Detour festival, etc.
October 10th, 2006
Well… let’s see. This weekend, I saw Beck, Basement Jaxx, Peeping Tom and a bit of Queens of the Stone Age at the Detour festival. I had won tickets, so I didn’t really feel like getting there on time… I feel like it was cool, but I wish I’d seen more (like Red Kross and Blackalicious)… But then again, I didn’t really want to just bake out in the sun all day. It was a fun time, not something I would pay for, but totally awesome for free. I won the tickets from the laist (link to a review by me).
Hmm… yeah, I didn’t bring my camera… and also… my ipod fell out of my pocket to be lost forever. Whoops, that’s dumb, but you know it just follows from the chaotic world in which we live that the material goods we possess will all eventually depart (or fail).
So I guess the upside is that I didn’t bring my camera and lose it too. I’m generally not a loser of things, so perhaps it was deftly pick-pocketed, but I prefer to think it was dropped and picked up by someone who now has a scratched up ipod nano with my random songs on it. I hope they like Elastica, Sonic Youth, breakcore (in general), New Order, and some other randomness. woohah.
Let’s see… yeah… just trying to get my finances in order at the moment. My hospital session this summer is still producing bills. That sucks.
Why would I want my finances in order? In order to buy more stuff (to eventually lose):
- Earth Shoes yeah, it’s silly, but whatever
- Ted Weber Amp kit Who doesn’t want to build a Marshall head?
- Fixed gear wheelset for my cheap Raleigh Record… (maybe not the somax wheels, but something in there)
Somehow writing down just those three things as “wanted to buy” makes me feel less like wanting to buy them, which is good. I should probably focus on other ways to spend my money like… oil change, food, bills… Yeah, that’d be smart.
