Just got back from drinks at Finn McCool’s with Simon and Dave… this basically turned into an agreement to go to Burning Man together next year. Not enough time to get it together properly this year, so next year it is. The RV idea was discussed, but I’m thinking we rent a proper touring bus. Got the Halloween interactive art party this year as a test run, then we’ve got a year to blow whatever we do for Halloween up about 20 times as big for Burning Man. So we’re going.
Anyway, back to the weekend wrap up. It’s a bit late, but what the hell. I already covered Friday and Wendy’s art opening… Saturday was supposed to involve seeing a new heir to the Guns and Roses throne play a bar in Malibu, but much to my great pleasure they cancelled so Wendy and I just chilled at home.
Sunday, however, was the Goth, the Bad, and the Ugly… off to see Siouxsie and the Banshees at the Palladium. Was never a huge fan, but always thought her stuff was good. David J (bass player in Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, did some really crap stuff on his own) opened and played his really crap stuff, plus horrible renditions of L&R and Bauhaus tunes, including Bela Lugosi’s Dead. Sacriledge. Oh well, the aging Goths lapped it up. Siouxise did a good job, although the set list heavily favored the very early punky stuff, which was much further down my list of enjoyable toonage. Oh well. People watching was the best aspect - goths, young and old. Amazing.
That was pretty much it, really. I was going to write more but if you don’t nail it at the time, it all seems kind of lame later on.
