week. Otherwise I've just been doing a lot of reading trying to catch up with everything.

Tomorrow I'll be on campus allll day - arriving at 9am to help the Pixies set ( Read more... )

   Yesterday (Saturday) Alex and Oi Kelly (known collectively as Kaelex) came down to pick me up, and waited at Diedrichs off La Paz for me to return from the wilderness creek-bed I was in at the time (true story). Unfortunately I was about an hour's hike from civilization.
   Anyway, then we headed up to see their friends in The Something play at ( Read more... )

   So after the MUN meeting today I go to the Coffee House, where Brillaint Red Lights, The Fiery Furnaces, and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists are playing for free.
   Shortly after getting there, Azver gives me the rest of his bottle of wine (in a brown paper bag of course), and then Entertainment Council director Andrea Chalupa gives me a peice of ( Read more... )

Last Samurai
   Returning from Tahoe on Friday, Kwisty and I went to see The Last Samurai   Overall I think the movie was very good. The only thing that bothered me was in the end when the two gatling guns managed to kill everyone in front of them even though they were only marginally capable of swivelling. There was actually a scene looking down ( Read more... )

   Today (Friday), I went to see Suburban Legends at Downtown Disney. This very ska band in this very location was of course the sight of countless adventures the summer before last, when they played there every day. Last summer however they played INSIDE the park, bougousie bastards, and being that I've never had a disneyland pass, I was unable ( Read more... )

Sunday Night
   So Saturday night, after I wrote that other entry, Sean and Ishar (iamrav) picked me up and we went to safe-way for alcohol.
   So we find ourselves looking at bud light and steel reserve. Everyone is indecisive. They ask me what I'd prefer and I indicate steel, they're like "yea steel sounds good." Then we look at the hard alcohol, ( Read more... )

   Taking Back Sunday played today on the quad for free. Unfortunately the Lesbian, Gay, Etcitera organization was having themselves an event as well and had gotten the sound permit. However our people talked to their people and we agreed we could peacefully co-exist at our opposite ends of the quad. This however, meant nothing apparently, to ( Read more... )
