Great weekend, bad morning
I had a great weekend, only to be greeted by some seriously bad feng shui at my new desk. Damn it. Plus, I didn’t get home until 2am this morning and had to get up at 6am to get to work. Oh yeah.
But here’s weekend recap:
Friday - Kazandra in town, we went to Blue Lotus Lounge for a mellow night. Had the Tears of the Prophet cocktail - pomegranate juice and Absolut mandrin. We just gabbed on forever and went home relatively early.
Saturday - Greg in town, met him for coffee. Went shopping with my mom and bought fabulous shoes. Then to Kazandra’s parents for a BBQ, where I proceeded to get everyone drunk with my mad bartender skills. (Margaritas on the rocks, oh yeah.)
Sunday - got a really good 3.5 mile walk in, hung out with Kazandra, and then the FM 94/9’s show - Secret Machines, Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, Franz Ferdinand, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Joe and I went to Gordon Biersch before the show to have a beer.
Then on to the show. Everybody and their mother from the station was there. We ran into BSC Heather first and then Jeremy. So we all hung out for a bit during Secret Machines. Then I went down to my seat for Death Cab. Good seat in the middle section on the left side of the stage. They had a good set, but I wanted to hear "Tiny Vessels". Sigh.
Muse was incredible. They sounded great. They were definitely the highlight of the show. Franz Ferdinand was also incredible. They ended their set with "Darts of Pleasure", which is my fave song from them. The Yeah Yeah yeahs were a disappointment. That's all I'll say about that.
After the show, I went to both after parties. Started at Big Sonic Chill and got to catch up with Tony from promotions. Also spoke to Ryan briefly before heading to the Casbah.
Everyone from the station was at the Casbah. So that was all about Jager shots, cigars, and general debauchery. I had a really good convo with Garett. And I got to spend more time with Jeremy, which was also very cool.
I think that's about it for now. I just found out I can move to a bigger cubicle, so I am going to see about that now.
