Spent the entire Sunday on the couch, catching up on dvr'd television (Torchwood, Heroes, The Dresden Files) and Netflix rentals (Rescue Me, Jackpot). Last night's show in Mount Prospect was quite enjoyable on many levels (like I'm gonna kiss and tell! Come on now...). For one, my old boss from 15 years ago came out with his wife and while time did not permit too much catching up, we are certain to do so shortly after the holidays. The woman affectionately known as EG came out as well, bringing a friend who I also met at Riot Fest back in mid-November. Time/work/distance has prevented us from spending too much time together, and we agreed to rectify this pronto (some of which was done in...er, private.)
ZTS headlined a 4 band bill, and the opening band were fronted by a guy I went to high school with. We had a few mutual friends but he was always kind of a prick. Time seems to have mellowed him out. We went on at midnight and made quite a few jaws drop. Following the end of our set, I talked to a promoter from the Bloomington-Normal area about a potential show at ISU in early '08. As we loaded out, we were greeted to a sheets of ice covering everywhere we walked. Naturally, this made for a delayed departure and by the time our gear was loaded out and EG's and my car were scraped off, it was after 3:00 AM.
Over twelve hours of sleep last night and I'm ready to crash again. Bring on the week.
