Action Action

So, despite my cold and the cold, I decided to go see Action Action at the Blind Pig last night. I got there while Men, Women & Children were still playing which was kind of cool. I can't say I knew much of their stuff other than the song "Lightning Strikes Twice in New York" but they were entertaining and put on a good show. I knew a tiny bit more about Action Action and I'm really glad I went to see them, because I definitely like their stuff. It was fun being at such an intimate show too. I feel bad for the bands because there really weren't too many people there (maybe the cold? maybe the fact that it was a tuesday night and all the students are getting ready for finals??) but it also made it sort of feel like the show was just for you. Anyways, Action Action played "Drug Like" and "Let's Never Go to Sleep" off their last album as well as a bunch of songs that will be on their new cd out in about a month. Yeah, so, really glad I saw them. I think I'd be kicking myself if I had chickened out.

I forgot to mention that I saw "Rent" over the weekend. It was really good--definitely different from the stage version which I've seen twice, but I still enjoyed it (and cried, of course). I'd recommend it even if there are some things I think miss as a result of being put on celluloid, but I guess that's the way it goes.

Heading off to DC bright and early Friday morning, zillions of things to do before then and not much time to do it, but I'm psyched about being down there and seeing people (and it can't possibly be colder there than it is here, so, bonus).
Ok, I think it should be bedtime,
Ciao (and check out Action Action),
