So on the last Monday of Sept. I finally made it back in the money at the old Ad Biz poker night. How it happened, you might ask? I probably played tighter than usual and then got lucky somewhere towards the middle, and the end, then got cocky and lost to Paul for 2nd place taking in a nice 80 beans. Yup, that’s probably what happened but who can remember these things anyway?
That Tuesday, the office got a delicious cate surprise. Special guests Garza and the elder Ryang illuminated us with their presence.
And the Cate Connection surprisingly did not stop there. Later on that night, continuing the glorious concert week with an Of Montreal evening, who was at the door but Ms Meredith S.
Slinging Wired promotional material. Crazy pequena coincidencia.
The scholastic tie ins did not stop there, it turns out good old Josh G. made it to the concert as well.
Since it was a Wired sponsored even for some tech convention, they had some cool shit, like this device that shines a special sort of light that makes your veins pop out.
Then the show began, the very androgynous Of Montreal all came out wearing these huge masks.
The lead singer wore this frilly shirt, while the guitarist sported a skirt.
Then a man in an 18th Century wig came out and they tied up the lead singer.
And next thing you know, he’s down to some tiny daisy dukes.
One of my favorite parts came at the costume change, when the band kept the mood going by playing the Os Mutantes classic “Ba Ba Cumba O Hey”
Wait, stop the presses, is that David Byrne?
Why so it is… and to think I didn’t have the balls to take a picture with him.
But the show did not end there, either, the gold coated Jamie Lidell took the stage.
Solo. He is a one man looping machine with an incredibly soulful voice. You probably should not miss it.
Josh then somehow scored a VIP pass (he said a drunken person leaving dontated it to the cause, but we have theories of sexual favors).
And who did we find but fellow eclictite Ben in the crowd.
In the end, who looks cuter in the T Shirt? I think we all know the answer to that.
