Now Playing: The Kinson - track 3
Thanks to Andy for burning this Kinison EP, it's fucking incredible. He also burned me the Libertines, and I'm so digging that too.
And Of course, Jon was kind enough to burn me like 15 CDs. I am in love with Sage Francis and Quasimoto. D-Rocc told me a little about Quasimoto, and I'm totally fascinated wih him now.
So, I spent the weekend in So Cal with Juawana, Sara, Dre, Andy, and the lovely Megan. We had such a great time. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure all day Saturday, Social Distortion at the HOB Anaheim Saturday night, and Los Angeles on Sunday. The weather was exquisite and the company was perfect.
It was so great to spend time away from Vegas wih my best friends, my girls, and my lovely Miss Megan.
I tried on my suit for Andy's wedding, and I must say, it looks pretty sharp. If I knew how to, I'd put a link up right here to show you a picture of the suit, but I'm not that proficient in the ways of the Diaryland. Trust me though, they're badass suits.
A not-so-quick trip to Ameoba allowed me to pick up a few things I've been after. Also, a raid of Dre's unwanted CDs, and a for-the-most-part-cool selection of CDs from Andy (I just can't forgive you for the A Simple Plan or Trey Anastacio CDs) made my music haul this weekend quite impressive. Here's what I nabbed:
From Amoeba:
Drag The River "Closed" CD
Against Me! "The Disco Before The Breakdown" CD
Duvall/Seville "This Time Everything is Mine" Spilt CD

I miss Megan so much. We had a lovely visit, and it scares me not knowing when I'll be able to see her again.
And hanging out with Dre and Andy again is making that possible move to L.A. sound pretty damn good.
And when I got back into town, I checked my messages. Here's what one said:
"Hey Ryan, it's Lindsay...you know, Spade's manager..."
Um yeah, that'd be David Spade's manager calling me at home. Holy shit, DAVID FUCKING SPADE! I met Lindsay and Spade in May or June when I took care of David for the Norm MacDonald show at HOB. David, in turn, put me on the list for his own show the next night. Anyways, she was calling to see if I could hook them up for the club on Saturday night at HOB, which I could have, but I was out of town. Anyways, I called her back and told her that I was out of town, and that next time it'd be no problem.
Lunch time.
