DPC

The last few weeks have beat me down. It was crazy sauce.

The other night I went to see Driftless Pony Club. They're on tour and came through town. I decided to not miss an opportunity to meet someone who feels like they are in a different universe. I understand that they are just people who make videos. However, I am looking into the lives of people who aren't my personal friends and don't live around me. That feels strangely intimate to me which makes me desire to meet them. Plus I have this thing for live music.

The venue was an coffee house, apropos for the front man who has a catchphrase "I love it when the coffee's done." I loved the vibe of the place and have decided to get my friends back over there sometime. Unfortunately for the band (fortunately for me as I'm an old woman at heart), the band received some noise complaints and had to turn down the volume for their set after maybe two songs. Personally I felt the sound was more rounded that way. Let me explain, the venue was this small concrete basement. With the sound up so high all you heard was an overload of instruments and no vocals. Once the volume came down I could hear the songs being sung. Though it was sad to see that the drummer had to be turn it down. I've recently fallen in love with watching drummers do their thing.

The guys in the band were comedians at heart. They were cracking jokes in between songs. The bassist decided that he was rocking too hard to be on stage. He just backed off the stage, playing all the while. He back about ten feet into the crowd just because. I enjoyed watching them play. I also enjoyed meeting them afterwards. I got to talk to one of the guys about creepy pictures and stage a picture for the heck of it. I also failed to check a picture I took with another guy. I was so disappointed to find that picture was blurry.

Always check your photos or just get better at taking them.

Conversations get you great things.
