Weekend Update

So one of the Superfriends and I went to see DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist. We met up with one of the other Superfriends and she and all of her coolness hooked us up with some free beer (YEA for Free Beer!!). We then headed down to the showbox sodo for some good times. We see a van parked outside that says 'kube 93' what the heck is that radio station doing at a show like this. Well the opening act (if you can call them that) sucked horribly. So we sat and drank PBR Tallboys (see below photo).

Enter DJ Shadow... now myself and the superfriend that was with me turned me onto DJ shadow in the first place. I've wanted to see this guy live for well... ever. Well they do this funny intro talking about they'll be spinning real 45's all night. A 45 for those of you who don't know is referring to a record. So 20 minutes into it I'm wondering what the deal is I haven't recognized a single thing thus far. At 90 minutes into it I look at the superfriend and we say screw it and leave. So after years of waiting to see one of my favorite artists I am sadly disappointed that not a single lick of what I've known was played.

Now you ask, well David maybe you haven't kept up on his music. Well actually I have and so has the other superfriend and he didn't recognize any of the tunes either. Now it wasn't a bad show, but a show lacking any of his old/current music.

So we split and decide to hit Dicks Burgers on the way home. So Kevin and I are leaning up against the back of his car grubbing on some wonderful burgers. A rather rotund Seattle cop walks out the back door of the fine establishment with a large box under his arm. I'm tracking him the whole way from the door to the vehicle he is going to. He notices me and yells out "Haven't you ever seen a cop before". I respond with "Yeah, I've seen a cop before". He retorts "What are you looking at" and I respond "Just Curious to what you're doing". At this point I give up because I'm slightly drunk and figure if this diatribe goes much further I'm going to risk getting arrested by an off duty cop. The thing that pisses me off is he most likely is getting/taking food from Dicks for him and his stupid as buddies. He didn't stand in line/didn't pay etc.. We finish up, get in the car and split before this cop decides to be a real prick.


BTW - we are both still sober in this photo.
