donnie is trying to get work as an extra, so we had a rather bromosexual photoshoot on alicia’s bed.

later that same day…

we treated the thermals (who are awesome) to BC’s favourite export after their show (which was pretty rocking), and i talked to them about eddie vedder and sleater-kinney and elliot smith and good vancouver bands. had this guy turned around and filmed the quasi mosh pit (is it still called a mosh pit? surely someone must have coined a new term since the grunge era for a rambunctious crowd), he woulda saw a tall lanky dude lettin loose.

we also went to see camera obscura. we only made it for the last few songs, but i had had far too may drinks to stand still for scottish shoe gaze anyway.

arriving late to shows and not paying (or just having to tip at the coat check) has proven a successful tactic, especially when nba jam and penalty shots (i hang out with too many people from wawa) keeps us from leaving in time to actually catch the whole show. the last few songs + encore is usually the best part anyway, or at least that’s what i told myself for do make say think: i dont know why more bands don’t have two drummers.
