total recall



i hate when people say "governator". come on! get original! how about "conan the governarian" or "kindergarten governor" or "danny devitos twin brogovernor". looks like arnold is going to "jingle all the way" to sacramento after all.

last night's show was pretty good. the sac_indie_chicks were having a book club meeting in the back of the capital garage while we were playing, so i thought i'd make myself an audience member by standing in front of the stage, clapping after every song and making requests (which happened to follow the set-list). we had fun, but there was no vodka in the establishment, so i reluctantly cashed drink tickets in for newcastle (beer has been making me feel sick in the morning...even the good stuff).

dressy bessy was great. their old songs from their first 11-songs-in-20-minutes album are still their best songs, and i'm glad they busted out one-or two of them to keep me happy. after the first song they played, the singer's fuzz pedal crapped out on her, so i saved the day by busting out mine. funny thing is, i was inspired to buy that pedal because of them and the apples in stereo.

while dressy bessy was playing, some hippy guy standing next to me started doing some crazy hippy dance*, which inspired some other kid across the room to do some crazy russian folk kick dance. later on some flash mobbers came in and started a dance party, then suddenly left.

for some reason becky and frank from my favorite SF band, the mosquitoes, were at the show, so i went up to them to say hi (becky was also in #poundsign#, frank's real band is the bright lights, and he toured as boyracer's drummer once) since the frenchmen played with them a long time ago.

np: "the fan" - my computer

p.s. there is something wrong about this


* the closest mainstream comparison to this dance is Axel Rose, Guns & Roses, circa Use Your Illusion putting his arms together and sorta twisting his way while sorta movin' his backside around in a flowy, yet testosteronially charged manner (I mean, he was a rock star.)
