No sleep...going to need copious amounts of coffee today...
I fell asleep for a bit in class...didn't miss anything...
Blah blah blah....SharePoint SharePoint SharePoint...Web Web Web...done!
I need a nap...have a headache...it's 4:30pm...Springer! Springer! Springer! I get up...I was debating skipping the first couple of bands for a sleep, especially since Naaz bailed still feeling the ills of that dreaded Mocha...and Jan and Dave had plans already...but I thought NO...I'm here, it's what I want to do...let's go!
So I do the 2s's...still no razor to shave with...done my punk best...and head downtown again. First Stop...The Drake Hotel...Digits starts at 8, Low Level Flight to follow...great warm up...then jump in the Jeep, head further up Queen to the Rivoli...tried to get in there last year, forget for what band...but was following Carrie, Amber, and Mary 5E around...so went where they went...I knew Saint Alvia would be heavy...headache hadn't subsided...but fuckit....it's Saint Alvia.... \m/....the crowd went nuts for them...spitting beer back and forth...tattooed chicks pierced everywhere wearing almost nothing abounded....woot! But this is not why I came downtown...
The Horseshoe Tavern...like the Temple on the Mount for Indie Music...or was at least...the first time in there I saw the Rheostatics....I'll never forget that night...My friend Jennie introduced me to a band called The Besnard Lakes...gloom rock for lack of a better term, very sedate...but very good...they went on stage at the Horseshoe at midnight...They are up there for my current favourite band...edged out by Airborne Toxic Event...
I capped the night off at the most rockingness kickass motherfucking dive but you fucking love it place on all of Queen...The Bovine Sex Club....Monster Truck 2am....raaaaaaawwwwkkkk!!!!! and it woke we up some too, allowed me to make it back to the hotel, and crawl into bed at 4am yet again....I think I'm going to die tomorrow...
Helix was right....
