We went out for all American burgers and beers before Mike took off for Spain. I got my bike fixed and the bike dude confirmed it is a lemon, he gave it a “stop and go” tune-up… we will see how long it goes. I baked brownies. Friday night I went to see a couple bands, DMBQ and Lightning Bolt. DMBQ is from Japane and they are absolutely nuts. We determined that they watch concert videos on fast forward and just do the rocking parts. These dudes were kicking and putting guitars in there mouths and standing on top of things from the beginning. There was rock, smoke machining, and at one point the lead singer was walking on the crowd’s hands (like crowdsurfing, but standing up), then he gets back on the stage and throws the drum kit into the crowd and everyone is pounding on it and passing it all about. The drums get put stacked back on stage, and the cymbal gets tossed out and the drummer follows, she is banging on the freaking thing while being passed around the crowd. Shit man. So she gets back on stage and the whole drum kit is stacked up on the stage teeting and balanced somehow. Singer makes a “part the crowd” motion with his hands and pushes all the damn drums onto the floor. They were crazy. After that I went out for a few beers and shot some stick.

Saturday I only got out of bed for food and to rent Pootie Tang, it was raining and it seemed like the thing to do. Last night I went to Karyn’s new apartment and helped her paint it bright yellow. She has a nice little neighborhood, and her apartment doesn’t seem to leak like ours does. We walked down to Sandy’s house for some dinner. Little sandwiches, good soup, asparagus, salad and creme brule. (I am not even sure how that is spelled, I’ve never had it before. It tastes good.) We went to a cool bar but I was so beat and a little drunk from paint fumes and beers we left around midnight. I had to get up for work today anyhow. I had pizza for lunch today.
