well, not really, but i finally got to see local natives last night and dear lord it was a beautiful thing. i also appreciated them letting me walk in and sit in the van for no good reason, store my posters behind the merch booth that a rando bought for me because i didn't have any cash, leave my phone number for whenever they inevitably will not need me on tour, and take brian, the drummer from suckers, to late night at cabana with my new friend samantha where we stayed until 3 a.m. eating pie and bbq sliders and cheese plates and french fries and, well, anything... for free.
A little moment with suckers: that's my new buddy in the stripes.
suckers were wild and the lead singer asked me if i had any coke, and then asked me if i had any LSD, and i had to explain the misleading look of my appearance (or perhaps my approach to interpersonal interaction in general?) and that no i didn't have any drugs. and local natives couldn't get their bass right so they played world news ( my new fav song) twice through and then proceeded to play a lengthy set to the BEST CROWD i've ever seen in nashville. usually we're kind of assholes to play for.
good stuff.
other things that happened this week:
auditioning for a jewel music video (hmm?)
black and milds + fat tire in the courtyard of a retirement home
"ms. riggs, you look like a hot mess!"
dominating yazoo brew with 3 growlers needing to be filled
a solid neon leggings purchase
being in the car with someone getting a field sobriety test (SHE WAS SOBER)
meeting my favorite japanese person, shuhei yamamamamamtytfou, and getting locked out of my apartment while he had to pee in the bushes (make sure you check out his band, pet lions)
and, seeing local natives and suckers. and naturally being the last person to leave the venue.
