gifts from the *oh my gawds*
I was STOKED to get a few very *AWESOME* gifts lastnight...Ya know how I posted about those Vinyl CD-R's? Well, I was surprised lastnight with a whole set! wahooo!! Not to mention the new Mando Diao CD and Ted Leo, too! Damn.... Life is so so good. :)
Lastnight's BAM meeting went great - we had a sushi rolling party!! I did a huge shopping spree at Sunset Market in Irving and got us lots of fresh tuna, seaweed, cucumber, avocado, miso soup and more! We even had edamame, too! I thought the rice came out horribly myself (toooo sticky), but they all loved it so much! yay!! It was a total hit - and now I can't wait to make it again as no doubt I'll be better than lastnight. Any respectable sushi lover would have laughed at mine big time! But thats kinda the cool thing about sushi - it's hard to mess it up & it's still so tasty!
Afterwards we hit the Hizz (?) for Dealership. Jee, Berndt, MJ, Rick & I all went to check em out. We know Chris & Jane - and I had seen Chris play in his other band, Citizens Here & Abroad, but hadn't yet seen this one, with Jane as the lead singer. It was good, but different than I expected - I think I thought Jane was much more of a front woman in it - louder w/ more presence - but instead Chris Groves (the other lead singer, also in Citizens) really was more the front man. But Jee said Jane wasn't feeling that well after just getting back from NYC... so it's possible that another show would be different.
The Like Young opened and they were really good & so cute! A couple - the guy was the lead guitar/singer and the girl was backup & BANGED on the drums somethin fierce! It was fun.
Alright.... I'm off to take a walk now & hit the P.O. before 5pm (hoping I don't freeze on the way over there). Then I'm off to the first Halloween party of the weekend. Well not sure what I'm doing tomorrow night actually.. part of me wants to bag all the hurry-think-of-a-costume-quick-and-then-go-to-a-party-only-to-deal-with-mass-crowds-of-crazy-people and just go to a movie instead.
But tonite should be fun... Kat & I are finally meeting Jason! It's about time! :)
