oh, go for it then

what was expecting to be a quick vegan curry turned into fun last night.

after a meeting in shibuya, deciced to wander about to azabu and go see my friends running the club super-deluxe for some vegan curry. i don't really follow what they're doing on a daily basis (since i get in for free anyway.....), but they were having some bands play in the "punk rock" sense of diy and we don't give a shit what you think.......

one of them was this band with drums and sitar

then my friend mai played solo on guitar and bass, improv all the way. i was bored and had an urge, so did sound for him, no rehearsal, nothing. it's fun doing live sound, you get to commit on the spot and get the fuck out once you're done. i helped design the sound system at the club, so i had an advantage as well......wanted to test out the new extra speakers they've had for a while. still isn't loud and clear enough as i would like, but 4 is better than 2.

then i hung out with some girls in the kitchen, which is my favorite spot in the place. it used to be better when i still smoked, setup my bish ashtray there and talk bs. i sometimes clean the dishes at the kitchen as a hobby, sometimes fry stuff in the fryer, is that what it's called? do stuff i would never do at home........most of the crowd were too young and hip for my liking anyway. held discussion about cabbage amongst other things with the girls. talking to girls is usually a lot better for perspective.

then this band went on, drummer and flourescent light player.

kinda sounded like nine inch nails without the vocals, very cyber, industrial, william gibson. the lights sounded interesting.

here's a video of them

kinda got bored of the whole machismo, so buggered off home. during the cab ride, the bit of chinese lizard liquor i had a few drops of earlier had an interesting effect on my mind........i'm an alchoholic!

smells rather interesting, this stuff

maybe try the terrapin drink next time. i'm allergic to alcohol but have started to dabble with it by licking drops of it. it started maybe a year, maybe a bit longer ago, where i, for the sake of curiosity, stuck my finger inside a friend's drink and tasted the drop. this actually seems to do the trick for me. 3 or 4 drops of anything usually makes me unwind. the folks at the bar know of this allergy, so they didn't want me messing with strong stuff, but i knew i was in capable hands. besides, i didn't feel like having a coke.

the alcohol made me feel kinda like this

tadpoles. i want a few of those, could i maybe knick them off of the wall?

nah............
