Carroway and insomnia

Friday, 4 June 2004, 0:32 / Lauree

just got in a bit ago from seeing the second of three Carroway shows of this week.

last night at Jammin Java was good to see the full band plus keys.

tonight just Scott and Mike. I had second thoughts about going, but I’ve never been to the grog and tankard so I figure it’s easier to go some place alone when you know you will at least know one or two people who will talk to you for a little while at least.

my nights of insomnia have been getting to me. when I do sleep, I have recurring dreams that are mildly disturbing.

a beautiful full moon is shining tonight in a crystal clear sky full of a million stars…
I drove a longer way home to enjoy the night air a while more.

back home in jersey, I used to take long drives on nights like this, just listening to music and thinking.

I don’t really feel at home here, so I’ll probably lie awake again tonight thinking.

The Bigger Lovers visit DC!

A little bit of home visited me here in DC tonight. My great friends, The Bigger Lovers played an amazing set at DC 9 tonight and it felt so good to have some Philly love. I am really beginning to realize what I left behind in Atlantic City and Philly.

also, I got a nice letter from Michael from Hello from Waveland, a Seattle band I got to see at Galaxy Hut last year. I’m submitting their music to a production company who may use it for a new program they’re creating for Discovery Channel.

Fooled by April at Galaxy Hut!

Fooled by April were at Galaxy Hut tonight and it’s always good to see them esp. since at the Popfest last weekend I only got to say a drunken hello for 30 seconds, but they sounded so good.

It was nice to be out and about and know people and talk with people.

here’s a youtube playlist of some of their music!

Carroway acoustic at DC9

Saturday, 1 May 2004, 0:37 / Lauree

Scott and Mike played an acoustic set at DC9 tonight. I was so tired after shooting Andy’s film all day.

I like DC9. I just wish it was in a better part of town. I was kind of the only one there in time to see their set, and somehow I really didn’t even want to be there. I don’t know, hard to explain. I stayed a lot longer afterward than I had thought I would.

Apparently, those guys are having a party tomorrow night. We’ll see how the shoot goes tomorrow and if I’ll go.

Dewey Beach Popfest

Sunday, 25 April 2004, 21:03 / Lauree

Janice and I spent the weekend in Dewey Beach, DE for the Popfest and I’m glad we could go. It’s always bittersweet when you get to see people you used to see all the time. Many friends’ bands played and I was really happy to be among so many friends, it almost became too overwhelming.

I tried to gather those who were there the whole weekend together for breakfast or lunch or whatever. The only one who seemed to be interested was Brian, so we were up early on Saturday for breakfast at Friendly’s. That was good stuff.

Saturday was spent doing much of nothing, since it was too cold for the beach. 🙁

Saturday evening, I indulged in some drinking but kept it to light beer. I still managed decent intoxication, but I think the light beer helps keep a hangover to a minimum. It’s a theory at least.

returning home to arlington was rough. the drive killed me and I almost fell asleep driving a few times. not only that, but to come back here after leaving a weekend of friends was just a huge letdown. I suppose I’ll figure it out.

at least I got home to see the FLYERS game. living in Capitals country, I hardly get to see FLYERS’ games anymore.
