"no wimps! no false metal!"

[ateolf]

my new Converse arrived in the mail today...that was quick...now i'm wearing sweet green shoes...uh, sweet...ended up meeting David and together we went to the show...we arrived a bit late and only caught the end of Dälek's set...the last mabye 10 min or so...but what we saw was fuckin' great...the very end completely stomped my ballz when it went into a sudden wall of noise...i've never really listened to Melvins...they're a band i'd been meaning to check out but never got around to...maybe it's good that i didn't...their set was fucking awful...the prhase "VERY METAL" comes to mind...and King Buzzo sounded like fuckin' Rob Zombie...however, Keith is a fan of their and agreed that they sucked tonight...so maybe i should eventually check them out and it was just an off-night...one of the cooler thing about the show: between the Melvins and Tomahawk they played the Suspiria soundtrack on the overhead...Goblin fuckin' rules...also, we ended up seeing Josh Summit...he gave me his number too and is talking about this space he might be setting up for shows in the near future...Neil Hamburger came on the stage there to mention his "after-show party" and gave a "sneak-preview" of a few of his jokes...i was planning on going to the show anyway, but that was my first actual experience hearing his wonderful comedy...i almost died...it was fuckin' hilarious...then Tomahawk came on...in case anyone doesn't know, this is a Mike Patton band...David and i decided to be diplomatic and give them two songs...we left right after the second song started...on the way out i bought Dälek's From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots cd...as we left and were walking around the corner, the guy who plays laptop in Dälek walked past us and saw the cd in my hand and said "thanks for supporting us" i think i shook his hand and told him they were great or something like that...he was really nice...that was pretty cool...

check it out: new paragraph!
we went over for the Neil Hamburger show at the Hi-Tone...when we arrived Automusik was already playing...they're a local band i'd been interested in seeing...but now that i have...god they fucking suck...the schtick isn't even pulled off well...now i really wanna start a band to directly compete against them...to do the whole thing right...the new "german elektropop" group Brautwerk...it is my dream now...before the main attraction there was another "comedian" that did a brief act...some guy dressed up as a housewife attempting to do Neil Hamburger-esque comedy but being completely unfunny and terrible (no, i'm not being ironic...) there was ONE funny joke having to do with what a vagina looks like after sex: a bulldog that just ate a bunch of mayonnaise...but the rest was painful...then finally Neil Hamburger came on...it was FUCKING GREAT...one of the funniest things i've ever seen...i said that i almost died from his brief act at the other show...well, uh, at his real show i almost died even more...or something...yea...amazing shit...as you can see, i bought his 50 States 50 Laughs "limited edition - tour souvenir" cd...as well as a shirt...

afterwards David and i went and ate at Denny's...then went to Justin's but his light was off so we figured he was asleep and went back to David's where we watched Trick or Treat...this is one of the funniest fucking movies ever!!! (and no, it's not a comedy...) pure genius, that...good"night", ya'll...
