nobody updated the wiki page, so i actually didn't realize there's new songs.

my impression of the new material i heard at the show is that it is actually a little bit riffier in a grungey or no-wavey kind of way. it had more of a dirty, southwestern sort of sound, at the expense of the scifi or the surf. if they were always morricone-meets-dale-at-a-ramones-concert, the show seemed to stress the morricone and the ramones more than previous work.

but, man or astroman aren't known for evolving, and you do expect it to basically sound the same, and it does. 

i made it home alive tonight, thankfully.

the rain kind of sucked, but i worked it out.

i wanted to stop at villain's to talk, but i forgot that they're closed on mondays...

i'm tentatively planning for wednesday as well, weather dependent. i think it's probably going to be too cold on friday.

i'm going to hop in the shower and probably zonk out, and i'm going to leave the show review until after i can talk to somebody and clarify what happened.

to be clear: i'm not worried about anything, really. i was told they called the police to escort me home for my own safety, because they thought my clothing put me at a risk to get assaulted (which is victim blame-y and weird). the bartender ended up driving me home. i'm not getting any bad vibes, i don't think. i'm pretty sure i was just completely unable to move, and that's really the sum total of the concern. 

but, i don't know if i was out for thirty minutes or three hours, and i need to figure that out before i can order time for the night. and, whether i got drugged or something else, i need to apologize, nonetheless - even if i end up with a negative review for calling the cops during bar hours, if that happened.
