JOY ELECTRIC

[jesso]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS. He opened up with the first verse and chorus of "Girl From Rosewood Lane", and then proceeded to ROCK THE HOUSE. Lots of new stuff from Otherly Opus, but also ROBOT BEAT and MONOSYNTH and then the last song he played was SUGAR RUSH which made me go EEEEEEEEALKJSDKJBNDAKLSJDHFLJKLSDJLKJLDS!!!! and yeah. Sugar Rush! It was some really awesome remix version, too, all sped up and awesomified. I CANNOT TELL YOU how much I LOOOOOVE the Robot Rock album, guys. That was the album that made me realize that good music existed in the world, not just the crap on the radio. I pretty much didn't care for music before Robot Rock. It is like my musical "gateway drug", it got me hooked on MUSIC. and AWESOME.

Anyways, yeah, the show was great, and I met a lot of really cool people from the Internet, all of whom now know for a fact that I cannot dance. I think I talked two of them into going to Autobahn next year... muahahahaha. With any luck, I can recruit an army of minions a hoard of people to road-trip to Autobahn with next year. Though the one guy is married with a kid, so he probably wouldn't be up for road-trippery. But the other guy is in a band, so he'd probably be all for going to promote his band. And if those gals from Alaska really do move down here then maybe I could talk them into going, too! We could have, like, a whole Texas POSSE going.

ANYWAYS. Autobahn is still... 8 months away. For right NOW, I am not in Austin! I ended up not going because a) I slept like a rock until 1pm, then took a nap from about 2:30 to 5, and b) when I tried to contact the venue to find out exactly what time Things Were Happening, I couldn't. On their myspace calendar, they listed 4 band and showed the time as 10pm-11pm. Ummmm, yeah, probably not accurate. I asked Ronnie if he knew for sure what time he was playing, so I could be there, and he said he didn't even know. So today I tried to look and see if there was any way of maybe calling them, but I didn't find a number anywhere. And then I took my accidental nap, and then it was 5pm, and I said BAH. So I went and rented Marie Antoinette and got some WingStop goodness and that was my evening.

Man, I cannot believe how much I slept today. I mean, I was really freaking tired and everything, but dang. I feel a lot better for it, though. All day today my stomach has been just fine. I feel really relaxed. It is good. I guess the show made me happy enough to ditch the stress enough to sleep. I like that.
