Can't Swing A Dead Cat Without Hitting A Concert (Updated)

Holy CRAP - this is what my current concert calendar looks like.

2.16 - The Sisters of Mercy
2.18 - Wayne Newton
2.24 - The Wedding Present
2.27 - Robyn Hitchcock

3.2 - Stereolab
3.4 - A DJ gig at some crazy candy raver party...should be fun
3.10 - Voxtrot
3.21 - Belle & Sebastian
3.22 - The Sisters of Mercy
3.23 - Hope Chest gig


Good heavens. Do you realise how much whiskey that adds up to?!?!

And for the record, I AM SO MOTHERFUCKING PISSED OFF that I didn't know David Gilmour is going on tour. He's gonna be at the Paramount in April, which is about 3 blocks from my work and incredibly beautiful. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckety fuck. FUCK.


UPDATE: Added Stereolab. Gotta love the Bay Area. I am also pissed I will miss Saint Etienne whilst in Vegas. That is all.

Didn't candy ravers go extinct sometime around 1998?

PR, I'm jealous. Please post a picture somewhere so I can see you, the wife and Wayne. That's awesome. I heard he's just fantastic to his fans.

When you're famous, you have to be that way with your fans.

That is so awesome about Wayne!

I am in San Fran the last weekend of March. Any gig the weekend after the 23rd for Hope Chest that we can drag UC to?

Pop, I've been looking at your picture for how long now, and only just now enlarged it, to figure out what the heck it is, and I'm so embarrassed. I should have known. I don't know why I'm fessing up. Maybe just to say that I get it now!

teh - they exist alright. the dude who's throwing the party has a screen name of "extasyeater". dear god. lemme tell ya about the trance campout we did last year...

smarty - if i get famous, everyone's partying with me. on me.

ag - lemme see whatsahappenin'. if nothing, i'd love to cook you dinner.

mdhatter - YES!!! WOOO-HOOO!!!! **does the obnoxious dance of victory**

alex - if i paced myself, i'd be bored senseless. and sober. **SHUDDER**

heidi - if you could tell what that was a pic of WITHOUT enlarging it, it would be a miracle. i know what it is and still cannae tell, it's so damn small.

l.c. - seeing for the first time, reason being the sisters of mercy gig, but i will be scouting clubs for the dj crew. venues for the band i already know. i should prolly burn some sets, just in case.

Dude i figured it out in about tree seconds after I enlarged it. It's those floor pedal thingies guitarist and bassists use and a mic stand and shizzle like that. I used to be a sound tech, so ima genius. Plus, I'm also a genius.

pr, you said* you'd burn me one of your sets (1st half your obscure 80s dance/electro/ second half a baggy/wall o' sound fuzzy set.

*you didn't+

+but I'd love you forever and AG would have like a million of your babies if you would do it.

Pop! Maybe we can have you kids over to this side of the stinkin' bay for AG?

Pee-Ess: Who the fuck is Miss Modular, anyway? Show your face, bitch! You wanna own MY MAN'S blog, you need to repre-fuckin'-zent, yo!

Ooh, AG girl, where my vaseline at? Here, take my earrings...

Yesss AG, you know of it.

My friend since I was 6 has a birthday on St Patricks day (lucky bastard), and lives in the Valley. Pearl street is an appropriately small venue to see Stereolab.
