assorted pieces of random gobbledygook

I usually have no problems with jet lag at all. Yesterday however it dawned on me that the lack of sleep on the flight would probably require a serious afternoon nap with me awakening at 5am the next morning.

So rather than giving in to the temptation I scoured the web for some local band to go to and settled for Condor/Elephone/Boyskout. Being able to listen in to some mp3s of Boyskout on their web site really helped making that decision. Although Groove Rider was playing the same night I figured that if I really want to see him spinning records I can probably do that anytime I am in the U.K. again.

Three hours of sleep later and one hour late for the show I hauled a cab to the Bottom of the Hill. I missed some band called Condor, but the next two bands, Elephone and Boyskout were pretty good. I actually liked Boyskout a LOT, but I frigging forgot buying one of their CDs. The guy manning the merchandise counter didn’t really know how much to charge for it and started picking a random number out of his nose so I told him I’d wait till his buddy selling the Boyskout merch would come back and then buy from him; which I unfortunately forgot. Sigh. Whatever. So I ran into this guy Carey who invited me to a party on Saturday where he’d be spinning records. Let’s see what that’s about.

Later on I headed to some dive called the Delirium in the Mission district. Not bad, but man… Why the hell do they have to shut all places down on 2am on a Thursday night???

Just having finished my coffee I’ll now head out to StudioZ. According to their website it’s next door to the Paradise Lounge; so I should know where that is. Pics of yesterday should be up on flickr soonish… if they’re any good, I haven’t really checked them yet.
