i stayed up all night friday so i could mow the grass as soon as dawn hit...which i did...then i got my barely over an hour of sleep...then i drove 5.5 hrs to New Orleans...got to the hotel that
Sheree and
Eddie were staying in...fancy...vallet parking and everything...thoug that actually sucked 'cuz it costed a lot of money...they weren't there but they left a note for me giving directions to where they were...so i took a streetcar named death out past the elysian fields...no wait, i didn't go near there...i just went to the end of the line and walked over to the Virgin Megastore where Steve Shelley was doing a dj-ing thing...i talked to him for the second time in my life...i think i may have pulled off being cool or something...i asked which dates they were playing w/ Erase Errata in the next few days...said something about wanting to see them but keep missing them...like at ATP...then reverted to dorkiness and got a poster signed like the others...and something weird: i think i saw Abe there...he was turning around and walking away i almost said something but i was like "nah, i'm sure it's not him" then Sheree said something about some guy talking to them before they got there and said he was from Memphis...then we went on our way to the show...took the trolley a ways and then walked some blocks...just before we had made it i realized that i had fucking left my ticket in the hotel room...dohdohdohdohdoh!!! so i started running back (well, really more like jogging...but dear lord am i out of shape) i did it a few time until i couldn't run anymore...trolleyed back and got the ticket...just as i was walking back outside the hotel i saw the trolley taking off from the stop out front...so i had to wait for the next one...argh! i was also informed that JUST after i turned around they ran into Lee Ranaldo...though it seems Eddie something that ticked him off or something so maybe it was best i wasn't around for that...then the show...let me sum up the past events of the day again: mowed the grass, 1 hr of sleep, long drive, running 'til i was sore for a several short spurts, oh yea, and it was SUPER-hot inside...needless to say, i was fucking exhausted...Tim Prudhome was first...it was alright...the music was pretty Fuck-ish mostly...and was mostly pretty good...most of his jokes were pretty stupid...then was Mary Timony...it was pretty good...then of course, Sonic Youth...not one of the better times i've seen 'em...but i think this may have had something to do w/ how completely exhausted i was...several times i barely had the energy to bing my hands together to clap...the show was really good though...at one point, durring "Karenology," Thurton hung his guitar on the club's sign over the stage by the tuning pegs...it was one of the cooler things i've seen...back to the hotel, went and ate at some diner...went to fucking sleep...and now today we're in Montgomery, AL...(where they live...) i'm at Sheree's...i think we're gonna hang out shortly...tonight's an off night for the SY tour...my brain's a little away right now...but i am a dork and i wrote down the setlist as the show happened:
