As I was Saying ...

TONIGHT! Yes, the Beauty Arts night (I forget the official name of the event) is tonight. I've never been to it, but it looks all hip and pretentious so it could be fun. Also, where "hip" and "pretentious" meet there is often free wine. Let's hope.

After that, I have a real buffet table of choices:

1. The Mistreaters w/ 25 suaves at the Cactus Club. The Mistreaters are always a blast, hilarious, loud, fantabulous Pabst-fueled garage rock. The drummer from 25 Suaves is super hot, but she's also married to the singer. Fuck!
2. The Lovelies at the Reed Street Station. Don't get me wrong. I love the Lovelies. I used to have a huge crush on Liv. But, I just saw them a few weeks ago, ...and, ...well, ...they're great to listen to on CD, but boring live. Yeah, they don't rock and they don't seem to care. I'm always a little disappointed when I see them live, but I usually go anyway.
3. The Paper Chase is opening for 90 Day Men at Onopa. The Paper Chase is unbelievable. Ground-breaking music. But the sound at the Onopa reall blows. It's not configured for music, and it shows.
4. Troubled Hubble is playing an all ages show at the UWM 8th note cafe. If it says "all ages" I translate that to mean "fucking annoying". They are great, though, they shouldn't be playing at the lousy 8th note on a Friday night!

Looks like I'm going to the Cactus tonight. Better pack my ear plugs, it's gonna be LOUD.
