I'm slack about posting... whoops.
Wow, it's been over a month. Guess I kinda forgot I had a blog. Time flies when you're having fun, ya know?
More Kiki shows: one on May 9th, one last week at Club Pantheon. Things have been going really well, except some costumes went MIA somewhere between Chucktown and Asheville. which sucks. So I hunted down new costumes as best as I could. (and then, God bless her, Cary found a great thrift store dress for one of the dancers, so I could stop freaking out about not finding one at the mall that lacked slutty stores. All I needed was a slutty store... silly citadel mall...)
We had a drag queen in the Pantheon show. She was gorgeous and soooo amazingly talented. I wish I would've gone back to my car and gotten my camera, but I'd already made an emergency run back to Kiki Kostume HQ for extra pieces, so I wasn't keen on leaving again. Blast. I should be better about taking pictures, b/c the process is always fascinating to look back upon. Plus the dressing room had better lighting, so pics would've been clearer. Gah...
As far as I know, there's another show on the 29th. Not sure how the show is evolving exactly, but it can't be too significant b/c that date is not so very far off. Also, Kiki (minus some of the dancers) is playing Asheville again, so that time will be shot, too. Unless... I go with, and the downtime is spent contemplating Kiki Evolution aka "Kiki Intelligent Design." hahaha. I'm funny. right.
I guess I also go out a lot, too. Last week: something sunday?, Metal Monday, Thursday night Ward show, Friday night Bill and Nathan gig, Saturday night Carbon Leaf at the Windjammer. Good times, especially the first three shows.
(Oddly enough, the show that cost the most, the CL one, was the least fun. I suffer from "Non-Charleston Band Disenchantment" -- I'm too close to the scene to experience the magic of a rock show that doesn't include someone I know. Or at least, in that case. Maybe it just wasn't a rockin show... also a possibility. But Carbon Leaf was sooo good last year when they opened for Guster! it was odd... I hope I can enjoy other shows still. It could've definitely been the venue. Plus I was concentrating on how wicked cold I was the whole time, which could've also interfered with enjoying CL. We'll find out if I go to the Dick Prall show when I'm back in Chicagoland (if I stay that long).
I'm skipping town for a few days to load up my car w/ all the cool things that I couldn't fit on the way down (back in March) b/c of Kiki costumes and other various necessities. So that will be good, b/c I can miss the hurricane when it comes through here. I think I'm leaving early enough tomorrow that I should miss the rain 'n' stuff. I'm not ready to face a hurricane yet, not if I don't have to!
