If You Were Me

... you'd have a tough time deciding what to do tonight.

if you're looking for the all ages route, boy are you in luck: Tokyo Police Club, Eagle*Seagull, We Barbarians @ Soma Sidestage is a guaranteed awesome show ... as is the all-star local line up of Grand Ole Party, The Muslims, Red Feathers @ Che Cafe.

can't go a full night without drinking? two great local line-ups: Pattern Is Movement, Swim Party, Joanie and the Secretaries at the Beauty Bar ... and .... Vitro, Paper Planes, Roxy Jones @ Ken Club.

honestly, i wish i could be in 4 places at once. I caught TPC at the beauty bar last time they were through, so i am good on that front, i just saw GOP at their M-theory in-store, and Red Feathers last week at Whistlestop for their EP release so i'll push those aside. it's a bit of a toss up, but i'll probably be heading to Beauty Bar. i'd like to do both (BB and Ken), but both venues start late so they'll probalby coincide. honestly, you probably could catch one of those all ages shows, and part of one of the 21+ shows if you're crazy or if you're hardcore like Rosey.

also, if you were me, you headed to the ken on wednesday to catch one of SD's finest The Exfriends play (sans Ray). they also played with label mates Andy Friedman and the Other Failures (other, or is just failures, something like that) ... both were excellent. it was a late weekday night so the crowd was thinner, but that didn't stop both bands from playing great set. i also had Ponce's for the first time (FINALLY!) ... though not too many veggie options at this point, i still got potato rolled tacos and some cheese enchiladas. both were excellent. my friend mike who works there said they're working on getting some more veggie stuff, and he said next time give him a heads up and they'll just make me a fat all veggie plate of goodness. i'll be back.

sadly, i got lazy last night (and by lazy i mean band practice went til 10pm and i was beat) so i didn't get to head to the casbah. but we did catch "her political heart" on 94/9, nice shout out from tim. nicest guy, seriously. and he also gave the heads up that there would be FREE El Zarape food at the casbah. seriously, how could people not want to head out now.

1) it's the casbah
2) it's a FREE show!!
3) it's an early show (doors at 7ish, first band at 8pm)
4) there is FREE El Zarape Mexican food
5) there is a FREE Compilation CD featuring us, anna troy, echo revolution, secret apollo, etc.
6) and we're playing .. and this is basically our tour kick off show!!! we leave for vegas next thursday.

so there you have it. there's no good reason not to come. so we'll see you there sunday. and if for some reason you're confused about what i'm talking about, you can read all about it here.

1 22oz bottle of Stone Imperial Russian Stout (10.8% alcohol by volume) is like 4 cans of PBR or bottles of Red Stripe (roughly 5%). just throwing that out there...
