Weekend wrap up with a schmaltzy ending

I have a lot of work to do today, and a lot to blog, so I may have to do some of it from the undisclosed remote location later today. But I'll get started...

The weekend kicked off with a bang with the Rock The Light, Dungeons and Drag Queens, SLA show on friday night. Rock The Light rocked everyone's socks off with all that you could ask for in a band: mustaches and simulated anal sex. I didn't check the rest of the bands because I am like that, but I did go home early and watch hour 56 of the Ingmar Bergman movie that I battled against all weekend. Ah, the gloomy Swedes, how I love them. I finally vanquished this movie (Fanny and Alexander) last night and it was great. One person that didn't go home early was Heckamax. He partied on into the night with D & DQ and Jerry Perry and did whatever it took (heh heh) to get Rock the Light a cover spot on Alive and Kicking. That's right, as I blog this our hometown boys are preparing to bowl with local legend Jerry Perry. Many hilarious scenarios for this interview were discussed, including Charles wearing a "local music magazines still suck" t-shirt for the cover photo.

Another worthy band who is getting some local press is Knock Knock, who are going to have an interview in SN&R soon. Come to think of it, heckamax is in this band, too. I wonder how he manages to uh, persuade, people to give his bands so much press? Perhaps he invites them back to his room to listen to Journey and watch him lift weights. Knock Knock conducted their interview with E.S. at Cafe Melange, which has become the breakfast spot for the beautiful people. Just yesterday this bustling cafe fed members of The Feeling, Rock the Light, Baby Grand, and a genuine celebrity sighting, Ailene Voison, sportswriter for the Bee. She was trying to go icognito, with sunglasses on even though it was overcast but I spotted her and my table began to loudly harumph about our opposition to an arena. She took her food to go and quickly scuttled outside.

I should go do some work but I'll continue the weekend wrap-up later. Right now I'd just like to add a little aside:

It's no secret that I've been feeling like shit lately. I can't hide my feelings at all, which, although it causes me no end of trouble in my daily life (blurting out inappropriate things, crying at work, etc., in fact I'm tearing up right now), I like to think of as a good quality because you always know where you stand with me. I'd like to thank all my friends, who have been so amazingly supportive that I can't believe my good fortune. You guys have been the only thing keeping me (semi)sane and you're the best. I'll even say so best, because in this case it's true.
