A Kiss And A Cough, Now Everyone's Gone.
Off the plane and directly to Flore for dinner to go on the way home. I saw Babel there, and she told me that I smelled like poo and pee at the same time.I went home and ate with Jesse, and then another formally internet only friend, Shayla Hason, came over with her brother and we went out.
Down on Echo Park there was a band of little kids playing at Flounce. They were covering Stray Cats and Kinks songs! Awesome! The store was full of kids, like little kids, four year olds.
The name of the band? Nerd Army! Holy moly!
There's Kime Buzzelli! She is recovered from surgery and healthy as a horse. Also, she dyed her eyebrows black.
Shayla Hason live and in the flesh is a real whirlwind of energy. Check the link to her photo blod on your left at pdx pix. All these new friends, man, lucky me!
We drove over to the Garage Gallery for the Amanda Viettta opening. The Garage Gallery is in an actual garage in the backyard of a house. This is an excellent idea and if you have a garage it is your duty to do something simliar.
I was really psyched by Amanda's show. Really good.
You will remember her work from the cover of the No Age 'Dead Plane' 12". She also did the lettering on the Smell for the 'Weirdo Rippers' cd.
And there she is. Hi Amanda!
Then down to the Smell. Clavin and Hall.
And here is some very big news. After many years in the making, there is a new bathroom at The Smell! If you've been here, then you know, on a crowded night this is going to make a huge difference.
And kids, try not to annialate the walls with grafitti too fast.
Cool?
