after years of thwarted attempts i finally got to see the Jealous Sound and not just once but twice. the first was this past sunday in san fransico at slim's. blair was starting to get a little horse about half way threw the set but any complications that might have been there where covered by the fact that i was actually getting to see them with little effort on my part to get around the usual last minute road blocks that have kept me from the last five shows i have made plans to go to. also the fact that i* fell in love with the increadibly cute waitress we had probabl didn't hurt the over all feel of the evening. the second was the next night, this past monday at the boardwalk in Sac. it was a last minute decision to go but the fact that i haven't been to a show in so damn long and the fact that i could see the jealous sound again where deciding factors. so the hall made a last minute rush to the club and got there right as the band was staring their sound check for their set. we watched, blair's voice was all but gone. it was so much worse than the night before but the rest of the sound was fantastic. all the volumes where just right so everything was together and clear and not drowned out by anything else. that was really impressive, i dare say it was the best sound i've heard in such a small place. ...everything but the lead vocal that is, but he gets points for the effort because he took one for the team and wasn't a cry baby about it. it was admirable. we left. quite frankly i was unimpressed with all five notes i bothered to stay for of Piebalds' the previous night. so we hit adalberto's and came home to watch spaced invaders. *ok, don't get me wrong on this. when i say i fell in love with the waitress i don't mean i am going to start obsessing over her and going to slim's every night and stalking her. what i mean is this: when we go out i can look at a girl and appreciate certain qualities, i will admit most are physical but certain things like a good smile and over all nice sense to them i find terribly attractive. and in the setting of the contained area of the venue in that moment i fall in love with girls. this happens almost ever time we go out. this happend almost nightly last summer. and this happend last night when i fell in love with the increadibly attractive asian girl from fresno at a house party last night. it's an appreciation that a)cute attractive girls exist and b)sometimes they recognize i exist. they are beautiful moments. |
