And that Peter Buck was most definitely not embarrassed. My blood pressure is soaring. I felt kind of sick when I heard that RH and the V3 were opening for this concert that I didn't even really want to go to tomorrow night (this will be my swan song - I am pretty sure that this will be my last Decemberists concert, and that makes me sad in a way because they used to mean so much to me). Arggh. On a good note (I sort of want to tell this story and sort of don't), James Mercer personally handed me the setlist after the Shins show at the Orpheum in Boston two+ weeks ago. It was a great night. Jill ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:59:42 -0700 From: "Nectar At Any Cost!"

She started on the highest level, and could basically keep playing until the batteries ran out. She wore my Gameboy out, and needed surgery on her thumb to repair tissue damage from repetitive stress injury. After that, she lost interest.

Shouldn't that be "right back *off* the fucking wagon"? But either way, I can sympathize; I've had a similar experience with the Civilization series of computer games.

BTW, my least favourite robyn shirt: the polka dot shit, by a country mile. also, doesn't peter buck always look like however it is that he always looks? - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 13:46:26 -0700 From: Carrie Galbraith Subject: Re: Tower show (50% RH) On Jun 9, 2009, at 1:03 PM, lep wrote: > > BTW, my least favourite robyn shirt: the polka dot shit, by a > country mile. > WHICH polka dot was that again???? ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 19:52:23 -0500 From: michael wells Subject: Re: Mini-Reviews! > but now this new low frequency in stereo disc is just fucking my shit *up* -- so i think i'm okay for another year or two.
