2004/07/09 why can't we just play the other game It's a really good thing that I'm working next week, because it will force me to reign in my nightlife antics for... at least a little bit. Eh, who am I kidding, I'm going to be hungover every day probably. I have such a great work ethic... Last night we started off with the free Benzos showcase @ Pianos. The room was overflowing with industry and press, but we managed to get a good spot next to Peter and a really really really obnoxiously loud guy wearing a green polo shirt with an alligator on it. This jerk talked through just about every song, smack talking about the band, about the crowd, about indie music blah blah blah. Not that he will ever read this site, but for the record: I hate you smack talking drunk asshole, and I don't hate many people, but you were just RUDE. Anyways, there were some major sound problems during the second song, such as NO LEAD VOCALS, which the band didn't realize until it was too late because apparently they could hear it and we couldn't. Way to go Pianos... Nevertheless, the problem was fixed and the rest of the set was amazing and the band re-did the song as an encore which made everyone happy. Labels have taken notice and hopefully the band will be signed as they well deserve to be soon. After Pianos, we made the huge mistake of trying to go to Lit and get in on the open bar action. It was just too hot, too crowded, too ridiculous. We moved on to the Delancey and finally managed to get up on the roof. Yay fern trees. Matt came to meet us and there were mint candies shaped like penises. Jocelyn and I tested the "everyone has a boyfriend" theory and unfortunately we were proved correct. C'est la vie, we said, so let's get drunk instead. Mission accomplished. Stills showed up. Then everyone showed up, even people I used to work with years and years ago. Somehow this all was relocated to Luna Lounge, which was surprisingly open and serving drinks. Jen has great pictures of me with potted plants, and she is the best ever because she let me pass out on her couch after watching Zoolander with one of the Stills who quoted almost the entire movie with me. "Obey my dog!" Gotta love it, NYC, despite all the drama it's nice to know that there are cool people out there with comfy couches who can quote Zoolander. Tweet posted by n. @ 7/09/2004 | | #
