friday night we went out to see gary's first set at the open eye and had tea and goodies and then skedaddled over to the arts center to catch the tail end of midtown dickens' set at the time capsule party put on by wendy, with her band, felix obelix making their debut to close the show. sandwiched in was a character named billy sugarfix who, dressed in a marching band uniform, equipped with a theremin, beer bottles filled with differing levels of water, a dry erase board and a black magic marker (which, in my opinion, was the best song he did), was funny and ballsy enough for me to overlook the fact that he didn't really do much of anything.

felix obelix was fantastic. i really like wendy's vocals--makes me think of elves or something like that. and it was so good to see jay and dylan--there's something about jay that always makes me giggle (but in a good way). dylan freaking rocked the xylophone. 'oh cadavere' was my favorite.

for the time capsule, i put in a the cheat button from homestar runner and a fancy gold lighter from harrod's of new york that my sleazey ex-bf gave me forever ago that i never got around to pawning, and j put in a cute little plastic frog that came from carribu coffee some years ago. they were called cocoa monsters and they sat atop the kid's whipped cream-topped cocoa.

greg and kathy were there as well and it was groovy to see them. the whole thing was awesome--there was a video booth that you could make a little video of yourself saying something to the people of the future, which will be put into the time capsule and opened in 2059. wendy made alot of fantastic art pieces for the show herself. very cool. kudos to wendy for all the hard work that went into that.

anyway, here's some pictures from the show:

this is peter. peter snomenn (pronouced 'snow-men'). he's jewish. peter likes sunsets and long walks on the beach. well, he likes sunsets anyway. he also enjoys sunday afternoons at the winery and his barbara streisand record collection. he prefers being more active in the colder months, as he tends to get a bit chafed in the heat. his favorite movie is 'hello dolly' and he thinks tattoos are sexy--on other people.

could you be the one to set peter snomenn's cold, cold heart ablaze? let's hope not.

there's something about snow that instantly takes you back to childhood. it makes you think 'oh, i can call into work today and put on my boots and go play in the snow'. it makes you smile and
giggle (even if it's just a little giggle). and it fills you with wonder--that wonder you had when you were seven and school got cancelled and mom stayed home from work and made you pancakes and suited you up with ten layers of everything and put the bread bags on your feet. that feeling of ultimate joy when the door opens and you step out into the soft white world and it all looks like a playground built just for you. and you try to take huge steps so you don't fall down--but mom's got you by one hand and the snow sled's got you by the other. and the day lasts forever and is gone too fast.

sometimes the world is so beautiful all i can do is just sit back and look at it in awe. and giggle. :)

rok!

so J plays bass in stratocruiser. this is his second go-round with them, after a brief respite due to schedules (aka: the inability to say no when it comes to musical projects). the show last night at the garage in winston-salem was the first time i'd seen them in about 2-ish years. not a great turn-out for a bitterly cold saturday evening, but a great show none-the-less. opening was box wine, an obviously new, pseudo-power poppy four-piece from winston-salem. ok-ish concept, but the delivery was less than stellar.

it was good to see stratocruiser again. i particually enjoyed the 15-minute cover of billy squire's 'everybody wants you', with random sprinkles of other songs mixed in for good measure. also, mike busting a bridge and ripping all the strings off his guitar in a very the who-esque display. fancy. their very first show i saw was at the same venue, not long after me and j started dating--how cute j was in my top hat that day. :) that was also the day he ran my car into a light pole. i kinda miss that car...
