Show 90: L.A. at Women

TURNOUT: 15

MONEYS: $15. merch $9

INJURIES: That spot where Kate slaps my head at that one part, it's starting to kind of break out in acne. Also my hair is getting too long and needs shaving. In other words my personal appearance is suffering some injuries.

STORIES: This place was punk rock. That's about all I want to say here about that.

On a positive note: a couple radicals with some who just moved to LA from Denver came to see the show, and contributed 2/3 of the money earned. Pedestrian Deposit are great musicians and we got to talk theatre with Shannon and this other guy. Xdugef and Shawn McCann were also quite good.

Also, we dried the sweat out of Ulysses' costume on the uncharacteristically well-maintained front lawn.

Peter played his "quiet" set, and sold more merch than us.

Directions in hand,

Peter drives past the exit

Ben was sooo silly

Show 89: L.A. at Echo Curio

TURNOUT: 6 in the beginning about 3 at the end.

SMELL: Fairly fresh. Smelled mildly of lavender.

BENCH PRESS: About two hundred. Not bad for such a scrawny place.

MONEYS: 20

INJURIES: It hurts, it hurts, oh god it hurts in my soul. (This is ben being slightly overdramatic)

STORIES: There were two skirted and pantsed people who walked into the space right before we were about to start which made me smile a bit thinking maybee somehow the press releases I'd sent out to the void had reached them only to see them walk out right after I did the "When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other contries, then you shouldn't be surprised when somebody responds in kind" bit.

Oh well.

John and Shannon of Pedestrian Deposit came and saw the show which was great and we had a discussion afterwards with them, Grant, and another guy who's on the neighborhood association and who I can't remember his name goddamn it. I feel like I sounded kind of straight-backed and bookish in this discussion which makes me a little nervous about what my brain and mouth want to do with the new information they suck up.

Other things: - The perfomance and general delivery of the show that night was a little shakey, went better the next night.

- You can't pee anywhere on Sunset Blvd but we did anyway.

- Pete played his loud set, the drooly one, which I watched with my eye's open this time.

Highwayku:

Smuggling apricots,

Where's the lush fertile valley

Barry White killed it.
