meat candy

Good show at Double Door on Saturday. Everybody rocked. Hard. I think the boys rocked so hard on stage that the screen fell. In front of say at least 100 people, the damn screen fell down. I mean, the fucking screen FELL DOWN. It was 2 screens taped together at the top and and held up by the pulley system they have at Double Door. This rules by the way. I wish they were farther apart though. I guess the tape got loose when the screen was taken down for the first band or something. I don't know. It was embarassing but I pulled it off as best I could. People gave me compliments and really seemed to like the show.

We had dinner at the awesome Papagin where we shared our dishes including Chris' sweet crispy chicken something that basically tasted like meat candy. I know what I'm getting next time I eat there. Helen Stellar was fantastic. There was an opening band too. Lots of friends came out to support. Jeremy and Chris' parents, who were all charming and sweet, made it out and it's nice to know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Wow, I think that's the first time I've ever said that.

The night ended with Chris, myself and our friend Mat from the band Arks driving around (after the after-party at Elbo Room with Scary Lady Sarah and her Shimmer night) looking for a 5am bar. The bitter cold made us leave the line at Estelles and we headed for the 24 hour Korean restaurant on Lawrence that is now closed till summer. Damn. We ended up at Golden Apple where Mat and I had burgers and Chris , god bless him, had BBQ ribs and chili fries. Good times. I seriously can't wait for the next Airiel show. I know I say this every time, but it's true. I also can't wait for the Arks show at Darkroom on Monday....
