4AM or so Sat morning head out to pub in Santa Monica to watch Merseyside Derby with So-Cal Everton Group or at least part of it
635 or so, yay Jags! to rescue the draw.
745 or so head home after watching part of next matches and finishing my bacon and egg sandwich..as well as an imperial pint of Fullers. Hey, they opened early for us, I figured the least I could is buy something ;-)
Head home and arrive around 830 or so. Take nap and wake up around noon.
Head to Orange County Museum of Art. Quite interesting and try to do the whole all brain thing as listen to Naked Scientists podcast for the majority of it other than the A/V portions of the Avante-Garde exhibition
Realize that I'm fairly close to second run theater and turns out that 4PM showing of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is pretty much exactly right time based on my drive time from museum.
WOW. really impressed that for what seems like the first reeel (er, 14-20 minutes) has no "real" performers. So we are at the point that we can have non-human digital actors without the whole uncanny valley thing.
Head home. Find Facebook post from co-worker that he's going to be drumming for a band that he's a part time drummer in. This is around 730, ask him when there set time is and get the response around 10. I reply that I might make it but if I do I''m gonna need a nap so I end up waking up around an hour later and do indeed head out for the Airline Club or bar or something Airline.
Turns out they won't go on until midnight or so. I check out some of the other bands playing earlier sets and also realize that this is also a release party for a porn movie and that one of the stars" Necro Nicki is in attendance.
Watch and all girl umm, punk? band that Nicki is dancing for.
Then my co-worker's band hits the stage and seems that they were hand picked by said porn star. The Mentors...look them up.
Since I kind of want to see and take some pics of my drummer co-worker, I'm all but at the stage which leads to me being in the mosh pit, well, in it at times. My polo shirt wearing, all 125 lbs of me. Though not my first pit so generally survive the random elbow to the head, the inadvertent shot to my eye.
Concert as contact sport 8-) As chaotic as it sounds, there is a point that I loose my glasses as I get blindsided but one of my fellow concert goers sees me blindly feeling the floor and returns them to me.
All the while Necro Nicki has been dancing on stage while the Mentors play.
When there set ends, I hang around as I actually know the band. In the course of that, by virtue of hanging around the band, I get invited to unofficial after party a few blocks away.
I get kudos from the promo as she had noted that I was down in the pit. And then....given my asian background and my lack of black wearing, polo shirt wearing, well, I'm guessing that the's initial impression I give off..the promoter gives me kudos for hanging in the pit as she thought I was there for the porn.
*sigh* well, no I actually know the band, or parts of it at least.
But anyhoo...I tag along with parts of the band to the unofficial after party / house party and talk some with Nicki. Spend more time talking to the housemates including the entirely too young (24?) Cynthia. End up staying past the exit of the porn star, past the exit of the band. Just kind of hanging out with the housemates and Billy declares me a cool dude ;-)
Eventually leave and on the way home start looking for a Del Taco.
Having successfully found that and returned home....
Now sharing with y'all.
I had being good plans of going and running this morning (another 12) and starting around 6-630.
Given there's a 35 minute drive to the start of that loop as well as I'm still eating previously mentioned Del Taco, I don't think I'm making my self set start time of 630.
Hell at this point, no alarm to be set and I get up whenever I get up 8-)
