Walk The Sis Lou…
Well, after a very busy week finishing the NBA Finals promos, I found myself at John’s.
I didn’t feel like going to the Walkmen concert I had tickets to, and almost didn’t make it, only to have josh call me back and remind me that I probably did not, in retrospective truth, want to miss this. So he was right, and I made the trek all the way back down.
And hit up what ended up being a 180 from the Pinback concert, a terrific showing by this genre twisting band.
Is it nouveau Dylan? angst rock? Marichi fusion? Who needs labels when its all good.
You know what im saying.
Just solid tight performance.
A show that left us both speechless. And, as I was taking some video with my still cam (the second song I took that night) a bouncer almost ripped my hand off as he yanked the camera away. He was going to kick me out, and I tried to slip the canon back in its sheath only to have him tighten the deathgrip on my thumb. “listen buddy, be a man about this, we have to delete the video.” I understood that I did not want to fuck with this 300 pound behemoth, and I actually erased both songs. I maybe could have gotten away with erasing just one, but he let go of my hand in an honor testing way and I am not one to disappoint when it comes to these sorts of stepping up to be honest sort of things. When i showed him that respect, he allowed me to keep my camera and stay till the end of the show. so in a way, its a win win.
Then, in the midst of trying to get ready for a ten day workathon in Prague, Louie came to town (he’s mixing and mastering the new album), so I had to fit him in a tight schedule at the office.
Fortunately he came up to the PS and I got to show off the dope digs, even catching ourselves in full empiric glory.
At night, we met up with even more stephens’.
And though lou had to go to meet his girl,
It was fun to chill linder’s style and catch up with old goings on.
So now, off to Prague.
I don’t know how the internet will be out there, so it might be a bit until I come back with the dope Czech post. The only rightful way to leave you, I guess, is with the two awesome buildings that frame my work world.
