I had every intention of writing yesterday. In fact, I began writing a nice, lengthy post on my Treo and tried submitting it.
The submission failed, for whatever reason.
And, of course, all that painful-to-type text was gone. At that point I just couldn't be bothered. But enough of that; I'm on a computer now and it's my lunch time.
Lunch came early today. Yes, that's sad.
On Wednesday I scored some last-minute tickets to see Amina and Sigur Rós at the Hollywood Bowl. I was lucky enough to enjoy what was the absolute greatest concert I've ever had the privilage of attending.
Ever.
Tiffany was kind enough to accompany me so I didn't have to trip balls alone.
When it comes to rock shows, the Hollywood Bowl isn't necessarily known for it's sound. During that show, however, I was engulfed in music. Sigur Rós had some speakers set up in the back of the venue which allowed for some amazing surround-sound effects. I hope to hear more of this at future concerts.
Their visuals were also amazing. Very subtle and simple, but so very perfect. The sky was crisp and the air was temperate; it was almost as if they had composed the weather themselves.
Toward the end of the set, I was completely taken. At one point it began to feel as thought everyone in the theatre had simply vanished and I was left alone in my seat with Sigur Rós performing only for me. It was incredible.
How very "American Beauty".
"It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain."
Last night I met up with Ryan from Modest Proposal at Lucky Baldwin's Pub in Pasadena to discuss the whole MySpace fiasco. I introduced him to Westmalle Trippel and the absolute best Fish & Chips I've ever had—which is saying a lot considering I'm not the biggest fan of seafood.
A few beers later we got down to business. I think it was a lot to take in, 'cause when we were done he said "wow" a few times… and I'm pretty sure he wasn't looking at my wang.
While making our way out of Pasadena, we took a wrong turn. It ended up being a pleasant mistake, though—we turned onto Fremont which is very close to JP and Brandon's place. We headed over there to play We ♥ Katamari and Burnout Revenge with Brandon and to drink more beer.
Pabst Genuine Draft is surprisingly good, especially when you factor in the price.
8-Bit are playing tonight at Mr. T's Bowl. I'm not positive if I'm gonna go, although I'm sure I most likely will. I didn't get a chance to shower this morning or change (except for my shirt), so I'm feeling quite craptacular right now. Maybe if I can sneak a ride home to shower and change I'll feel better about going out.
It is 8-Bit, afterall.
