stage what?

what do you have to do to get someone's home phone number? sometimes nothing is enough-- not a bared soul or ass. not the biggest deal, really, so why does it have to be? it just hurts my feelings.

what does it take to hang with pals these days? an application form, in a .pdf file or something?

what does it take to enjoy a good rock show? just three good bands, or perhaps only one, but three helps hit it home--and a few familiar faces to help lose you in the crowd.

an excerpt from correspondence, used in laziness:

and i just returned from stage 9, which was great. it's a great venue, which you should check out. the three bands were awesome. B.A. Johnson, who loves his crowd so much that he moved here, is a great casio-keyboard-- solo guitarist, is a funny SHOTGUN FACE-- brian lingesque-kinda guy, sings about about his neighbours fucking to moist and our lady peace (by the way, after i got done talking to you last night, the upstairs neighbours fucked like crazy animals and i wanted to also) and how lame that is. and then there was immaculate machine, from victoria, who were a rawkin' threepiece who've played here before, and love it here and are awesome and the drummer had long blond hair and played with his shirt off and had a tattoo of a crow on the middle of his chest and wow! they made me want to play drums again. i want to be in a band again. there are a few cats around in the same position as me-- want to play, but need a lot of practise. speaking of which, i met up with one tonight, a girl from the superstore, a pharmacist who likes indie rock and metal. we should go to shows together. maybe we will. i met her at a conference once. and the third band is my friend seth's band, the burdocks. i got to explain to some out of town kids what burdocks were. the band is always great. stage 9 was packed with like 30 of greg's architecture friends who are good cats, and it was nice to see them. i decided to rock out mostly, and dance in lieu of academic conversation (hey, it's not my discipline, i can only keep pace for so long). lots of familiar faces there. i could've gone on my own. i will remember for next time. i had 6 six ginapples and have a bit of a headache in the front of my head which i hope to remedy with kamut bread, water, chocolate, and vitamins.
