Went to see Lez Zeppelin tonight with Aki and Lisa. It’s an all-girl Led Zeppelin cover band. They put on a great show — there were a couple rough spots but they nailed most of the tunes right out of the park. Their rendition of “In My Time of Dying” was amazing, as was “Kashmir”, “Rock & Roll”, “Black Dog” and “Whole Lotta Love”.
The drummer was the highlight — totally slammed every song. Got all the nuances right. Looked like she was having a blast. And she has the best rock name of the bunch, too: “Helen Destroy”. But they all put on a good, fun show.
I hear that sometimes they do the first album from beginning to end. I would love to see that. I will check them out again next time they’re in town.
Got my halloween costume all set. Doing another couple costume with Michelle. It also involves her wearing tight fitting clothes and me shaving my head. Like last year, we don’t expect most people to get it. I’ll post pictures and an explanation when I get them.
I’ve already got an idea for next year’s costume, should it come to pass, that again involves her in tight fitting clothes and me shaving my head. I wonder how long we can play that motif out.
All that sounds wonderful. And I’ve been working on a video. But honestly, I feel blah. Hopefully it’ll pass. If not, I’ll have to start sniffing glue.
Hey, we were at that show too! Did you see that balding dude in the tie-dye shirt, right in front of right stage, who looked like he was going into epileptic seizures trying to rock out every time they started playing? He practically stole the show as far as we were concerned, we couldn’t stop laughing.
Yeah, that was me.
Well, in my dreams anyway. I missed out on that unfortunately, as we were pretty far over to the left. Too bad I didn’t spot you!
Oh yeah, so I’m back in town! Remember all the good times we had last time I was in town? Haha! Well imagine that times 10 and you’ll understand what’s in store for this year!
Or maybe we should grab a pizza sometime. If you still eat, that is.
this year’s costume:
Lobot?
I think you could also pull off a pretty good bruce willis, but i don’t think anyone would get it.
go with lobot. and then the baroness could be princess leai. or better yet – a cloud city trooper! and you could just go the whole night without speaking! and you’d just point and she’d have to run there!
so. awesome.
