Not so great news from work today (but not horrible) has gotten me to Boodles martini number two. I may very well be in the "Who's drunk" thread later.
I did not have tickets to see Kaki King, but will look for the reschedule. Zoe is doing a solo show May 17th at SPACE in Evanston that we have tickets for.
Tonight we saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Wow.
Just
Fucking
Wow.
I am literally left speechless. If you have the chance, see them. You will not regret it. I bought tickets from StubHub and do not regret what I paid for them at all. What an intense group of musicians.
Just got back from seeing the California Guitar Trio with Fareed Haque at the Old Town School of Music. Excellent show and they had bottles of FFF Pride and Joy as well. Tomorrow night is GYBE.
Damn Al, that majorly fucking blows. I loved that patio area and am having a big sad that you have to deal with it covered in mud. So with that said, I dedicate this night's drinking to you. Right now, that's a Bluecoat martini.
