guster, no everclear
03/31/01 ~ 8:39 p.m.
so, guster. i left a little later than planned to get jeffy, and got there at about 5:30. the drive out to s.f. wasn't so bad. we didn't even really hit any of the expected friday evening traffic. we picked up one of jeff's friends and headed on over. there was a HUGE line, but we got close enough to the stage. there was an annoying tall guy in front of me i had to keep looking around, but jeffy (the gentleman) switched with me. the first guy, ben kweller, was very cool. funky and shit. the second act was this old scary folk band that we could have played when i worked at the nature company.
then guster. they were fabulous. 80 times better than the first two times i saw them. they played two new songs, a funny muzak version of an old song of theirs, lots of old stuff, and my favorite song, i spy. they also played one in the encore that ryan (the lead guster singer) and ben kweller wrote. i love how ryan is a big dork and that makes him cool. he talked a bit between songs and i love that. the best part was the last song of the encore. they completely unplugged everything. no amps or microphones. (i've never seen no microphones!)they sung an old(er) song called mona lisa that i had heard but didn't know. it was awesome. those guys have talent, great voices that carry, and stage personality. it was fun.
i was SO falling asleep on the drive home. like hitting the bumps and everything. when we got to davis, jeffy and i hit up del taco and that woke me up and the last leg of the drive was fine. i got to sleep a little after 3:30 am. WAY past my bedtime (which is typically 10. stop laughing)
i got up this morning at about 10:30, ate some pankakes, and went to astrid's house, where we spent a nice long afternoon scrapbooking and watching movies. it was great.
now here's the shocker. tonight was an everclear concert, and i didn't go! this is the first time inn about 5 years i've missed them play (as long as i was aware of the concert, stupid coke card bastards). i wasn't super stoked to go, i was gonna just try to get backstage with my friend christie, but i never got ahold of her. i didn't feel like making a night and long drive of it, so i just came home. it is now almost 9 p.m. and i am going to fall asleep watching high fidality. g'night.
