Mood:  caffeinated
yesterday, jasper and i went to watch billy perform at the henry fonda theater. i was feeling a little hesitant because it was a week night and the idea of getting home late, only to get up early again for work, SUCKED. not only that, but jasper wasn't really digging the electronic sound of the "future embrace" album. so i couldn't say that i was feeling too hyped up about it.

so we get there in time to watch the first opening band finish up... and i thought that i really should get out more and watch the local bands. who knows what talent is lying around, ready to be signed to a record label? the second band was all right - i didn't catch the band's name, but i didn't like the singer's voice much. the acoustics were surprisingly pretty good at the fonda theater and it was small, intimate. it's like a smaller version of the wiltern.

anyway, so we're standing around, chit-chatting with ben and evelyn, poking fun at the stage set-up because there was a white wall of tile (imagine bathroom square tiles) in the back. when billy stepped out, people cheered and hollered. a girl who i had been eyeing in front of me breaks out her lighter and smokes some pot. she starts shaking her hips and dancing (all hippie-ish). billy's up there with three other members, two guys, one girl. the girl has skunk hair and sings harmony, i guess.

i dunno what else to report except that the music was all right. i couldn't quite get into it, i kept hoping billy would rock out with guitar solos... but the coolest thing was the bathroom tile wall, because it lit up with multiple colors and moving patterns. i think it would have been especially entertaining for those potheads ;). i got home late, woke up early and showered, and now here i am... tired as heck, but in the end, happy that i went.
