Happy Valentine's Day! FUCK OFF!!! hahaha The birthday party the Vegascendents played @ the Beauty Bar last night was for Señor Chris Duggan, guitarist extraordinaire for Unfair Fight, and who's also turning into a pretty damn good drummer for TheCore. :-) It was the Big 3-0 for him, which I don't even remember turning hahaha, and the get together was cool as fuck! There was some grub there that I didn't even touch, opting instead to indulge in these AMAZING cupcakes that were there, White Russian flavored ones in honor of The Big Lebowski, these margarita flavored ones for the Catalina Wine Mixer, and some incredible banana flavored ones that were for some other movie reference that I've forgotten. I popped a couple of those in my mouth and had no problem playing a Vegascendents set. ;-) Besides seeing everyone walking around in these creepy looking party hats that were made up of Chris's smiling face, the highlight of the evening was seeing Mercy Music play. It was a Beardcore thing, and I avoided it like the plague, because, well let's face it, acoustic guitars are for boring old fucks, but apparently Brendan decided to rawk out with his cawk out once again, and got Jarred on bass to help him and some wool cap wearing Hipster on drums to bring it all together, and it was really good. Better than Absent Minded, not as good as Deadhand. :-) A little bit slower, a little bit more 'accessible', but I dug it. I told Bob, and I told this to Brendan afterwords as well, that if I thought Mercy Music sucked, we were leaving after 3 songs! LOL Thankfully they didn't and Thankfully I stuck around to hear their entire set. Really good stuff. Now I know why lame Scenesters hearts are all aflutter about this band. I feel like such an elitist Downtown dooshbag now! hahahahaha Yeah... just wanted to jump on here and put down in words how great last night's little get together was. Solid friends, beyond compare cupcakes (who was responsible for those? I wanna have your baby), and some lovely new tunes from some Friends that I have nothing but Love L-U-V for. Couldn't think of a better way to spend a Thursday. <3 Happy Birthday Chris! Your party was a doozy! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready to go see Dion at the Orleans... yeah, this is how I'm spending my Valentine's Day. Worst. Valentine's Day. EVER!! hahahaha
