Friday SkiffleCategory: photos
So Now at Sportmen's Tavern still not sure if it is with an e or an A and is it owned by sportsmen or is it multiple ones but in any event it is a great place and from what I have heard they get a lot of great bands... I'm sure there are bands I would like that I've never heard of and are not from my Genre of music... The food is pretty good and the drinks are cheap good place for a show... One of these days I need to check out the upstairs since it is now open... Granted the pix are if cause of the light coming in the window but The Skiffle Minstrels are allways a good time... There was an (e:peep) there that I don't know dancing (e:lindyfix) or something like that he teaches dance and has had performers at Music Is Art festival many times so here are the photos.....

Derek Jeter 3kCategory: movies
So as some of you know I'm a big Movie fan... Just watched a great Documentary ... Derek Jeter 3k... It is not only about his quest to get 3,000 hits but also a bit about his life. It is very good....
Now I have a small 22inch HD TV that I thought was 1080p but I think it is really only 720P and my cable box says 480 all the time so I'm a bit lost. Some shows are the right width but don't take up the height so that tells me the proportions aren't the same..... Even with this Baseball and the non baseball parts still look amazing. You can really feel the movement as well it is tough to explain... It is like Jeter is at bat and the fans are right there. It is really amazing to see... I really do think that Baseball is made for HD... I was at Sportsmen's tavern for the first time and they have a Nice HD TV on a wall and Baseball looked amazing it really did... Hard to explain with out seeing it......
Wish I could explain it better but the movie ( hbo special) is great

The Sheila DivineCategory: photos
I can admit that there was a time and it still might be true that I had seen The Sheila Divine in about 8 different Venues and that was in Buffalo never did the travel to Boston thing.... They where my favorite band well or right up there with Metallica.... Glad they are back together and like the new stuff (only heard it on facebook)..... First and last Square of the year unless you count going to Alice Cooper.....
The First band was good and called something like Potter's Farm. I'll talk more and try to explain not that I can what I was going through during the headliners...... Well here are the shots starting with sky shots not all of them are from there...
Now onto The Shelia Divine.....
With the possibility of Crowd Surfing and the lot I wasn't going to stay up front So I moved and got a drink for Tokyo Police club..... By the way doesn't that sound like a Japanese Animee wonder what if any the connection is.... Doesn't matter really......
There where a bevy of women there.... Oh there was this pretty and short and solid chick in front of me whom I wish I was strong enough just to pick up of course sure with all the text she was taken.......
I'm sure There are a bunch of ladies and guys who come just cause it is free and outside and nice and you can drink and don't care about the band I have no problem with that... I have no problem with the groups of hand holding girls or the dancers...... Now all that being said though all the couples and girls and the generally mellow feel of the music was making feel I don't know how really... Not alone not lonely not like I wanted to bang everyone it was just kinda an odd feeling really...... But it was kinda a down feeling in an odd way......
Well I know I had a good time next post most likely about Friday The Skiffle Minstrels... Good time and good food... But I do need to put some time into my DVR got a bunch of shows and stuff to watch.....

Well I didn't see them.... I don't think we where that far apart really... Hard to tell based on my perspective vs. their Perspective in a photo....
The Feeling is hard to explain Really.... It isn't like something is missing...It isn't like by my self... It is kinda like how a certain group (often in sports has condemnatory (not sure if that is right) where everyone kinda bonds in some odd way it was sort of the lack of that)... I could never give it a real name... Still had a great time and it was only during The Tokyo Police club...

It was rough but It was also a good time up till a point.... The thing with me is I'm fast! When I was a younger If I got my food last when out to eat I was still the first one done..... Not saying I'm the fastest eater but my style has all ways just been that way so unless it is something I have trouble consuming it goes down quick well with alcohol that is bad cause one quickly gets more in them then the body can handle... But unlike a time years ago I felt fine I was just really gross......

Sounds like a rough night. I saw (e:dimartiste) on Allen tonight and we hung out a bit. She was telling me about her poetry. I also saw (e:stickboy). It has been so long since I saw him.

Burlesque Infringing Wends.Category: photos
So On Wends-day I admit I did have a good time even though I drank to much and couldn't keep it down and got nicely tossed from Nietche's I think if I was the guy I would have let me stay and said... Ok you are cut off.... Keep your mess there and don't get it on anyone else.... Ah what ever still had a great time.... Now the thing with me is I have all ways been a fast eater, Worker, and drinker.... So Tasty fruity drinks go down easy and with the natural speed thing it is easy to get to much to quick... I also don't think the Sminorff Ice that wasn't really cold like it should be may be what spawned this.... But Burlesque a band poetry of the adult kind I mean erotic readings what isn't to like........
So That was the Hell's Harlots .......
Next up poetry featuring an (e:peep) and the Zombettes or something like that....
Up Next Mc Vandetta I wrote stuff down as it happened but not 100% then the Boom Boom Bettes (like Betty white or from the flintstones ?) In any event a great time....
It is dark but there is a wooden cut out statue of Grover Cleveland at the school so I figured see if I can capture that but it was just kinda to dark so.... Wasn't as much fun as I was hoping for but still a good time....

Can't fault yeah there really she sings pretty good to....
They are always a good time, can't help but have a little crush on the lovely lady fiddle player.
It makes perfect sense ... Not to stero type to much... But if say you went to some county in Africa where everyone was above 6 foot and where they learned drums at an early age but not as music but as a way to communicate or I'm sure the way the dance would reflect that culture.... Now I know there are many types of Latin music not sure what they all are and I assume the dancing that goes along with them differs. But if you grew up as a kid knowing how to say ball room dance I'm sure that would line up pretty close to some kind of Latin Dance....
In terms of dancing most do it just for fun for the music at a club or bar or what ever.... Yes there certain dances that must be done in certain steps or the dance is just wrong.... It is great to learn the step and build dancing skills.... Again being someone who doesn't dance.... My gut tells me that although those dancing can be learned with steps and what have you there is still a part where you feel the music.... Yes feel the music and move with it and take your own way of it... Hence at a hardcore show Kicks , elbows and punches if done right it is in their own personal space and as they move no one gets hit but those angry strike moves won't be the same for everyone....
Glad you meet him and that he is nice.....
I have actually met him before. He is a very nice person! I think all dance and art teachers and inherently nice people. There is something so generous about them always. It really takes infinite patience to share your artistic skills with everyone. I am not sure I have disliked any one of my numerous dance teachers. I have liked them all. I think it's frustration with not being able to take the art form further than I could that has resulted me in dropping out of so many. Sometimes the limitations of a dance form are so inherent it's hard to overcome them. Sometimes the culture associated with a dance form can go quite alien to yours and that is also a barrier.
That comment had nothing to do with what you said... but just putting it out there.
I say you walk right up to him (kidding and serious) and Say Hello I'm (e:tinypliny) a fellow (e:strip)per and since you only post about your school and nothing else and don't post pictures from performances I assume that this class is free to me or at a deep discounted rate.... Wonder if he would shit his pants.... Seriously though watched those two dance it is amazing how quick they move. They looked quicker then pro athletes and I do mean that the two of them together moved.... There where others dancing at other times but maybe it is just that the music fit that quick dance style.....
I want to learn the basics of lindy hop someday.
