Weekend update

I was going to go out of town for the weekend. The forecast in the paper showed five days of gray clouds and I was hoping to remind myself of what a sunny day looked like. But then I noticed the headline “Caltrans aims for I-5 fixes by Monday” and realized heading over the grapevine right now may not be the best idea. Then I got to work and saw this article, which made me rethink my plans all over again. If Monday is going to be the worst day ever, shouldn’t I try to lessen the blow by having a good weekend?

After many hours of deliberation I have come to the conclusion that another visit to Bill Lee’s would be sufficient to improve my attitude. A couple of those Mai Tais and the world becomes a more beautiful place. Tomorrow night I plan on going to see The Flithies. I know absolutely nothing about the band, but I dig the name and since that’s also the way I pick my ponies, I figured it’s worth a shot. Which reminds me… I used the same logic to boycott another local band. They call themselves Throat Shot. cough

Looking for stuff to do to keep my mind off of the fact that I will be remaining in town, I learned (thanks to JR) that The Pervs and The Needles are playing at Narducci’s. I like Narducci’s. It’s a good venue to see a band, the bar is cool, old-school style, and the drinks are strong and cheap (Bako style.) I will have to remember to be careful, however, because the BPD are going to be setting up a sobriety checkpoint tonight.

p.s. Scroll down to the post from Wednesday, January 12, 2005 that begins "and now a quick update from our very own fashion guru/shaman..." for a good laugh. This will only be funny to people who knew me in my former life.
