I started this yesterday on my lunch because, as gilgrim mentioned last Friday, I’ve been put on lock-down from the interwebz. Well, everyone at work here has, whatever. I really just need this job as a filler until I finish graduate school and can start teaching full time, but man would I jump ship today if I could. Until I can quit the blog posts might come with a bit less frequency…
Sunday night the wife and I saw The Cure at the Shrine. Generally, at these types of shows, there’s just one opening act that, for the most part, you try and miss. For some odd reason, the traffic was actually very good in LA that night so after parking, walking around a bit, and buying a shirt for the wife, we were in our seats by the time miscellaneous opening band was into their 2nd song. The “band,” as it turned out, is called 65daysofstatic. Now, I don’t want to say that they upstaged the headliners because when The Cure throwdown a 3-hour set with almost no breaks, they can’t be upstaged. But you expect a band like The Cure to be great. You do not, however, expect the unbilled opening act to be great.
So as I type this I’m wearing a 65daysofstatic t-shirt.
