Long Weekend

Lots of music this weekend. We missed LTJ Bukem last night, but there's still plenty to come. Tonight is a Bex show when we go to see Death Cab For Cutie. I've liked what I've heard that she's played for me and am looking forward to seeing what their live show is like.

Tomorrow night is all for me, as Robert Randolph & The Family Band are in town. For some reason the show is outdoors. Why anybody would schedule an outdoor show in Kansas City in the middle of October is beyond me. The forecast is a high of 57°, and the show doesn't start until 8:00, and that's the warm up band. Randolph problably won't go on until 10:00 at the earliest, and it'll probably be in the low 50s or high 40s by then. Don't you have problems keeping instruments in tune when it gets that cold? Poor planning, and Robert Randolph deserves better. Maybe they'll come to their senses and put Jackopierce outside so that Rob can have the Beaumont. One can hope. Otherwise, we'll be bundled up for the show.

Sunday is for Bex again, Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey. We went to see Sonic Youth in Columbia in August. As a matter of fact, it was after that show that I smoked the last cigarette I've had. Anyway, I don't know much Sonic Youth, but they put on a pretty good live show in August (what of it I saw), so I'm looking forward to seeing them again.

Also, I have to work in a showing of Team America: World Police and design my deck this weekend. Anybody seen Team America yet?

I missed the sneak preview last weekend. I may catch it tonight after Rosie goes to bed.

Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey sounds pretty good. I'm surprised Sonic Youth did not take off like many of their peers.

Hey, I was at the Columbia show, too. I'll be there tonight. If you get this in time, check my 'blog for a pic of what I look like (at bottom of righthand column). Say hi if you see me.
