ltmurnauA nice weekend marred only by weird weather. After work on Friday I went to pick up Aki [oh yeah, I've been too busy having things happen to write about them - most of you know about this already but a quick recap: I moved out two weeks ago, living with Betty now. Papers aren't signed yet but a matter of time. I have no regrets except where Aki is concerned. Alea iacta est. Your mileage may vary. Screw you if it does beyond one standard deviation. No, not you, you over there.] and it was raining so hard I couldn't see the other side of the street clearly. Then it cleared up and got as cold as February. We had supper in Chinatown with Marc, who I have not seen in many years and who hadn't seen Aki since he was a little baby. Then we took the 70 out to Sayward and Gary picked us up, we hacked around building a little model of a Japanese destroyer and watching "Invasion Iowa", which was a pretty good joke. Aki loved petting the cats and dog, he isn't around animals much but really likes them, but later he got really itchy hands. Does this necessarily mean an allergy? He showed no other symptoms and never has, as far as I can recall.
In the morning we cast a few pieces in the workshop from some German aluminum molds I'd found and went into town for lunch. After won ton soup and an ice cream cone we went to the library to work on his project on comparative anatomy (humans vs. sting rays) for a bit. I took him home and went back to lay down for a bit before the big event Saturday night -
SHONEN KNIFE, LIVE IN VICTORIA AT LUCKY BAR!!!
It was great fun. I've been waiting to see them for about ten years, and every time they've been to Victoria I have missed them. I know it's only the beginning of April, but this was the best event I've seen all year. It was their last show of the North American tour - 29 shows in five weeks, and they were loud and fast and genki-ippai!
It was so crowded there wasn't room to do much more than bounce up and down, they played some new stuff but a lot of older favourites too - here is the setlist I can remember, in no particular order:
Konnichi Wa
Twist Barbie
Summertime Boogie
Map Master
Blue Oyster Cult
Bear up Bison
Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner song (two versions, fast and faster)
ESP
Tomato Head
Cobra vs. Mongoose
Riding on the Rocket (my favourite)
I Wanna Be Sedated
Rubber Band
... that's all I can remember for now.
Good Times.
