thought i saw you rocking out, ggw.
Silversun Pickups
Sure beats pay for parking lots and meters!
Wait a minute…I thought those meters were free after 6PM, or something like that. At least, in DC. Bethesda is a whole other story. Those bastards are nasty and will meter you up to 10:00PM, and you better move your car every two hours!

Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:just curious, what spot is this? is it that pseudo-spot right in front of the club that's on the crosswalk? that's always the "mirage" spot on a busy night, and i never know if it's actually legal or not. i got the spot directly in front of the club last nite, perhaps that's why i was in a good mood. a good parking space can really make a difference in one's attitude going into a show.

I'm sorry I missed the show, I'm liking the EP I have. The vocals get a little screamy in places but otherwise I think that's one of the group's stronger features. I wonder if it just wasn't working with the sound.
Definitely check out the Fillmore, Great American Music Hall, or Bimbo's. Those are my three fave music venues there.
You may also want to visit Aquarius Records if you are into vinyl/rare stuff.
Of course the Haight has good second hand clothing stores.
There's a really good Mexican restaurant that is open 24 hours. I believe it's on 14th and Mission. Another good restaurant is the one on 6th and Market (Tu Lan). Cheap…and it was Julia Child's fave restaurant in SF.
If you dig the bar scene and like cute Austrian boys who don't speak English, I recommend the Comet Club in the Marina district. HEH. (Are you over 21?)

Originally posted by Jaguar:Yup, under twenty one. If you could find out for me, that would be excellent.
Not sure about the age thing though. (I'm under the impression you are under 21, right?) If you are interested, I can easily find out for you.

Nothing interesting is playing the Fillmore while I'm there, but of course Wolf Parade plays immediately after I leave. Same with GAMH. And there is only one show booked at Bimbo's the whole time I'm there. Rahhh. I checked Pollstar and unfortunately the show front isn't looking amazing. I think Death Cab is playing in Berkeley but I've seen them before, and don't really have the desire.
Don't tell me about vinyl shopping! I have a problem haha, in that I compulsively buy vinyl that I want, yet no longer have a functioning record player, and haven't for a long time.
Thanks for the restaraunt recommendations, I defintely want to try out Tu Lan.
Rasputin Records is cool. For good Chinese food, check out House of Nanking.
looks like devotchka is at the independent on august 17 … cool venue?
The Independent is a cool venue with good sound. I saw Ben Lee and a real gem called Har Mar Superstar there last year or the year before. (Har Mar was a sweaty fat guy who took off clothes as the show went on and would come into the audience and kiss the girls). Anyway, the venue is close to the same size as the main stage at Black Cat. And there was some seating around the perimeter. Good beer selection too. It would probably be a good fit for Devotchka.
Originally posted by HoyaSaxa08:Yes, agreed it's a good venue. It's just hard to find parking in that area…

I love Har Mar! Let's form an appreciation club.

In the meantime, I just received an email from another friend in one of the other bands. He said that if you aren't of age, if you show up at about 7:30 and help them unload, maybe they can sneak you in as one of the band. ;) Not sure how serious he is but if you are interested, get in touch with me and I'll set you up. I'm sure that he will do what he can to help you. BTW, it's not Smackie so you won't have to worry about him or the others at all. :p
