A week of rain and shows and alcohol…
Went to see Don Caballero last night and didn’t realize that they didn’t go on till like Midnight. Ugh. Why would anyone play a show at Knitting Factory and then not go on till Midnight?? We got there at like 930 and the second band was already on and it sounded like they played the same song for about 45 mins straight. So in the ‘bar area’ in Knitting Factory, they are doing some construction or whatever so there are no seats, no tables and no AC. Double Ugh.. The third band went on and they really really wanted to be Pelican.. Finally, after 4 or 5 beers, and two and a half hours later, Don Cab went on. Let me say this, Damon Che is really fun to watch. That being said, the new band sort of sucked and it felt a bit like everyone was trying to keep up with him. Oh well… A slice of pizza later, I was asleep.
Next weekend, my friend Yancy and I are heading to the pitchfork festival. My friend Ken, got us some sweet rooms, so we are going to be living it up in Chitown.. Can I say Chitown?
I saw half of Clerks 2 today. Don’t ask. Ill probably finish it tomorrow..
Here are some pictures from the last few days.. Enjoy. kristian.
� A day in the Park with the Upright Citizen’s Brigade. More pictures here (not taken by me)
When you are really hot, you can always find salvation (lots of AC) in a church
Anyone see this? We are almost like London now…
My friend and local bartender.

Do your homework, my young friend. The third band on the 7/21 Don Cab bill was Alger Hiss. It’s pretty unlikely that they “wanted to be Pelican” as you claim. They started in the early 90s, when Pelican was probably still in grade school.

Damn.. I love it when people give it to me.. metaphorically of course. Dear Anon, thanks. I wasn’t really that into them but that doesn’t mean they weren’t good. Maybe I will find a Alger Hiss song and post it up.. Any songs you recommend?? tpguy PS thanks for calling me young. appreciate it.
