g'night...



p.s. on the way to the detholz! show last night, my friend brandon pfeiffer called me from chatanooga, TN...he's been in nashville this week and had a cool story...he was meeting w/ a certain highly-coveted-music-award-winning producer, and he noticed that this certain producer had one of my photos as the desktop on his imac! brandon flipped out when he saw that...i guess the producer found my photos through brandon's links and said he really liked my photography...he asked brandon if he knew me, and brandon said that i'm his personal photographer! ha ha ha! i'm brandon pfeiffer's personal photographer! now if only brandon will hit it big and we can all retire...

and here's an interesting observation...



teddy's & my schedules have not been meshing much lately, so he's been pretty absent around here, and guess what? i have no dirty dishes in my sink! i realized that when teddy's not around and i'm home alone, i live totally on luna bars and triscuits, neither of which require plates or utensils of any kind...



ok...i should really jump in the shower now cuz i gots to catch the damen bus to meet teddy @ trader joe's and then it's off to the detholz! show!

p.s. happy birthday to robert pollard and thax douglas! keep rawkin'!

...well, i made it out to the mojave3 show last night...unfortunately, autumn defense cancelled and another band called grumble grumble opened up...autumn defense is john stiratt's other band (wilco's bassist) and i was really looking forward to hearing them play, so i was bummed, not to mention bored for two hours until mojave 3 finally took the stage close to 11pm...there were 7 of them up on stage...neil on guitar/keys/vox and rachel on bass/vox and ian on drums plus dudes on keys, lap steel, guitar (he looked like moby) and misc percussions/ambient sounds/techie...i stood right beneath rachel for most of the set...it was really crowded...you could just feel the love there wafting amongst the audience...



...they opened w/ bluebird of happiness off their new album, which has neil playing a lot more keys...they played a lot of songs off the new album (spoon and rafter)...and they played a lot of the old stuff...the first old song they played was 'yer feet' which i've heard ian cover a few times and which i love dearly...to hear the whole band do it live was a real treat...



...i said neil was gonna put a smile on my face, didn't i? well, i pretty much didn't stop smiling for the 75 minute set...and the best part? they closed their encore with 'sarah', which was a total bonus for me cuz that's my favorite 'sarah' song...all in all, 'twas a lovely show...yeah, there were some rough patches here and there but who cares ya know? they keep it real...



...and tonight is gonna be the detholz! @ the bottom lounge...always a pleasure to see those boys...let's see what the lights are like in that venue...i haven't actually attended a show there yet, although i've been inside the place...

so my cousin ike down in good ol' austin, tx put a sample of my blogger in the gender genie which you can access here and he said that based on my writing, the genie says i'm DEFINITELY FEMALE...like WOOHOO!!! now i know!! i'm mathematically a female!



in other news, it turns out that the apartment below me is NOT empty! this girl i ran into as she was seeing the apartment on tuesday evening ended up moving in yesterday! that was quick...she seems nice though, a lot more friendly than my previous neighbor, who was hardly ever home to her credit...
