Nun has feelings about staying home.

There was a Skinny Puppy show on Tuesday night. Damn near everyone went, which really would have been the only attraction for me: I've never been a Skinny Puppy fan. I've been astounded by everyone's tales of discovering SP in their youth. I do miss the nuclear social reaction, though.

Last night was Ladytron, which I admit to wanting to see. Indeed, I'd gotten in line for someone else's freed-up ticket. But then I saw that Kimberly Dietemann, local techno maven who's had some hard times in recent years, was in line right behind me. I thought to myself, a) it's a work night, b) Kimberly is probably a bigger fan than I am, especially of their more recent stuff, and c) what I would have spent on Ladytron plus the latex dinner I'm skipping tonight might, just might, cover the cost of one of the two items for my house that I've bought in the last month.

I... kind of hate myself a little for being an adult.

It occurs to me that no one is going to want to go out this weekend when I'll be out & about. But hey, Tacoma Girl and I have made plans for lower Fremont on Friday.

The Vampire Masquerade Ball is coming, yes. Also Fremont Solstice and Pride next month. I shall have my revenge on the universe. And at some time I shall again invite people over to my dynamite crib.

I had a chance for a Skinny Puppy ticket, but I am not that big a fan. They're ok, I guess.

I was bummed I hadn't heard Ladytron was coming until after they were sold out, though.

I have sunglasses I need to stone for pride. I doubt we will go out to do anything in June for it, but at least I can have festive and appropriate eyewear.

my favorite SP song continues to be Stairs and Flowers. Mostly because it's so very random.

(Like most PNW fans, I discovered them through a friend who happened across them in a random place because they came out of Vancouver BC - BC generally being part of the PNW collective known as Cascadia)

I never connected with SP either, and I don't want to see people badly enough to put myself through an entire show. Oh well. I was interested in Ladytron, but we already have tickets for Love and Rockets and we're trying to minimize our crowd activity for Covid reasons and one show a month is enough. All the concerts are happening at once, of course.
