well...
I am not feeling too great this weekend. I came down with one of the nasty nasty drippy nose colds on thursday and the bitch won't go away no matter how much whisky and second hand smoke I feed her...

wait a minute... I have been eating chicken soup as well, drinking tea and going to bed early....everything in moderation

I got to see my girls today- talk performance at gigi's cafe- go to the library, return that Speak Spanish disk I have had for over a year, and pick up a 4-disk Wagner Opera for my scene design class- is anyone familiar with the story of Parsifal? It's all about the grail myths and I am trying to figure out something appealing about them that would interest a modern audience...

I also got to see Elinor and chill
I went to the Quest, the sucky, ugly Quest- to see the Donnas and I didn't think they were very good, but yes, the guitar player is hot.
The von bondies were much worse, but that's not saying a lot. I ran into an old roommate. We haven't spoken in years. I figured I would go say hi, since it was the second time I noticed her in the same room as me that night- I had spotted her earlier at Luce, not sure if she saw me- but I pretended that I never saw her - since I really didn't want to talk to her- but then I saw her again at the sucky Quest- (what are the chances?) and we talked- but then lost eachother when the music started.
I'm okay with that.

Afterwards, it was the Fine Line for some entertainment by Big Sand- which I liked, in principle- the singer sortof reminded me of a cooler, less egotistical, but similarly sassy Billy Bob Thornton.... but some may disagree... anyway, he was having some technical problems that I wish he would have just taken the time to fix... and someone has to do something about the volume levels in-between sets at these shows, because I am practically hoarse from screaming at people just to have a conversation....
it's so wierd- it's like we all go together to clubs-
we can be all alone together listening to music- since it's nearly impossible to pleasantly chat.
but I'm a littel crabby... it's the cold medicine among other things like early winter angst buildup- it's that sun I miss...


But the music was good and warmly southern in an Arizona fashion- we slow-danced a little- and the next band was nice- the Handsome family -for the most part, it was a lot of Liberal Cowboys and Cowgirls on stage- and I like that--- and I would have liked to stay longer, but my bod was telling me to get out of there...
until next time
Peace out-
bed calls
sleep in late
