my opinion that it is the absolute truth that belle & sebastian is in fact, the best band in the world, was validated once again last night. who else rocks so hard with a string quartet, french horn, trumpet, harpsichord, organ, piano, vibraphone...and the other obligatory rock band instruments?

are you going to see deathcab the 23th?

[wordstonowhere]

isn't it tomorrow, and the next day?
i would love to..especially to the show on tuesday because the thermals open up for them. but, i live 2.5 hours north and i work at a magazine with deadlines on those days, so. are you?
are you in vacaville? i have a good friend who is from there...elias perez. he's got some younger sisters, i can't think of their names...
and corey bloom and paul davis?

[coeur_rouge]

i live in napa, but i grew up in vacaville. i don't think i know those people. but oops, it is the 3rd! we are so close.. we should eat food together sometime

[wordstonowhere]

we should. maybe when i move to sf in july...because now i'm in chico, that's still pretty far from napa.

i got the red t-shirt with the face profiles. did you get a shirt? i was soakedly upset with the lack of other goodies.

i drank sierra nevada beer. someone has to keep it real.

the show was awesome, yes. there isn't a bad seat at that place. there is a bad arm-rest, however, and it was mine. the wooden board had been stripped off leaving two metal pointy things poking me all during the show. i was bummed out before the show began, so i think i just wasn't in the right mood for the show.

they did rock it up pretty well. i thought of you when they played "i'm a cuckoo" and said to myself, "lania doesn't like this song. what's wrong with that girl?!"

nice pictures ;)

i didn't get any merch...by the time we got up there all the small sizes were sold.
i won't drink sierra nevada unless it's best bitter or wheat, and barely anywhere out of chico has that on tap. i don't represent! pale ale tastes like ass. i brought in a 5th of jack daniels and janet brought in a 5th of smirnoff. my purse is deep and holds all kinds of secret stuff. so then we just get a soda or juice and mix that shit in the bathroom. i refuse to pay $7 for a 4oz drink.
yeah, i cringed when they played that song. but they played stay loose. that was dance-partified. we had one going on in the right corner by the speaker.

so I thought I was funny but apparently not, cos my review ended with .... "'Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying' summed up a show of catchy tunes and winning smiles. Luckily, B&S do stand a chance...." like in the song, ya know?

lyrics here

but your editor took out the last line, guess they didn't think my pun was funny. haha. oh well. can we be a show reviewing duo for your magazine and get in for free? I'll write and you take pictures?

nice pictures, btw.

hah, yeah, sometimes they butcher reviews. i changed it back to the way you had it. OBVIOUSLY they aren't b&s fans so didn't know what you were referring to.

[kseny]

that's so great that you have access to the source code.... can you take out the comma after "the Velvet Underground's", too? I love it.

thanks dude!

done!
yeah, our back end is really easy to use. our tech dude built it with php...which makes it, user-friendly? i'm going to stop talking about tech and code right now because i don't know enough to talk about it and i'm going to sound like an idiot.
