come one, come all, to this tragic affair

i've made it through the whole week.

too many shows. by friday i was over it and not really chatty @ firescape.

last sat 3/10 - my chem. i hadn't seen them in forever and i was SO SO SO EXCITED. live > cd. love them so hard. i wish the stage weren't so big though, cos they looked way too spread out.

3/11 - the outline @ knitting factory, then decapulet @ alterknit lounge. this one killed me, i think. the last time i did two shows back-to-back (1pm then 6pm or something) was for the truckstops and statelines tour last year w/ tai, acceptance (rip), hgb, and patd. the outline killed as usual; i don't think i've ever seen them play a bad show. blegh on the lighting @ knitting factory. i traded my soul (aka i had to promise to be nice for the next x amount of shows) in exchange for a free poster. we'll see how long that lasts, considering my purpose in life is to be rude to band members. decapulet about an hr later, but not before i got my metallll on with roses for ophelia (fyi i am not a fan of metal), thoroughly amusing e in the process. decapulet was pretty endearing, they had a couple of fans who had flown out from texas and they had the audience sit down on the floor. i felt like i was back at molly malone's with firescape, except with 10 people and not 5. oh and there was THE MOST CRACKED OUT OLD LADY mc-ing. i swear. i died of the lolz and e took pix.

3/12 - day off.

3/13 - william tell album release party at the troub. we found sweet parking (aka free. who parks for free in la? you know how we do.) the oohlas went on early, am sad i missed them playing rupert and a quarter of their set. tried out my new rebel xti but i suck. irene probs has good photos that she'll be posting soon. will came on, his set was massively short. andrew mcmahon came out and played on fairfax (surprise). lighting was decent so i tried shooting with both cams. had my sorority girl/omg-i'm-so-la moment with andrew ("omg i haven't seen you in foreverrr! how are ya") and laura got her long-awaited photo with andrew. hugs and lolz. afterrrrrparty. long story. never been to a pop-industry thing so that was weird for me. open bar. denny's. made some new friends. home at 3am. love.

3/14 - day off. just kidding. school was excruciatingly painful but lots of lolz in writing class. club moscow @ boardner's for the outline. i cannot handle teenage hipsters. they scare me and i much rather prefer emo kids. love you guys.

3/15 - day off. forreals.

3/16 - firescape @ the alley. traffic was bad but not terrible. first time i've seen them NOT acoustic so that was definitely different. i kept making weird eye contact with josh, and i wasn't happy about that. i don't even know.

now i get to catch up on homework. remind me WHY i went to all of these shows this week. insanity.

ps. will tell photos soon i guess.
