Mary Beth and I went to another class at the Metal Museum. This one was for making spoon rings. They provided the cut off handle of a baby spoon and then we bent it til it was made into a ring. There was a machine to help with it and Mary Beth used it, but since there was one I figured I'd just do it the hard way they also showed of hammering it while it's in a vice so other people could have a chance to use the machine if they wanted. There were a variety of tools to use but it was a little bit of a pain to get it just the right size, the slightest thing would make it either too big or too small. I dinged mine up a whole lot, and in the end got some help to finish the last touches. It was fun, though easily the hardest of these that we've done! Coming home we swung by TFM and picked up a few things.
Then at night I went to a show at The Lamplighter. There was kind of this deconstructed Drop Ceiling performance. First, Peter did a duet with Spence (I found out Peter wasn't at that last Drop Ceiling show because he just got back from Germany). And it ended up with Schaeffer doing a duet with Logan. And then in the middle all four were playing together for a little bit. So it was this continual shifting configuration. It was really good as those dudes always are. Then the other group was Revenge Bodies (not to be confused with Jacques and his Revenge Body)! They're from Little Rock and this is Dave's current band, Dave who currently lives in Little Rock but was in Memphis for a good while back and I was in a punk band with him and Jason Ledet called Culture Rubs You the Wrong Way in the late 90s. So I hadn't seen him in forever. I knew Revenge Bodies was punk and I was expecting something maybe on the hardcore side, and while I guess there is something of that element, they mostly reminded me of Fugazi and they were really good. So that was awesome to see him again and dig his band so much. They did a Dead Kennedys cover and that was fun (Dave was also warming up before they played with "Down on the Street"). He plays bass in this band (he played guitar when I played with him so I was expecting that). He also does a cool thing now and again where he hits a chord on the bass and it's a little dissonant and heavy and cool-sounding. Anyway, that was a fun show!
