Shows and Shows

Went down to First Ave last night with Amy (Derrick cancelled) to check out Simian and Ladytron. Missed a bit of Simian as the opener cancelled and they must've moved up the schedule. Simian was pretty cool and I wanted to see them most. Ladytron was cool, too, and the packed crowd was way way into them, but really, they are rather monotonic automatons in their performance (even though it was fun). The boys have longer hair than the girls, but the girls are oh-so-cute in their little jackets and pants. I wanted to yell out, "come on, let go, get crazy, show some emotion" but I guess putting hands on hips and wiggling a bit is how they do it. Oh, and is there some kind of new trend with guys wearing old-man fuzzy hats or hunting hats or something? I noticed several in the crowd...
Afterwards Amy made me watch what she thinks is the best show on TV -- Gilmore Girls. I rarely watch TV as I'd rather create than consume but I'm game to check out things and I have to say that it really is a well-written/acted show. Snappy dialogue, intelligence and good humor. A reference to Michael Moore, even. Yeah, I guess I liked it.

bill, you didn't really miss too much, honestly. it was good, but not great. I expected a bit more "fun" from them. snogging? what exactly are you asking? the band they did not snog. the crowd they did not snog. neither here nor there, no snogging was to be found. unless it happened while I was not looking...

my pal mopsa is a big fan of the ole gilmore girls, too. she made me watch once, but i couldn't get over how fast the dialogue goes. i realize that's their schtick, but i couldn't get past it.
