researching the vena cava




oh, this weekend was a full one.

friday was my last day at the dragon. it is finished. i maintained my composure & was met with little resistance. i have yet to hear from my old boss - somehow i am not surprised. though this sounds cheesy, my melancholy while dimming the lights upon close was real. i will miss working with books. however i know i made the good move.

[the new job is great, by the way. will write more about it later - thomorrow?]

the radars to the sky / thailand / the hard to get ep release show was at el cid on friday. thanks to everyone who showed - it was crowded! thailand played a solid set as ever & after andrew recovered his guitar from a bum downtown, radars conquered the stage, too. the buzz band reviewer for the times was there. he pogos quite nicely. i also had the chance to meet joe from radio free silverlake who is great & laughed at my plot for kinky wizards.

on saturday we went to lisa g & simon's black & red party. to celebrate, i bought a flapper dress from iguana vintage on hollywood blvd. i paired it with gloves, a cigarette holder, & a communist pin on my tweed jacket. it was ncie having the chance to catch up with everyone. seamus & i spent most of the evening with some excellent people, chatting & debating, rocking out to led zeppelin, & drinking keystone light by sunrise.

oh, i just remembered the after party the drunk 19 year old who picked a fight with seamus. you should ask him about it.

now, i am exhausted. to bed with me as i have another new, long day as a writer's researcher.
