except for the 10 inches of snow yesterday [and being at work for 10 hours as a result of said snow] things have been good, got a sizable tax refund so now im getting a 3rd shirt and some hats that make me laugh made, met a girl, fixed my bike, building up a second bike with spare parts, want to buy my old spare parts bike back also, bought too many cds again, and records from austria, and effects pedals, saw and incredible show at monkey mania last sunday where mr pacman, the show is the rainbow, justice yeldham and the dynamic ribbon device, dave philips, parts and labor, and other peoples children played, all great for varied reasons:

mr. pacman- played a special “mr pacman goes to jamaca” set with rasta themes and costumes, including one guy in a large, godzilla-like rubber crab suit.

the show is the rainbow-like and old cex [wandering throught the crowd style] show mixed with tracy and the plastics-esq video/live interaction.

dynamic ribbon device-now i can say ive seen a bare foot austrailian guy play a sheet of glass, a belt of effects pedals, a mouth full of ky-jelly and his face. then eat the glass, cut up his face, and smash it on the ground and dance on it [remember the barefoot part?] then i got a one of a kind blood/face print 7inch from him.

dave philips-incredible live noise with a amazing video projection about both animal abuse and its similarities to mass culture and conveyorbelt living. too bad most just thought it was a pro-vegan rant.

parts and labor-great noise rock form nyc who i had never heard of before, similar to lightning bolt crossed with wolf eyes, with some black dice thrown in.

other peoples children-two kids from the ftc that had to sneak out to play the show cause it was on a school night, i know ive seen both of them around at shows before, made me feel not so alone at being into noise in colorado.

and now im pissed cause other peoples children are better than me, but maybe i can track them down and they could do shows with me and nic, cause we’ve been playing a bunch and sound aweesome. going to binghampton ny for about 2 weeks in may, if anyone want to go on a bike roadtrip, get in touch.
