The Slow Gin Fizz

sort of. what started as a liveblog attempt via my phone quickly deteriorated into my typical drunken frustration with technology. BUT, i took notes! beer was cheap. italicized notes are cheryls. needless to say, SIC. hard to believe that career in journalism never worked out.

seriously, my comments read kinda negative, but this show was a hot blast.

• omg jumbalaya! Oh, meat. cornbread!
• organic cookies are stupid
• omg, they sell every can of beer ever!
• I LOVE JUG BANDS FROM STATEN ISLAND
• seriously, this is good stuff. is this what steampunk or pipe is?
• pat kiernan is doing trivia! he just said the word sexy!
• oh god, he said the lyrics to baby got back!
• ZELDA RUBENSTEIN DIED
• she’s like the wind…too soon
• he is talking about snuggies now
• PAT, JIAN LOVES YOU!
• jimmy fallon as neil young?
• oh, apparently this is a thing that happens. i’m not sure why it’s funny, but he does a good job of singing like neil young?
• and now he’s singing the fresh prince theme song. pop culture confuses me.
• oh. comedy.
• lisa worries she’s overshared about upcoming bathroom venture :0)
• chimey band starts their playing
• this bar needs stools
• i like banjo
• that’s a hat worth having
• NAPKIN
• let me know when you’re ready for another drink. CHERISHED! (?)
• i’m alright with goulash
• michael showalter, i don’t think i get you, but cheryl hearts you lots
• oh, she said you weren’t that great either
• ‘it’s that i’m drinking’
• chick in front of us us so excited to find out that sondre lurche lives in williamsburgh
• it’s like a better than ezra concert (said sondre)
• i think he’s kinda boring. but nice.
• todd barry. you look familiar. slightly less unfunny than the other guys.
• ha, he used the word boundryless. that’s funny.
• howie and maryellen would not enjoy this
• just give it to me and i’ll put it in
• (said by drunk dude in front of us) “dude, my dream girl. she’s bossy, and more importantly, she’s hot”
• the wrens actually rock. they should rock continuously throughout the songs though.
• too bad they’re named for a bird
• raucous noise
• most of my songs would be centered on ‘ping’
• wow, they’re covering Higher Ground. neato!
• ‘this is my least favorite song’ – lead singer of supergroup with the dude from the new pornographers
• so, apparently the theme of this concert was ‘the time of parasols’
• i honestly don’t remember anything about this band. the chick singer had a nice voice. but i think i was bored.
• seriously, did i miss something? we have electricity now, are jugs and banjos necessary?
• but more importantly, hot
• i probably would have enjoyed this more if the other acts weren’t so old timey and the theme wasn’t abused
• lisa’s red stripe is chock full
• alright guy, where’s lauren ambrose
• aw, ted leo is covering that sappy Sade song. it only kinda works.
• and it’s definately no ‘since you’ve been gone’
• he’s ok. i feel like my friends in bands are better than this.
• that’s the sound your bottom makes on the way to hitting wood
• OMG IT’S CLAIRE FROM SIX FEET UNDER AHHHHH
• i can’t believe i’ve seen her and billy’s band in the span of a month. sorry claire, i like billy’s singing more
• dude, she looks the same, so weird. and i’m reminded of the episode where she sings that musical number about pantyhose. she sings exactly the same.
• it’s ok. she has that really powerful ‘american idol’ voice that i hate because it’s strong but not necesarily pleasant sounding
• and it’s a swing band. i miss modern rock. and not brooklyn.
• awww, but the cover of ‘don’t think twice, it’s alright’ was adorable
• i’m so upset that fun. never showed up. fun., if you play, i will come!
