dead arms! but also, sad.

boo.
Joss comments, teases here.

[the best show] you aren't watching.

There is a show and it is good. There is a show that is good and no one is watching. There is a show that is good that no one is watching except for some die-hard fans. There is a show that is good that no one except hardcore geeks are watching and I want you to know that it is quality television, wedged onto a crappy Friday night spot so people don't even know they are missing it.

Do I sit at home and watch this rad show on Fridays? Not usually. But I do watch it on Saturday on Hulu.com, which also counts to their ratings.

Show? Show? What show. Dollhouse.

It's smart. It's witty. It's chock full of moral dilemmas and fun banter and oh so pretty people. Watching it makes me want to work out and be my best. Watching it also makes me want to get super smart and learn how to wipe people's brains clean and insert other personalities and abilities like kung fu or how to make creme brulee. Or both. Who knows when you need a specific skill. I'm just saying.

see? pretty.

In the crowd, there was vibe

Last night, I went to the Great American Music Hall and saw a completely rad show. Both opener and headliner enthralled me; I didn't even get sleepy despite it being a school night. Arrived early to catch Yeasayer, stayed late to see Man Man. If you can imagine indie hipster going tribal, that was the vibe of the evening. The best thing about Man Man was that they seemed totally haphazard, as if they were just a bunch of guys that came upon all these instruments on a stage (keys, guitar, one of those piano flute things, tons of drums) and just decided to mess around a make music....and the music just happened to sound amazing. Couldn't help but shake it, stomp the feet.

Pitchfork media has a new video division. They did a 7-ish-minute piece called "Man Man: In the Studio." The clip gives a good idea of what the dudes and their music are like. Pretty freakin' cool:

Here Here!

(wish I'd had a 2.5 f-stop, sigh.)

Rad show. Christian and the rest of the band were fantastic, were climactic, and were smooth. Crowd was definitely into it, people bopping and nodding and toe-tapping. So into it, I even forgot about the photo booth for a bit.

But then I remembered....

Those Kids Outside

John Beatty is a good human. A selfless act in the suicide lane of the Golden Gate Bridge is a big deal.

Going to see Here Here tonight. 9pm at the Knockout in SF. Music is awesome AND there is a photo booth. :) Get off your duff and be there.

no shutter snapped

Brian's birthday soirée was Friday night; we all bedazzled ourselves, drank fancy mojitos and nibbled on hors d'oeuvres. happy 29th! I took no photos, so I have to post a recent beautiful gem of the birthday boy:Saturday saw me at the Rickshaw Stop with some peeps watching Triple Cobra play. Super Rad. The Binges opened for them and I think I fell a little in love. Glitter, glam, rock n' roll, and somewhere amidst the confetti, we didn't quite notice how strong they serve the drinks there. No pics this night either (I'm sorry, but the digi SLR doesn't fit in my fashionable clutch), but here's the art for the night:
