lastnight's show
So lastnight Rick didn't have his guitar lesson after all, so I went & picked him up a little early and we decided to hit Chow for dinner before the show. If you don't live in SF, I'll tell you now, Chow (near the Castro) and Park Chow (out by GG Park) are AWESOME restaurants. I was craving some yummy salmon and mashed potatoes (possibly my favorite. dish. ever.) and Rick had never even been (gasp!) so it was perfect.We ran into some friends of his there which was cool. These 4 cutie girls who were his ex-roomates (1 was, the rest were basically roomates cuz they were her friends & there all the time) and are still party buddies that we're gonna match up & hit Coachella with in May. woohoo!! I'm looking forward to that!
OK so, we eat (my dinner was *yumm* and Rick had these pork chops that were MELT in your mouth yumm), but after parking & waiting we were running a little late for the show, but luckily we cruised into the BoTH just in time before The Husbands went on. phew!
The Husbands were really fun to see live... totally rough sound, I liked it. Only one guitar, played by the lead singer who has this really funky voice & kinda yells and it was good fun. They've got a little of that 50's/60's girls band w/ a tough garage edge goin on... and they all wore funky fancy party dresses that looked great with their normal shoes & tatoos and the lead singer girl's missing tooth. (WT is cooL! ha!) They had some fun drum beats. Not only a drummer, but a big ol' drum up front that just made the beats stronger as the back up singers oohed & aahed. Good fun.
Comets on Fire went on next & didn't do it for us at all... they were loud, which is fine & good 'n all.. but a little too psychadelic for us. So we actually waited it out but near the end of their set we decided to just call it a night and left before Dead Moon came on. Between my cold and Rick getting no sleep the night before, we were wiped out. (wah, I know) It's not like us... but oh well... we really just bought the tix to see The Husbands play anyway, which was fuN!

I decided to not go down to see my bro today after all. I had an appt this afternoon that woulda kicked me straight into rush hour traffic on the way down there - not good! Plus, it will be better when I'm not hacking and sniffly and stuff.
