i wrote seven thousand words tonight, in under four hours. i have no idea how i did this, i think it might have to be chalked up to magic.
then i took myself off to the bluebird to see a bunch of bands. i really liked the first band that played (the analysts). they sounded a [...]
warped tour.
the doors were at 11 AM and the bands were supposed to go on at noon.
annie and i arrived just exactly at 11, and as we got out of the car we could hear the strains of the delicious cobra starship… except what the fuck? they were not supposed to be on stage! well, [...]
tonight i went to the bluebird for the republic tigers and nada surf. i totally dug the republic tigers. they reminded me of mazzy star, but with a dude singer.
nada surf was kind of unimpressive, but i didn’t stay past the fourth song. breathing was tough b/c the air was soupy, and my [...]
the panic at the disco show wasn’t all that, or a bag of chips. i, for about a minute, seriously considered writing my rft review with a decidedly negative slant (dudes have been touring for almost three years straight and still can’t pull together a dec live show? what?) and calling it: panic at the [...]

the venue was okay, but the sound was [...]

this is a picture of the venue i was at tonight with annie. you can’t really see anything in the picture, b/c the lighting was super bad. oh well.
i was going to talk about how awesome the show tonight was — think of drill meets oasis meets mazzy star, which, honestly, yeah, is basically tailor [...]
some girl i bumped into in the venue tonight made cookies for cobra starship — one for each member of the band, plus ones that spell out C – O – B – R – A. and one with a cobra! a cobra made of frosting!
