So many shows... so much trivia...
Okay:
past few weeks: new job -- mehhh? not loving it. still not sure if i'll stay. however, having the parking spot is mighty nice... still considering sermet's b/c i'd be happier, but make $1/hr less...
trivia two weeks ago: 2nd place! Team "Snapes on a plane": me, Taylor, Maddog, Mary Ann, and Jim.
trivia last week: ohhhhh, we won! (me, Taylor, Maddog, Mary Ann, and Sermet's Sarah- Team "education + tragedy = happiness" or something) and we beat the rival team of Bill Carson, Nathan Koci, and co. ("dutch oven muppet experiment") That was the real victory, especially b/c I'd caught Bill at the door and asked if he wanted to join our team. He'd politely refused and said they were meeting friends and would be on that team. Final score: E+T=H : 1st place, $50 bar tab. DOME: 5th place, $0 bar tab. Oh yeah. Beat them on the last question.
Friday night: David Mead show at the vt. it was pretty sweet. but the opener guy soon lapsed into christian rock, so Kaminsky's Sarah bought us (m, T, MA) appropriate shots ("the blood of christ" hahahaha) to deaden the pain. DM was just adorable. He was dressed very 1950s, with a red pomp, button down shirt, and cuffed jeans. Johnny Gray played w/him too, and that of course was fun. I didn't see much of the circular strumming I'd heard so much about, but i did get to see a pbr in a can spilled on a ukelele. ("the uke took a hit! the uke is down!"). fun show.
saturday: flea marketness. oh yes, this is a supreme flea market. wow. scored a serger, a 1914 sewing machine (too heavy for me to get it out of my car. i need a boy for that.), and an amber globe light that's real similar to the one in my room back home. I went swing dancing briefly, and convinced only one person to trek on over to O'Hara and Flynn's for the requisite weekly music/wine (or mineral water, as was the case last night for me) enjoyment. Nobody blues dances here. it sucks. I balboa-ed ("bal"ed. to "revolution is eternal") with the guy who came with, and it was fun. he wasn't real happy with the whole atmosphere, i don't think. perhaps he's not into that type of music, or felt out of place b/c everyone in the wineshop was friends and we had a certain rapport. taylor came and hung out. good times for everyone except random bal boy.
I missed Jim a lot, b/c he would've dug the impromptu jams going down, and even known the words to that one verse of "Rocky Raccoon."
sunday. lazy sunday. violent femmes show tonight with taylor.
(last weekend was bill/nathan/flynn/kaler at redux, then "athens night" with the modern skirts at cumberlands... i do go out a lot, non?)
