but once that situation was resolved i saw juliette and the new romantiques who were pretty good. then i saw quiet company giving hugs. and i took pics of people on the street.

but the second best part of the first part of the day was walking past Daniel Johnston. i introduced myself, shook his hand, and told him how great he is.

before that i reviewed last nights show.

i found myself in a causecast march for the invisible children, and then i had a hard time using my iPhone so i went back to the room,

which was a great thing because i realized im seeing Jane’s Addiction tonight.

can you believe i almost forgot that?

a lot. so when i heard something evil wrap around the corner i followed it like a fat kid smelling brownies cooling on a windowsill

the band was valiant thor. i was in immediately. i didnt wanna leave. i didnt leave.

i wanted to see the Circle Jerks but then i thought, why? these dudes are kicking my ass like five times a second

then i saw a line forming across the way. the grates were going to play so i went in.

but first i saw a cool all girl folkie band out in the street

then i went back to the radio room. while waiting, there was another band in a tent in the back. a crazy guy singing. never heard of What Laura Said but they were into it and they were fun to photograph

somewhere in there i ducked out and saw the Von Bondies then ducked back

but then i ran back to see The Grates, who were amazing. of course. as always

Patience is now a blonde, and wore something from Raymi’s closet.

i doubt tonight will be as fun. how could it be? although on my short list of bands to see tonight are Juliette, Tori Amos, Lil Jon, The Ancestors, Hank IV, and Marching Band.
