the gossip
No, I don't have any gossip for you. I'm talking about the band we tried to go see lastnight, The Gossip. Unfortunately we stood in line for awhile at Bottom of the Hill, all to find out the show was sold out and all the people standing there were just waiting to see if they'd release more tickets. note to self: always pre-buy tickets! even though it's a tuesday night, this is san francisco where tons of people go to shows all the time! It was a really young group... lots of young punk girls with their girlfriends. Hai & I decided we weren't that die hard & went down the street to get a beer at the Conneticut Yankee.I have met Hai a couple times, but only really got to know him & remember him from happy hour a couple weeks ago. He was very funny and our friend Stig couldn't say enough great things about him and his girlfriend Sheri. Lastnight I got to know him a little bit better. It was fun to sit down w/ someone & chat about music, books, old friends and relationships, all over a beer & a "ty cobb salad". I'm psyched to have another music buddy to hit live shows with, since all the rest of you couldn't join me!! sha!
Before meeting up w/ Hai I went to the SFMMUF meeting. They went over Macromedia's new product Contribute - and (the reason why I was there) Eric Natzke spoke at the end. He's so AMAZING!!! Damn does his work just totally get me going. oy!
Over pizza I talked to this guy who remembered meeting me at Flash Forward '02. I was psyched he knew where we'd met cuz I knew he looked familiar - but I was worried we'd have to go through years of our lives, where we worked and where we lived to find out how he looked familiar. But he knew and impressively even knew my name (!) so it all worked out. We had planned to exchange info at the end of the meeting, but I had to skip out early to meet Hai. I'm sure I'll see him at the next meeting, cuz Josh Ulm is speaking!
