I’m reading over my blog, and I’m noticing several things:
– I’ve been very sporadic in updating this. my apologies to those of you who bother to check regularly!! I’ve been really really busy lately. >_blake was involved in a motorcycle accident back in september. I found out yesterday that he passed away september 25th. Thank you to those of you who donated blood for him, those who sent him your prayers, and those who kept him in your thoughts.
My friend Cynthia and I went to see Special Goodness at the Knitting Factory last Thursday. Special Goodness is the band that Pat, the drummer for Weezer, is in. It’s his spiffy side project. Highlight of the night: making an ass of myself when talking to Pat after the show. Runner up: making an even bigger ass of myself to the lead singer/accordian player of SnMnMnM, the first opening act of the night. that conversation went like this:
lead singer: We really rock! like.. have you heard of the mighty mighty bosstones?
me: really? hey, cool! I dig them! wait, so what instrument do you play?
lead singer: I play the accordian, and this guy here plays the trumpet. sometimes i play the trumpet too…
me: really? you play the accordian?? hey that’s cool! like the counting crows!
lead singer [aghast look, clearly feeling misunderstood]: uhh..no. not like the counting crows.
me: [proceeds to try to save herself, but to no avail… conversation ends awkwardly.]
hehehe, but it was fun. I actually didn’t even catch their performance since cyn and i didn’t get there until special goodness’ last two songs. so… we basically paid $7 to hear two songs; talk to karl, the webmaster (third runner up in pearl making an ass of herself night); talk to the lead singer of SnMnMnM; and catch a glimpse of Rivers Cuomo just as I walked away from talking to Pat (DAMN!).
this weekend was also really awesome… go APHIO FALL FELLOWSHIP!! I’ll have to make a page for this later. :) it was so awesome.. we went to riverside and met up with chapters from all over california: UCSD, UCR, USC, Hayward State, Sac State, UC Davis, etc etc. Freaking cool.
time to study.
