Gregg Gillis

i had a dream last night that i swallowed a high heel and then gave birth to it. my friends have decided that, after falling in love with girl talk last night, it means i'm going to have a glamorous baby with gregg gillis. okay okay, i did touch his arm and spent much of the time on stage (he is known for having people dancing up on stage with him).

Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis) and his laptop were on fire last night. the Fillmore was sold out and filled with dance-crazed, happy, trendy people... I did not see one girl in heels either. (which makes my dream even weirder) he mixed rock with hiphop with pop with rap, from kelly clarkson to daft punk... i need to start drinking less at shows so i can give a good example. basically, i was behind the game with Girl Talk, and just recently got into him.. i heard a few samples online (last.fm, the BEST place to hear music before you buy it on Itunes, and a great link to upcoming shows and tickets) but this is the kind of music where you have to be there for the whole experience. i'm looking forward to hearing about the show tonight (also at the fillmore, also sold out, not many scalpers last night).. much props to the openers too... all around a great weeknight, and i was in bed by 2am (i had to watch my favorite show before falling asleep)


best part of the night: touching his arm and watching him sway his sweaty long hair to the music. oh, and the long island iced teas are super strong.

worst part: taco bell was closed after the show at 11:30pm (geary and steiner, in case you have the same cravings as me)

You're moving to Canada? Oh, I'm becoming a band-aid

This is the best time to be a bandaid.

1. thank god for music downloading. i don't fall into the music pirating group, i sure do feel like i'm benefiting from it-- every band is on tour. THANK GOD i am irresponsible and spend all my money on shows and booze rather than food and outstanding parking tickets.

2. the recession makes everyone afraid of losing their jobs and the election next week is even scarier. i'm not scared, if i lose my job or if that troll gets elected then i'll just go follow some band around. why not?

i should have started this weeks ago... in case you didn't catch kings of leon last week, they were incredible. besides the nose-ringed, badass girl next to us who said "will you stop RUBBING me?", the light show was mezmerizing, and when they played Knocked Up during the encore i think i got the chills for the whole 7 minutes. see you tomorrow, just got home from girl talk.
