And, we're back!

3190939395_8ee8547394_o.jpg Hazelwood Motel put on a great show last Thursday, and the Animals at Night & Black Daisy stole a good slice of the stage. Plus I have a new BFF, who likes to leave me encouraging comments. It's awesome!

3136697517_8c0d330264_o.jpg Oh, and I finally starting getting to my archives, which are popping up here and there around my flickr sets. I remember being beyond excited to have gotten this shot to come out. Speaking of Charles, Kevin & Co., they've got some news underfoot.

Things & items:

  • Andrew from Pablo Trucker lives downstairs from me, with his awesome girlfriend Jessica. What are the odds, right? And they're playing Saturday at the Sunset, inbetween the Tripwires and Visqueen sets at the Tractor.
  • I have internet. Just sayin'.
  • The pictures have not disappeared. Part of me keeps expecting them to.
  • Mini-tour '09 starts this week, with the Fountains of Wayne acoustic show on Thursday, Moondoggies on Friday, and the Saturday Night Ballard Spectacular mentioned above. I'm going to have to start wearing sneakers to shows.
  • Next week is (ready?) Tapes 'n Tapes on Tuesday, Damien Jurado on Wednesday, Jenny Lewis / Norfolk & Western on Thursday, ChrisB's birthday party on Friday, and the Walkmen on Saturday. I'm tired just thinking about it.
Um... not kidding. I'm going to bed. Stat.

So good! So good! So good!
