Oh, you fuck. I was hoping for some SC2 games. Guess I'll get to practicing Zerg, then.

[Ed Hocken]

Apparently, I'm being kinda sorta taken to the Bryan Lee O'Malley signing. Two bucks says this thing is going to be jammed.

[Shit Dickface]

NICE. Have fun!

[Ed Hocken]

We'll see about that. I'm not crazy frying in the sun.

[Shit Dickface]

Aw, c'mon. You only live once. But fuck a line, seriously.

Bought and hung curtains in the guest room/computer room. It's all dark and cave-like in here now. So hard to fend off naps when it's like this...

[Shit Dickface]

God my farts smell horrible today. Also the party got held off until 11:30 tonight because the chick hosting it has to work. FUCK.

[Ingrid]

Did you pull a nerdious and eat 4 breakfast burritos?

[Shit Dickface]

I did not, but I crushed some chicken pad thai, a peanut butter Protein Plus Powerbar, and two glasses of milk when I got home last night.

Kat: "Well, Sue said that she hopes you can handle non-PC people, because her friends are non-PC."
Me: "Shit, you know me. Besides, people who usually have to announce how non-PC they are are often irritating assholes."
Kat: "...Good point. Do you still want to go?"
Me: "Sure, I want to see how non-PC these people are."

Time to rock some fucking worlds.

[Abraham Smashington]

lol.

CSN was awesome and not awesome! They opened strong with "Woodstock", did a few really great ones that everyone loves, and closed strong with stuff like "Love the One You're With."

The problem was the middle, where they did a whole bunch of lullabye-ish solo stuff that was only a couple of years old and no one knows. As a result that they used up so much time doing those songs, they didn't get around to a few of their really HUGE hits like "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", "Teach Your Children", "Marrakesh Express", and "Wasted on the Way". And honestly? For a classic band like CSN, no one cares about something they wrote two years ago. That would be fine for a band who's only been around for five years - you WANT new stuff. But for a group of guys in their 60s, anything new is probably going to be lame (we ran into the same problem with Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney - the new stuff isn't that great for guys that old).

Plus the other problem with the middle part of the concert being "sleepy" was that everyone there was our age or older, so you know everyone had probably worked all day, and was tired. Plus it was hot. Plus we're all breathing in pot smoke, which was totally making me sleepy - and then they sing slow songs we don't know for the middle of the show. I actually dozed off on George's shoulder for a couple songs!

Big pluses - Stephen Stills can still wail on his guitar like he's still 25! And David Crosby is a really cool, funny guy - very down to earth with the crowd!

But over all, CSN was still amazing - for my money, they have the most amazing harmonies of any band around, and hearing "Southern Cross" in person just blew me away. So we've now checked them off of our "Better See Them Before They Die" list!
