ich bin ein auslander

spent the weekend trying to come down off of the incredible adrenaline high that i’ve been running on for the last few weeks. constantly wondering what’s next, where are we going, where’s my drink, who’s that, let’s run over there… blah blah blah. Trying to bring things back down to normal speed now.

Going to see Eddie Izzard tonight… can’t wait. In the meantime, work!

head hurts.

getting ready to head out for the final show of the year and 1/2 gutterflower tour… glitzing and glamming it up a bit as there will be a fairly large party after the show to mark the occasion. should get pretty crazy as well so the heavy duty aspirin are out and ready for what i’m sure will be a very late return.

some people leave concerts with girl’s numbers….

i leave them with eddie van halens.

Wendy was up in Lake Arrowhead hanging out with Adrienne and Anna Friday night, while I attempted to rally up a Finn’s posse to no avail… finally ended up walking down there around midnight when Skeely got off work and had a drink or two before heading back home. On the plus side, I got to listen to music really, really loud at home.

Wendy was supposed to be back home relatively early afternoon on Saturday, but that keep stretching and stretching until it was nearly 7pm before she strolled in. Gave me time to do all my various psychotic exercise routines and wolf down some subway… then we headed out to Jason’s welcome back Foamy party in (cough) woodland hills. Nice to see everyone, all in good spirits and relatively wasted. Hung out for a bit before heading out to Hollywood to catch Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Fonda. Great music, but they’re desperately in need of some stage charisma. At the very least, they could start breaking things.

Sunday started off slow, heading down to the Farmers Market with Wendy and Skeely, where Wendy proceeded to purchase what felt like a bag full of bricks that I got to carry home. Thankfully, it was just heavy food. Did the whole exercise thing before Jason, Bob and Cheyenne just happened to be in the neighborhood and dropped in. Wendy went out for a photo walk with them while I finished up yoga… hung out for a bit, and then Dehais and Skeely showed up while party #1 headed back to Hollywood, and we went out for dinner at the Reel Inn… shrimp cocktail and fish and chips. mmm. Oh, and a pitcher or two of Hefeweizen. Then back to venice and another pitcher or two at the Sidewalk Cafe or whatever it’s called to watch the sunset. Nice evening.

Now it’s Monday, some quick work, a bike ride, and heading down to Anaheim to see the parents and catch the goos at the HOB down there… down to their last 3 shows of a year and a half tour, so it should be fun as the weight is lifting for them.
