Russian Circles tonight at the Double Door, 9pm-ish. And it's free even. I'm going to go if I can keep the crippling depression at bay and actually leave the house.
This one's for you Greg
I was thinking about this show this week.
But I just figured you'd flaked out on the idea. And now I sit here after just getting home from Chicago a half hour ago drowning in snot.
You with your crippling depression and me with my snot...would've been a good time.
If I'm not as sick as I am now, and either you or that pig Josh don't have plans, I would maybe go to tomorrow night's Shellac show at the Hideout.
It sucks though because I'd rather go to this show as I've seen Shellac numerous times.
I actually went
And it was surprisingly packed to capacity. It was fantastic, but I swear they only played 5 songs. That was a little disappointing. At one point 2 separate people around us said, "When are they going to start singing?" That made my night. There were a lot of Wicker Park yuppies who decided to check it out because it was free. When I went to the bathroom one of them decided to hit on my friend by asking her for some gum and then forced her into some banal conversation about LCD Soundsystem. I successfully cockblocked because the guy looked like a financial analyst and I just couldn't let her misery continue. I wish I could get paid to cockblock - I'm pretty good at it. My college friends didn't call me "birth control" for nothing.
Isn't Shellac sold out for all 6 or so nights? I can't even keep up. I've also seen them multiple times and kind of don't care anymore. There are a couple of art openings that I have plans to attend instead.
