Whiteghost Observament

White Rose Movement on Friday was a bit of a disappointment. After a delicious meal at the Algonquin Hotel for pre Mommy's Day, I threw off my fancy wears and headed over to meet a very sauced Ashley and Paul for the show. It was pretty weak, a whole lot of synth with not much else to fill out the sound. We stuck around for the rest of the set and then headed over to Orchard Bar for their last Friday night because they've lost their lease. We headed out to Daddy's in BK and then to sleeeep.

Yesterday after walking around for a bunch of hours, checking out the block party briefly, getting Ashley a new do, dealing with phonic disasters and picking up some weird raw dips from Whole Foods, we picked up some various fresh squeezed strawberry and grapefruit juices along w/ some coconut and headed over to Jay's apartment for a series of very strong drinks and some hang time pre show. It was nice to be back at the 186 again. After getting entirely too tipsy we watched Hockey Night play a bunch of songs. They sounded a lot less like Pavement live. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but they have some good tunes and it was fun. I saw Jeff and his nice new haircut there. He's always good for dancing up a storm at a show. Ghostland Observatory were really awesome. They opened up with their JAM Piano Man and played their #2 jam Sad Sad City super early on which was kind of a bummer. The set was so good/so much fun and I don't think I've ever seen so many people shake their asses at the Mercury Lounge before. They are playing the Delancey on Tuesday and I wasn't going to go, I wanted to check out that new pool party at the QT, but now I will definitely be heading back for round two of long shiny pig tail braids spazzing out across the stage.
