quick notes
Last night, checked out Citay at Belvedere’s, which both of the readers of my FFW>> blog on the CP site knew about. Good show — they’re supposedly a 9-piece on record, but there were six on tour. They sounded full and beautiful; twin lead guitar is one of their “things.” They make very pretty songs.
Next up is another California band, Howlin Rain, playing at the Pub on Saturday night. I interviewed Ethan (also of Comets on Fire) and hastily threw together this article for the paper. Also for this week, I wrote this about Audrey Chen and Frederic Blondy. I apologize to my middle school music teacher for my having made an example of her; she was never so rude as to do the same to me.
Elsewise, there are plans afoot to go to the dog show on Saturday. Last year it was fun, but I’m hoping we’ll catch more of the agility trials this year. I can’t lie; I prefer dogs when they’re running around like maniacs.
Also, there was a frightening moment early this week in the P-G when Steve Massey casually threatened to axe MARY WORTH, REX MORGAN, AND/OR SPIDER-MAN! Tell him that he can take Cathy, but leave the boring cartoons that are hilarious in their boringness. What heresy.
Ah ha! So you DO prefer hyper dogs! No longer will I calm Heisa in your presence. Nope. Never again!
damn! i wish i had known about this dog show! i have been trying to get to the ridiculous dog events they have periodically at North Park since i moved here. especially the halloween one, because what’s better than hyper dogs in costumes? i would give a finger to see one of those competitions where dogs are jumping off of docks into lakes. but competitive frisbee fetching would suffice.
