take the long way home

greenspun.com : LUSENET : It's All About Joe 90: The Discussion Board : One Thread

hi all. i'm back from NC. i know i didn't mention that i was going. but that's only because someone (jill) insisted that it be a big secret so that we could surprise the band. (like my being at a show would surprise anyone at this point.) but i was a good friend and kept my mouth shut. funny thing is someone (jill) was running around telling everyone that we were going to be there anyway.

the show was great. it should have been longer. but i always think that. i can't remember the setlist. i know they played blurred and ferris wheel (we did the yell and scared the crap out of the people standing in front of us) and such is life (beautiful, beautiful song. i need to have a copy of that.) and when you arrive and drive and disco lift me up (which jill didn't like, but i did). i know i'm missing some. erica got it all on tape so she fill in what i've forgotten.

it was great to meet erica finally. she's very, very nice. and a lot of fun. i told her we'd end up at the same show eventually. but she didn't believe me. see erica? i'm always right.

ziggys was a neat place for a show. though there was this weirdly obscene painting on the wall that i was just fascinated by. there was a lot going on in it. and i don't think i quite understood all of it. i was also fascintated by all the "POD" stickers that were stuck on the wall above the stage. i'm easily distracted.

it was my first time seeing cracker. they were good. i wouldn't have been heartbroken if they had not played quite so long though. i thought i was just going to fall over at one point. david lowery looks like robin williams playing popeye.

oh, the new joe90 tshirts are very cool. i liked them a lot. i hope someday they carry them in adult sizes too so that i can buy one.

i'm very tired. and i know i'm forgetting stuff. barb and i saw tom. he looked happy and well. i like his pierced ear.

the motel i booked was right next to a gentlemans club. this is becoming a theme with me. we all have our talents. i guess mine is picking motels. we kept getting weird stares from other people staying at the motel. erica stopped by my room when she got there. and we ended up sitting on the beds talking forever. but neither of us bothered to shut the door to the room. and some guy kept circling in his car staring up at us. i was going to flash him the next time he came around, but then he stopped.

it was wonderful traveling in my new car (i've had it 8 days and already put 1900 miles on it. yikes). barb, jill and erica got to ride in it. oh, and jill's friend jess, too. i was forcing everyone to admire it. i love my new car. it's so beautiful. it was so nice not to drive in fear. and have i mentioned it has a cd player?

ok. now i'm just rambling. so i'll end. i hope barb and jill made it home safely. they had a longass drive yesterday.

and i know it's a little late, and i got to say it in person, but i feel a need to post it on the board too.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG!!!!!!!! hope you have a fantastic year and thank you for playing for us on your birthday.

I stayed up last night to write a review..but then i ended up calling kelly and we talked about the show for 3 hours...after that i felt like i had nothing to say....and i was actually falling asleep on the keyboard...i had to get some sleep!! I am so glad that you were right about us meeting up...i had so much fun with you guys!! We will have to do it again. I got the pictures last night..they are cute.

i just remembered... they also played flatline static. for craig's birthday.

and erica has a beautiful new car too. it's the prettiest spring green. it suits her.

and erica i would LOVE copies of any of your pictures. i really hate taking pictures at shows. because it takes me out of the moment. but then i love to have pictures to look at afterwards. because it takes me back.
