oh my god. i went to see david dondero/azure ray/crooked fingers last night. who knew?? who knew indeed. they were great and this show was far more intimate than the last time i saw azure ray. orenda was sick and i totally told her to pass out because it would have been awesome. crooked fingers also puts on a really good show and the azure ray girls filled in for most of the songs and i realized later that the guys from crooked fingers filled in for most of the azure ray set. one guy jumped all around the stage during the crooked fingers set and played a lap pedal steel or whatever. i want one of those. also, maria did that thing where she played all the instruments again. though, i sort of realized that it was just three: guitar, bass and trumpet. unless you count the roland DJ as an instrument.

also, inexplicably, restaurant girl was there. if you were keeping track, i asked if i could accidentally meet her somewhere else and it seems that i totally did. she seriously gave me her phone number and we made some sort of vague tentative plans to hang out. though, she is leaving to go to art school in SF (of all places) in a month. SO WHATEVER. i would mention her name but i don't trust any of you!
