hot hot heat

i've decided to write about the gigs i go to in case something exciting happens and i forget all about it...

venue: popscene @ 330 ritch
band: hot hot heat
who: alex, betty (& will)
when: 17 february 2005 (thursday)
doors supposedly open at 9p

we (me, alex & betty), actually got there at 9:30 rather than our usual 1hour+ tardiness. we picked alex up in menlo park on the way. it was her first time at popscene and i promised her freaks, not to mention hot hot heat.

we get there and the line was around the corner. the doors don't open until 10p and good old jorge wouldn't let us in. so we got to the end of the line and it began to rain. i decided i didn't want to wait, so as we went to say good bye to jorge, our friend will magically appears. he's a regular there. he's a really good dancer. i've never seen a white guy groove the way he does. we're still deciding whether it's because he's gay. i just don't get the gay vibe from him. and as a fag hag, i too have gaydar. so will says to us, come back in a couple of hours, jorge will let you guys in. we still decide to leave. we actually head over, around and across the block to a bar by pac bell park called the park. we have a drink each and head back to the club. there's a pizza place inside the club with a window facing the outside. i met some nice aussies cutting in for the pizza. it was their first time too. we get pizza and see if jessica, the coat check chick, is there and if she'd let us in. no such luck, she wasn't there that night. we decide to watch the freaks inside through the window (i promised alex freaks!) and jorge catches us, then he shakes his head and gives us a nod towards the door. score! we get in with time to spare. and time to shake it up.

there was a first that night, we actually spent the whole time dancing during the gig. usually, people just stand and stare, there's hardly any room to dance... it was a good night. and alex saw the ninja guy...

superbowl sunday

so breakfast in tokyo played last sunday at this place called club good hurt. it was a small cozy sort of club. there were 3 bands, bit, the transmissions, and the james-brown-singer band (aka i forgot their name). i know i sound biased but i really thought bit was the best band there. they had the right amount of stage presence, melody, and diverse sound. i really enjoyed the show. i especially enjoyed being able to see the band. normally, in these small venues and since i'm so petite, all i can do is hear the music and see the tops of the crowds' heads.

my first BIT show

ted's band is playing on sunday, in west la at club good hurt. i think it's their 5th gig but it'll be my first time seeing them play. i'm kinda nervous about it. what if they suck? haha. i know, that's mean. i'm sure they'll rock.
my partner-in-crime betty is coming with me. she & i know the singer of their band. it'll be fun to see them with her. i've even got my white go-go dress packed ;)
i can't wait!!
