i hung out a little bit at 186 on friday, pre-les savy fav, and had such a fun time watching karl call into the "tana time" tv show like eight times in a row. this show was airing on manhattan neighborhood network, and the stuff that kyle was throwing at her was so funny, i was on the floor several times in uncontrollable laughter. did anyone else watch it? if you click through to her show above, you'll see her show description is: "I can’t tell you the concept for the show, there is no time. Because it’s Tana Time, Tana Time."

on friday, les savy fav was fun and crazy, but not in the same way as the olden days. tim harrington was wild, but not as wild as he used to be. but that doesn't mean i don't love. i still do. as well as the rest of les savy fav. a highlight of the evening for me was when they sang "adopduction." that's such a scream-along song. "kidnapped! i dreamed i was kidnapped!"

thunderbirds are now! were a lot of fun too. kind of like a ROCK go! team or something. lots of people running on and off stage with all sorts of instruments. i guess new french kiss records signing rahim was the same way but i only caught their last song. they sort of reminded me of the rapture... the drummer took one of his drums and marched around the stage banging it at the end of their set...

poor fred armisen (from snl) totally bombed that night because his projector wasn't working. that sucks!! i was so drunk at the end of the night that i couldn't make it to the afterparty at lolita. i hopped in a cab, went home, and passed out.



on saturday, i woke up so early, got some work done, and then headed into the city to meet up with doug's friend doug who i have deemed "doug the lawyer." i walked around the howl festival a little bit around tompkins square park and ran into kyle and dan at the mud truck. i've never had mud truck coffee before but it was excellent. i definitley recommend... doug and i went to see the new minutemen documentary, we jam econo, at anthology film archives. while the story was in essence good, and the footage of the band performing live was great, something felt a little unpolished about it -- but perhaps that's ok.



then afterwards we headed to queens to hang out at ps1's "warm up" saturdays. i had no idea what i was in for. i went to hang out a little bit with my friend tom who was bartending -- but then i realized when i got there that there would be no hanging out. there were like at least 1000 people there. it was madness. doug and i said a quick hello to tom who was fiercely pouring beers. then we went into the galleries to check out the art. there were three levels. the building used to be a school, so it was like classroom after classroom of art. and while the art was entertaining and interesting (sometimes), i was more into watching the diverse group of people there. there was an entire jam-packed crowd outside dancing to some bad house music (or whatever). then there were a bunch of people just sitting around on the ground. and there were tons of people walking around the exhibits. hot fashionistas and scuffy indie rock boys everywhere. i guess this is where they all go on saturdays...

on sunday, since i didn't really get to hang out with him on saturday, i met up with tom for brunch and then we went to see 40 year old virgin. that shit was hilarious. i want to own it on dvd -- that and wedding crashers and napoleon dynamite. my days of boredom would be over if i owned these on dvd.
