Fearless
Picnic in Mission Bay on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The sun is shining bright, the beer is nice and chilled, the grass - a carpet green...Spectre is great. Angie, Chris, Carol, Tim, Kaitlin, Stacy, Adrien, Marie and I are playing silly games. Breathing fresh air. Drinking fresher beer.
Back to Angie's place for some unbelievably delicious home cooking, and then Chuck and I are off to the Aero Club to meet Bello, Lorin, Brian and Mayte. Haven't been to the Aero Club in such a long place. Nice dive bar.
Next we head down to the Casbah to see Ambulance LTD. I saw them a couple of months ago and was impressed. But second time's the charm. Was left wanting more. More more more! The song craftsmanship, the guitar riffs, the melodic harmonies, the emotional delivery...give me more. And if all that was not good enough, they had to play one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs - "Fearless". I am not a fan of covers, but this one was done perfect. I loved it!
Mingled a bit and ran into Edwin and Tim Pyles. Had a great chat with Tim Mays. Also caught a couple of songs from Elefant's gig. I hear garage music reminiscent of The Psychedelic Furs and even The Smiths, and I see David Bowie stage antics. Not bad.
It's after midnight and the mind body and soul are tireless. Ready for more. We meet B2 at the Thin Room. DJ Zeus is spinning some bouncy house music. His set included an interesting remix of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" and the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right (To Party)". The Thin room is hip yet comfy. The atmosphere makes me think of the inside of a refrigerator. But instead of everything being frozen, everything's boiling. At closing time, on the way out, we run into the Bulgarian party heads celebrating Daniel's birthday. Happy Birthday Daniel!
The closer for the night is a bing bang - Saeed & Palash live at L5. Tribal. Rugged. Heavy. Dark. Warm. Fuzzy. Powerful late night club music. Makes the packed house look like a basket filled with hundreds of fish out of water, fighting for their lives, yearning for air, hungry for action. This is their shot in the arm. And this is our good-night farewell.
