another boring show post

There is a billion things to see and do in Los Angeles-ish.
These are more for me than you, so feel free to skip.

Links to better blogs over there.
To the right. Where I'm pointing at.
Yeah those.

I think xTx is having a bad day so say nice things in her comments.

Sat
Powerchords @ Santa Fe Cafe (Fullerton train station) - free - on the train platform.

Don't know how many of you make it out to Fullerton (in the OC..the North OC oh my), but there is great old lounge bar called The Continental Room worth visiting. Crowded on the weekends, but the weeknights are better with dressed up bartenders and performers such as a Fat Elvis, and soon to be playing shows again I hope,
    The band teasingly plays against a backdrop of electronic loops, samples and soundscapes, blurring the lines completely to captures its audience at every turn. It is a well-choreographed sideshow where slide guitars co-exist with laptop computers, vocal melodies drift into jazz scats, and upright bass lines morph into synth grooves.
Sunset Room @ myspace
main site with downloads and stuff

Great music to drink a martini to.

Now next week is just crazy if I actually do these things. We all know I'm going to be sitting at home myspace stalking watching Antiques Roadshow.

Monday

Midway (9pm) returns to the scene of the crime: The Silverlake Lounge where I'm proud to say that I was present for Midway's worst show ever. Free with The Mormons (10Pm) and resident band for the month, Ninja Academy (11pm).

In lesser odds of attending due to distance mostly:

Tuesday: Jessica Dobson at the Prospector - LBC $3 @ 11pm 21+

Wednesday: Mellowdrone
with Monsters Are Waiting opening
Detroit Bar - surprising not in Detroit but Costa Mesa
Only 6 bucks. This uber buzz hipster band combo makes it worth the drive from LA

Friday May 5th
Cinco de Mayo means absolutely nothing to me other than a little event I attended 10 years ago (!) at the Crocker Mansion in Hillsborough. In retrospect I should've skipped the event and went straight to the afterparty. I kid.

I'm soo not going to that - Instead I'm going to check out the bog people disco party at the natural history museum that caroline wrote about. That's a lie - I have things to do that night but I'll see the bog people at a normal hour later.

bog people = yum.

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I

moaning post

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then

Too late movie reviews

I love going to the dollar cinema, so instead of torturing you folks with another I have crush and a pic of DG is still my background image, blah blah blahness , I'm going to give you my take on the last two movies I saw on the cheap. Reviews given without regard for insightfulness and with the assumption that you already seen these films. Madagascar The lemurs were great especially King Julian as played by Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show - he is Ali G) . Every one talked about the penguins, but they are so not funny. Guess the kids and retards like them. Dreamworks animated films will never be on the same level or quality of an average Pixar film. They play more for the lowest common demoniator of the viewing public, releasing quanity over quality. This doesn't hurt Madagascar because the movie hits enough jokes, sight gags, and movie references to keep feeling fresh. It's more topical than groundbreaking, keeping with old WB cartoons compare to Pixar's goal for timel
