Last night was super fun which is the kind of night I've needed. It began with margaritas to celebrate Christy's big win at work - way to go Cheech! From there I met Emily and Shanana for a beer on the street that was rudely interrupted by a couple of uniformed officers who gave us all a $25 ticket - bastards. I hate how cops come on tough to see if you're going to be a dick, but then flip the switch and feel guilty when they hand you a dumb ass ticket for slugging a 24 of PBR before heading into a show. Speaking of shows, we caught Tigercity at Annex and they were outstanding. Now the levels were not to my liking (I needed more Bill in my monitor), but the band killed. They are smooth and oh-so-danceable, but they also adhere to that "post-everything" vibe that has found success on all sorts of dance floors. Joel's bass lines and backup vocals really stood out, if only because they were the cream of the many layers of goodness creeping through the PA. Bright lights and a big future are rapidly appearing in their rearview mirror. Don't be the last to catch on. You'll start to listen when the real blogs give a heads up, but you heard it here first or maybe it was third. After the show Builder walked me home to watch the Steelers game, but I blacked out as soon as Miller scored that big touchdown. I woke up with no pants on - Builder, you have some explaining to do. It was great to see all the Orchard heads out in support of the guys - including the old head Leda! Also, much love to Nora, but I'm sorry I couldn't deliver an encore. Whiskey gets me drunk.

Anyway, check this shit out - Busy P is Deejaying at Movida on Saturday with Sarah (the most Ultra of Grrrls) and Alex English. To be honest, Busy P was responsible for breaking my neck at the Ed Banger party last week. I'll be there - won't you come with me? Click here for free admission.

Also, you need to hit this party on Tuesday if only to hear the album. The Rapture's new record is legit and I won't stop saying it. Trust me, this shit will get old. Just be an early adapter and make me happy.
