What a good day today has been, I'm pretty lucky to have 70 degree weather like this... for my birthday. :D
I had lunch outside under the trees by the library. I would've thought to publish something about birthday announcements and stuff, but I didn't think about it until the end of the day of course. So what exciting things do I have planned for my birthday? Tonite I'm working on a paper, my birthday present to my future-self one could say. . . although I could be doing worse things, I suppose. I hope the fates will distribute some birthday warmth over the next few days.... that'd be cool. Thanks to all you well wishers! :)

Ahhh the weekend. where does it go?

This was a pretty good weekend overall. No complaints to register. Friday, I went courtesy of Christina Indovina to see a WYEP member show at the Rosebud. It was my first one: Alexi Murdoch and Joseph Arthur headlining. Joseph Arthur? Kinda looks like Curt Connolly from a distance, especially in physical gestures and temperament. Difference is this guys is pretty tall, like 6'4 or something, and I doubt if he'd show you a good Slalom in your living room... Both cats, Murdoch and Arthur (yeah and Connolly too :D ... ) are pretty good, and I wouldn't have ever encountered them save for this exposure, so thanks Christina. Afters, we played out on Carson St. and of course all the men-folk beamed when they saw a girl playing guitar out on the street. One highlight was the one drunk guy walking over as we finish a song who says, "Play some Hendrix." So I needlessly oblige him with the opening of 'Hey Joe' to which he says, "No, play some Hendrix." "Ah yesss," says his buddy, "that's Hey Joe." "No, play some Hendrix." And that's the South Side late Friday night, you gotta expect that. On the positive tip, there were two chicks walking by who gave us a nod and says one to the other, "See that? That's why I love the South Side."
Saturday was some crazy karaoke at Eli's. Ain't nothing like Chris Rudolph singing Wooly Bully. Believe you me it was slick. :) Sunday I played the Tango Cafe coffee shop open mic, sans mic. Pretty informal but fun. I think I'll have to go back again soon.
