Busy weekend



Actually doing shit this weekend, which is a nice change from my usual routine of drinking lots of coffee and bitching about life. Last night I went to see I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness and Mission of Burma at Emo's. I was hanging out with my friend Christina, and we started at the Side Bar (where they were showing Grosse Point Blank, which was awesome.) Then we actually went to the show, which was a lot of fun despite the $15 cover. I love you but was really cool (though a bit shoegazer) and Mission was unreal. Despite the overall simplicity of their arrangements and instrumentation, they managed to create a very evocative series of songs.

Tonight was bowling and dinner with my friend Chrissy. We went to Dart Bowl, where I won two out of three games. We ended up with a lane next to a large group (I think a family) of the most enthusiastic bowlers I have ever seen. Needless to say, the Big Lebowski references flowed like water, though we stopped short of ordering white Russians. Then we went to buffet palace, but not the good one, the bad one on Anderson.
