last night's show:

the consumers with steel ponies and bettersweet at the choppin' block in brigham circle, boston.

i showed up and noticed that one of the guys in the first band looks a lot like becky's ex-boyfriend. sure enough, she walks in and it's him. turns out she always thought he was gay, and so does everyone else, including a girl he dated once...who was also at the show. awkward, i bet. anyway, we rocked out, prolly one of the best shows we've played. until april 10th....

last night's show:

the consumers played at o'briens in allston with some nü metal bands that i can't remember the name of. it was too much alice in chains / bad metallica / bad led zeppelin / guns 'n' roses crap for our 4 fans to handle. we played well as a band, despite the sound guy completely fucking up our set. i couldn't hear myself, even though i was standing next to my amp, and matt couldn't hear norah. i don't know what norah heard. anyway, we're playing again on thursday the 18th with the steel ponies, and some other band at the choppin' block near mission hill. i'm looking forward to it, promoting it, and getting people to go. that's it....i'm keeping my hopes up.

holy crap.

what a crazy, unexpected reunion type weekend.

on friday i went back to the university of hartford to catcha show at the hawk's nest with becky. the band was big bear, with joel roston, his girlfriend jordan, rueben and dave altman. the audience also had noel dorsey, some girl that looked really really familiar, lacey, a girl named rochel that was friends with john morowitz, carmella, and dan friel. weird to see them all again, considering i thought i had seen dan in an onion article earlier that day. it was him, and he said that if i ever made it down to new york he could have them take my picture too. apparently ty braxton is also in another onion article. after that, on saturday, it was the last Start! ever. it was phenominal. everybody looked great, rob and krista showed for a little while too, and athena brought shawn, who was scarce throughout. of course athena was all upset, but big phooie. she had 5 months to dance with me, but kept the upholding friendship which let to cheesmo 6th grade dance style. i wanted to get dirty, and becky was perfect. she had an amazing time, as well as i did. i will miss Start!, i will miss the trashy people who look great, the electroclash, the expensive beers, the drunken dancefloors, but most of all, the coked up emerson scenesters. so much fun. RIP, Start!. Sunday Becky and I developed film, and tonight i'm getting together with collins. i cannot wait. i haven't seen him in a year when i visited amsterdam. shit. work beckons.

last night - the consumers - we played at all asia in cambridge. it was a good show despite two screw ups on my part. feh.

it was for a women's benfit concert. before the set i was in the bathroom doing my business. ironically enough (and isn't that what rock n roll is all about these days) there was a sticker for some band right in the line of fire on the back wall of the urinal depicting a chick in a leather thong or some shit bending over. you had no choice but to pee on the sticker. it was inevitable. women's rights concert. i'm pissing on chick before the set. funny. ironic.

but is it art?!?
