Guster/Weekend Stuff
- My friend had her gum taken away from her during the purse search prior to entering the theater (Wiltern). She even had to spit out the piece she was chewing.
- Yet the people in front of us managed to bring pot in.
- And the Nada Surf guitarist with dreds was smoking a cigarette on stage. While playing guitar. And while singing. He just bugged.
- And everyone was allowed to bring in ping pong balls to throw on stage during The Airport Song.
- But gum? God forbid you bring gum.
- I didn’t get carded at the bar. My friend pointed out that was perhaps because most underage kids wouldn’t be ordering a vodka tonic. Whatever.
- Nada Surf was eh.
- Guster was off; something just wasn’t right.
- The audience was very low key, and there seemed to be a lot of new fans who didn’t know many of the songs.
- Adam rocked the trumpet during Ruby Falls.
- Barely anyone did the counting with their fingers during Barrel of a Gun.
Weekend:
- My drive down to San Diego was uneventful, as was my drive back.
- My parents’ house looks absolutely fabulous.
- It will look even better once the sinks are in. Yep, we had to wash our face/brush our teeth using the bathtub. This is the closest our family has ever come to camping.
The day of erev Yom Kippur, I frosted the sugar cookies I made up in LA. We took them to the break-the-fast the following day.- During erev Yom Kippur dinner I embarrassed my sister by offering her opinion on a dicussion neither of us were paying any attention to. Fortunately, I was forgiven for doing so the next day in shul.
- I took my medicine (that helps keep the tonsils/glands swelling down) on Yom Kippur on an empty stomach. Not the best move. About ten minutes before the shofar blowing, I started dry heaving and had leave services.
- As always, it was a fun weekend, even sans sinks. I’m going to visit again sometime next month before my surgery so I can hang out and see the finished house.
