It's been another long while since I've posted, but I am seriously thinking of picking it up seriously again. We have been spending a great deal of time in clubs lately, I'm feeling a lot less self conscious about picking up where I was in my early twenties here in my late thirties and just having fun. Drinking whiskey and listening to bands is fun, and it's okay to have fun. We went out twice this week. Tuesday night we took the kids to Club Congress to see a great lineup: Tucson's own Mission Creeps, I Am Ghost, Charley Horse, and then the headliners Horrorpops. It was so much fun. The kids had a great time in the mosh pit and D and I hung out in the Adult Cage where we could drink and keep an eye on them but let them have some freedom and fun. There were a surprising number of kids from the school there I loved all the bands except I Am Ghost and actually I enjoyed them for about 2 songs before I was through with them. I'd never heard them before so maybe they just didn't fit in with the psychobilly lineup. Then last night was the TRD awards ceremony and we stayed downtown wandering back and forth between the Surly Wench and Club Congress listening to mediocre bands between the two. The just as we were going to go home we stopped back into Congress and saw All The Pretty Horses which was so much fun. There were just a handful of people in the audience but the band was amazing to watch. Six foot plus transgender Venus deMars was gorgeous to watch and can really sing and the music was lovely, powerful, and thoughtful, just bass, guitar, and drums. They sounded a bit like The Cult with some Hedwig and the Angry Inch thrown in. Anyway, D and I have been talking about playing music for months, but I've haven't even picked up my bass. Maybe tonight.
