"All music is folk music. I ain't never heard no horse sing a song." Louis Armstrong

This city is great for music. I honestly need to stop looking at show line-ups or else i'm going to end up LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER. I randomly got to see a pretty stellar Joy Division cover band one night when I was out (lead singer totally committed to all the mannerisms of Ian Curtis, kind of funny and a bit awkward looking).
Sunday night was a great show at my new favorite spot in the city called Bottom of the Hill. It's a low-key venue equipped with cheap beer and outdoor smoker's garden (not that I smoke, I swear).
Horse Feathers: I highly recommend this band to anyone, and not just because it has the word horse in it OK GABI. It would have been a great show but unfortunately the band had all gotten sick on the road and ended playing about 5 or so songs...total bummer, I wanted to hear so much more. What can I say, I have a major weakness for sweet-voiced, flannel shirt-wearing, bearded men with guitars. The night was still completely worthwhile, I enjoyed some QT with another great musician who came with me due to my intense ravings about the band. He plays the fiddle and is beard-less so his standing in my world is still unknown: )
Next up is a show tomorrow night at the same fabulous venue and the band is Vetiver, a band I got into a while ago in college yet still haven't gotten the chance to see live. Rob gives two thumbs up and he is one picky asshole so its got to be good!
Tomorrow is the first and probably last day off and free for a long time. Going to hang in Dolores park with some good company, including the pup and possibly a bottle of wine, hopefully the fickle SF weather will delight us with some nicer weather, but probably not.

Oh and lastly, my mom says that my blog is becoming "sophomoric" due to my rantings about alcohol consumption and public urination. But as I was looking up how to spell sophomoric (I know i'm ashamed) I happened to glance at the thesaurus and it read "brash, foolish, reckless and naive". Ummm, yup, all of the above sound about right for me and my life right now. I will see what I can do mommadukes but those words ring so true.
