Envy me!

for I saw the Finn Brothers this evening in Central Park!

It was as you would expect: lots of Split Enz, Finn Brothers, and Woodface songs. Everyone sang "Four Seasons in One Day", and they opened with "Weather With You". It was a lovely evening, too, a bit breezy and warm and some worrisome clouds passed over without incident and we danced about and Neil is still God. Also, oddly, grown-up Seamus in my mind.

There isn't much more to say. calloocallay was here on Monday to catch up on Six Feet Under. We only watched the first half of that horrible "That's My Dog" ep and you know, it wasn't a bad ep before it went all pear-shaped. Yesterday I had a fun drunken sushi dinner with rubydebrazier. I am having a very good time getting to see Ruby one-on-one now that she's "local Ruby."

I watched the DNC, too, mostly on CSPAN so as to maximize the time watching speeches and white people dance to Wyclef, and minimize commentary. There is something about a political convention that is so intrinsically summery. Those odd vertical signs, those endless speeches from random "rising stars", Edwards and Kerry of course--Wendy's, how cute!--and my secret favourite part, the roll call of states. "Madam Chair, my name is so-and-so-you've-never-heard-of, and the land of these 25 Democrats past and present that I will list for you, home of the tallest haystack, where all the children are above average, proudly gives all of its 5 votes to The Next President of the United States John Kerry!" Hell YEAH, baby!

Wagons ho, or whatever, to all those off to Otakon!

Endless travel, can't remember where I've been, lying in this hammock, feeling tragic, the ones you cared so much about...

Why this week? Why couldn't they be in the northeast *next* week?

Current mood: consumed with jealousy and awaiting the imminent concert boots

Awww. Well, I wish you had been around as Moony's illness meant I had an extra ticket!

I was happy because they played One Step Ahead.

Speaking of which, did you look around at this journal while you were here? Notice the theme?

Three wishes for eternity, we've got some work to do!

(ie great theme! No, I didn't see it before!)

Ah, one step ahead. I fell in love with that 21 year old mop-topped cutie (gah!) 22 years ago. Am so old. And did I head baby elroy8 is now playing guitar? Man, I remember when he was eight and pudgy and so neville-esque!

I just finished watching the first season of Six Feet Under (now out on DVD) and I am hooked. And Nate... guh. Nate. yeah. Good show.

Yeah, Nate seems like your kind of guy. You'll need to get someone to tape you the rest, because it's totally addictive.

And the best thing about them of course, is that they come from my side of the globe. I know they are pretty big but I'm still surprised when an export from the Southern Hemisphere is easily recognised in a place like New York.

Really? Becasue there have always been Australian bands popular here. Jet is quite big right now, actually.

Four Seasons in One Day was the first tape I ever bought. You just made me remember it then :)) It was like a single, just had two songs on the tape :-?
