I am woefully losing that battle.
In a nutshell. I promised my Grinderman (aka Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) ticket for tonight to a true fan so I could see Eisley. You've never heard of them, but when I saw them the time before last, I was also short on time due to leaving for a 2 week vacation the next day. Seemed like a stupid idea to see a band instead of packing in advance of my 7am flight. BUT that show resounded in my mind for the entire trip. Certainly got my $16 worth.
Tonight I have to bike down to GAMH to pick my my ticket when doors open at 8pm and hand it over to Carolin, then backtrack to the Swedish American Hall for Eisley (show starts at 7:30!!! who the hell starts a show at 7:30? Luckily there's one opening band, but still).
So Tegan and Sara was fucking amazing. They "warned" the audience they would be playing their new album in it's entirety first, and they went straight through all 14 songs. There were a few good ones, but nothing remotely comparable to the second half of their set. Damn, they wrote some great fucking tunes.
I would tell you more about how and why I dyked out for the show, and how they played Kimya Dawson - I Will Never Forget before the show, and about running into Steve #1 [inlink]twisted,36581[/inlink] at the free Virgin in-store show, and the goddamn blood blister I got while contorting myself to chain my bike outside the store because I was in a hurry...
Ouch!
...but I have to get going.
First of all it is interesting how sometimes we think alike (e:ladycroft) in that first picture I was thinking the same thing but couldn't of the type of "Big Cat" it was. I will admit when there was a fire going in the back at the party at the 24 last night. I did think of ya for a second (not sure of the real amount of time but I think you know what I mean. Before I saw it wasn't your cat I was going to suggest that it starts its own blog maybe it still could I think it would make cat three.
Oops, that link doesn't work because of the (). Check the breed out (believed to be from Egypt) at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyssinian_(cat) .
He's an :::link:::(cat) Abyssinian. They like to sit on your shoulders (seriously!), and this one likes to drink from running water -- thus the bathroom sink shots. p.s. -- I relocated my toothbrush to a safe place. If I'm getting cooties from anyone this weekend it's not going to be the cat, haha.
what kind of cat is that!? it looks like some kind of oriental? that first pic makes it look like a freaking puma ready to puncture your jugular!
