happy mengtar photo catchup day!

there is a definite possibility that something is wrong with snowflake this morning. he croaked at me for a solid five minutes after homeboy left. apparently i will not be falling back to sleep, though i don't work for another threepointfive hours.





then he stared at me for a solid half hour. just staring at me. occasionally he would open his mouth like he was going to start croaking again... but didn't. then he just turned around and walked away, but i swear he shook his head first. he didn't even hop away. he WALKED away... not upright, but definitely walked.

i'm not over it.






i met homeboy up at jupiter house last night to dick around on our computers and do crosswords and watch him study and such. we were approached by three wonderously dressed gents saying they were from out of town and were playing at andy's at 10... it was 9.50...

i was FAR too distracted by their attire to be able to think up a legit response, so i let homeboy play that role. curlyhaired guitarist guy had a floral button-up that rivaled my living room curtains under a jean jacket and longhaired singer guy had some sweet white leather kicks that i hope to god were italian, just because he's cool enough to say it and be completely awesome, aka not a prick. bassist dude that looked like boros had a vest. i love vests and i think i need one... now. i could pull off a good dyke vest with me new haircut. fo sho.

they are called Band LeGrand. ((still giggling))




we checked out their site so we didn't waste our time breaking the study routine ((that had hardly started)) and they seemed... interesting... so we packed up and went to andys. there weren't many other people there. ((five or six?)) and i think some of them were in other bands for that night...

it's got to be a rough gig touring through denton to do a small show on a tuesday...

more people had gathered by the end of their set, but they were still plenty energetic throughout. amazing performers.

also, they had a legit piano and amps that looked like they were from 1976.




the singer played some mean pianer on about half of the songs. also, he had a wicked profile with large nose that hooks downward and a chin that jutts out to his nose. awkwardly amazing. their finale was the song we had heard on their website. this is the jam. go listen to it. it ends with some wicked piano that was played with an oldschool george washingtonesque wig. ((badass!!))

also, he played while standing on his stool and did jumps and flips off his piano.

it was a fucking intense show.

band legrand.

do it.
