I'm almost to the point that I may have too much on my plate. Well, maybe not yet, but I honestly shouldn't tack on any more responsibilites or extracurricular activities. I probably should take inventory in all I do and try to streamline and stop doing stuff that isn't really worth my time. But, we'll see..this just could have been a real rough 2 weeks and it will all even out and all will be fine.
so..maybe no 319 reviews fpr now. i'm sure no one will notice, just keep looking for what mr chin and mr shin write. I don't pay attention too much, but maybe you will.
oh yeah, the get up kids.. it was a cool happenstance event. upon a whim mr.chin and my self decide to eat at the westport flea market (it is good, trust me) and lo and behold who is standing outside of the burger joint? none other than James Dewees (keyboards) and Brian Suptic (guitar) of the Get Up Kids! I was pretty excited and happy that I got to talk to some of the musicians that I just adore. say all you want on how they have gotten too big bla bla bla, they still write good music and are just as friendly and down to earth as they were years ago. so, big props to the get up kids, I can't wait for the new album.
80's night at shattered was fun. It was a strange mix of a crowd though, but very refreshing. There was not one visible sign of greek life there, and for that I was happy. nothing against greek life (i think) but I think the shattered crew and greek life can do well without eachother. The whole crowd was diverse with b-boys and girls dancing next to typical indie rock kids, next to goth-ish bahaus and cure fans, throw in a few 80's punks and a few rockabilly's... you have yourself a good time. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a problem with a non-traditional crowd and a love for 80's music. the old duran duran, pixies and smiths was excellent, but the real highlight for me was ac/dc's "shook me all night long" not very danceable, but with alcohol..anything is possible.
anyway, i should get some sleep... if I ever write something interesting i'll try to post it.
