Internal monologue at Ponys show.

Sparks sure does give you some thick spit. But I’m awake now. The Ponys rock. He’s channeling Thurston Moore quite well. Jesus, who farted? Am I only attracted to the bassist because she’s a bassist? And why do I feel a strong desire to snuggle with her? Shouldn’t I be thinking about doing it? She is snuggle-able though. I should buy this record, most definitely.

$3 is a little steep for a PBR. Didn’t I just buy a PBR a few minutes ago? I should just buy two at once.

That was awesome. The only way they could have been better is if they’d smashed up their equipment during that prolonged feedback at the end. Must definitely buy this record.

Hey, the bassist is selling CDs herself. Should I bring up snuggling? No, I should just ask for a CD. These rock stars live such itinerant lives anyway. What’s the point? Could I be a roadie? A groupie? Do they even have boy groupies?

My god these people are young. Holy shit it’s crowded. Did somebody just cop a feel on me? Sweet.

Wow, I want to chew on your hair. It looks like the most delicious food. Can I growl at you? Maybe I should just look at the ground.

Did I miss a band while I was outside on the phone? Chromeo? I thought it was just noise from the PA.

That is the cutest fucking nose-ring.

The Unicorns aren’t nearly as bad as I thought they’d be. But what’s with the ponchos? I could use a poncho. But they aren’t terribly flattering. I don’t think I could work that into my official outerwear rotation. The parka is waterproof anyway. But maybe I should add a lighter waterproof jacket to the lineup? The blue leather coat smells like rot. The black one’s buttons have all fallen off, which is definitely a plus, style-wise, but a negative on the whole practicality front. The green one is awesome, but you can’t fit anything in the pockets. So maybe there is room in the rotation for another jacket. I haven’t bought a coat in, what, four months?

These guys must be kinda dull, even with the pink capes, if I’m thinking about my coats. I’d better just go home and start thinking about which jacket to wear tomorrow…

didn't hear a lick of it. they apparently took the stage right when i walked out to make a phone call and were done when i came back in. my cell phone says my call lasted 18 minutes and 9 seconds. so i couldn't have missed too much. is it possible that they only played 20 minutes? or was i stuck in some kind of time vortex? maybe it was the sparx...
