Music and Substance Abuse

It's entirely possible I have a drinking problem. Boozing it up for five out of the last seven days probably constitutes a "bad indicator." However, it has yet to interfere with work/band activites, so perhaps I have a window of redemption available...

...fuck redemption.

One of these drunken evenings was spent at the Starland Ballroom in scenic Sayreville, NJ. I had spent considerable time there in my younger years when it was called Hunka Bunka. Lately, it's become a stop for some more established acts. I have tickets to see Skid Row on the 24th, and Aimee Mann on the 26th (who I consider to be the Joni Mitchell of my generation). Argue that point with me if you want...I don't give a fuck.

The two bands I had the pleasure of seeing on that fateful night were stellastarr* and Nada Surf. If you have the opportunity to see them locally, I strongly recommend you do so. There is no greater joy than seeing good live music, and these bands put on a great show.

That is all for the moment. I'm going to finish the last 3 beers I have in the fridge and then crash till morning. I 'm supposed to visit the parental units tomorrow. They hate it when I don't show up.

I'll blame it on the booze.
