DFiVE9 is playing at the Satyricon on Saturday.
Hotboxed is playing at the Paris tonight.

My car lost an important component to its overall function: the air in the passenger side front tire.
Subaru makes a great car but a shitty jack. Had to call AAA and wait for a tow truck to come... "between 30 and 45 minutes" from when I made the call.

Dispatcher: "Are you in a safe place?"
Me: "If I'm not, will it make the tow truck come any fucking faster?"

Actually, the tow truck came out pretty quickly. Now I've got one of those goofy "doughnut" wheels on my car. The damaged tire/wheel is in my passenger seat, wrapped in a seat belt. Big speaker boxes in the trunk are really cool until you realize that your spare tire is underneath that audio monstrosity.

Shit.

Word. As a reminder, you should always scroll down to read the logs in their entirety because every goddamned thing I have to say is important. Had an interesting evening last night. I'm trying to sort out the events in my head. It's a blur. I remember when I could go out three to four nights a week... inject domestic light beer directly into my jugular, then wake up at 5am the next morning to go to the gym before I went to work. I think I had two beers last night and by 10pm I was ready to take a nap. Dammit I'm old. There's good column material from last night, so hopefully I'll make the most of it. Also... SIGN THE GUESTBOOK. I've been tracking you people... People from foreign countries like Iowa are checking out this site. Let me know what you think. After all, I'm doing this for you, you wretched schmucks.

My weekend kicked ass (get ready for a lot of bolds and links).

Friday: Probably THE best lineup and performance I've ever witnessed at the Paris Theater (since DeadRedHead) occured on 11/2. Dualesc, Nihilist, Tenfold, and SYX put on an incredible show. Syx was joined on stage for their last song by some members of TV:616. Also at the Paris, I met Max and Cari, two of the onl- I mean biggest fans of this site. I also got to hang out with Adam Hubka of Dualesc, who also has a side project: Norwegian Doorway Goats. Dualesc also has an unofficial website hosted by Megan, friend of the band.

This log sounds like an entry out of Positively Entertainment, doesn't it? I need a shower.

Saturday: Equally a triumphant evening which included my stage debut as the visual effects coordinator (okay... I worked the light-switch board) for the band Perfect in Plastic. I was in full rock-star regalia, as my friend YMike would say. My mid-day nap worked against me as I slept through the Kickass Martians set, which I'll have a hard time forgiving myself for (PiP would have had a hard time forgiving me also if I was any later to the show than I was). I did get to hang out with the KAM for a while, which was cool. Check out their website for a free CD. Wrapping up the evening was Anger Management, one of the greatest bands in Portland.

Thursday, November 1st was my good friend John Barr's birthday. Happy birthday, bro.
