flat tire, and got home at 1:30am, and got work tomorrow.

but, I won a free signed CD by recognizing the Doogie Howser theme when the opening band played it.

well, whatevs. maybe should have stayed and begged a ride.

makes me think of the possible driving future, where instead of having a bike flat 3 miles from home, I have instead a car broken 20 miles from home. then I'd be even more screwed.

out too late on a school night.

Wensday opened for HD last night. They're pretty good, and I won a signed CD from them by winning a name-that-tune contest in like four notes. They're also loosely connected to Alice Cooper in a few ways I forget the details of. Dick Wagner's in the group and used to write for Alica, and they did three Alice cover songs in their set. They have a female vocalist with an amazing voice, and they have a pirate song written in waltz time, and there's one song where the chord structure, of all things, really impressed me. I'll update once I've had some quality time with the CD.

Unfortunately, because they showed up, HD went on around midnight and as a result I was out way too late, even though I left right as they went into Judas Priest. At that point, nobody had yelled "free bird" all night, not even the two high school grads who were running around with their shirts off. In fact, the interplay with the audience was pretty good with both bands.

I think Wensday might be at the next level above Hung Dynasty for local music; they have a recurring gig every month somewhere. I'll try to show up to at least one of those.
