Shopping and The Rock N Roll Weekend Fires Up

Last night we had a night off from rock 'n roll, which I think was well deserved and certainly well received by us both. [smile]

It's two weeks since we moved in, and today was our first big shop since being in town. We've been doing fine, but the past few days the lack of food options has become increasingly noticeable. I guess priorities are obvious - rock first, eating, well that's an after thought. [wink] But it was good to get that scheduled in, and see the fridge looking kinda healthy for the first time. I picked up some rolls at Albertsons, and while they weren't the absolute best I've ever had by Australian standards, they were by far the best rolls I've had in the US so far, hence I had a fucking glorious late lunch today!

The weekend music schedule is about the fire up again for the end of the week. Tonight it's Velvet Elvis, featuring "the amazing drum stylings of Phillip Rhodes" (to quote myspace). Despite my earlier thoughts, it's probably just Elvis and no Violet Wild. In any case, I've very interested to see Norman on stage again! Tomorrow night, potentially Elvis Before Noon. Saturday night, Los Guys and Dead Hot Workshop. I'm really looking forward to this, since we missed the Dead Hot show last month, and it's been 3 odd years since that faithful night I saw my last Dead Hot show. Really can't wait! It's going to be pretty cool to see Los Guys too. Really need to study up on the new record between now and then! The show is also at the Sail Inn, so it also means that I finally get to go to the Sail Inn, something I've wanted to do for so long, but haven't managed to do. Afterwards, if all the planets align correctly we'll catch my first decent set of Strange Young Things at Yucca. It may require some intervention of the gods when it comes to scheduling though, since when comparing the frequency of playing out, Dead Hot absolutely needs to take preference.

Then Sunday afternoon it's a safe bet to say we'll be seeing Elvis Before Noon again.
