  2. does bill graham have air conditioning? going to the qotsa show tonight and haven’t been there on a hot day before

    trip report: if they did it wasn’t up to the day or crowd, it was hot as hell in there

    nevertheless, great show

    audience photo of Queens of the Stone Age performing at Bill Graham Auditorium, the band is lit by a triangle of pink lights overhead hard to believe, I’m sure, but with a crowd of mostly 40-something couples in black rock t-shirts (yours truly included), the damned bar ran out of IPA before the band even started

  3. two nights of clean living, exercising again after a week of office work followed by a weekend house guest, plus a new pillow top on the bed, fell asleep at 9:30, did not wake up until 5:45.

    i will learn nothing from this pleasant experience.

  4. Hosting my kid’s birthday party yesterday answering a friend’s question, “so how do you know all of these kids?”

    “Well that kid is so and so, they went to pre-school together. And that kid is so and so, they are in TK together. That kid in the red shirt is, ah, jeeze, a friend’s kid who we see all the time but I’m completely blanking on their name"

    She says, “Yeah, that’s so and so.”

    I say, "right, I forgot.”

    Then I realize I’m talking to the kid in the red shirt’s mom.
