BJM jamming early

I don’t want to go home yet. I want to be in a large room surrounded by mostly comfortably numb strangers feeling the groovy love vibrations for another night. Alas NO. Tomorrow we must begin our long journey home.

We did a chunk of it this afternoon, as we’re visiting our lovely and generous friends Allie & Tiger in Pacifica.

I’m not in a hurry to go home. Though I miss my doggies.

I’m exhausted. It’s 5am and 60 minutes ago Anton and the band were still jamming. I don’t even think I’m making sense and I just wanted to post a photo just to say I was there and it was way intense!! Must sleep now.

BJM Little Radio show 4 20 06 woohoo!

Wow. Last night’s show blew my mind. I’m still recovering. Incredible set; tons of songs, top notch sound. No crazy melt-downs; just awesome vibes flowing everywhere. I swear, at one point I started having an out-of-body experience… I was like whoa I’m hearing voices. Wow. I know they’re f***ing awesome, but I didn’t really I’d actually ascended into the heavens… alas it was just the organ on stage I hadn’t noticed before. Then I felt kind of silly. For the most part, in my opinion anyway, BJM is really about the vibe. Love vibes mostly, whether they are happy, sad, angry or excited… And when they get into it, that’s all you can feel - just straight up love vibes everywhere.

L.A. is trippy and the scene at the club was so way different than what I’m used to in Portland. Though for the most part, people give you lots of space and are, by and large, quite polite, there were some seriously whacked out people traipsing around, invading my personal space and generally weirding me out. I’m not used to this strange town. I’m so Portland. I might as well have it tattooed on my forehead.

Around 2:30pm I could barely stand. I couldn’t believe it myself, me - Ms Self Proclaimed Obsessed with BJM Fan - me; I had to leave before the set was over. God knows how much longer they played. I walked out as they were playing ‘Swallowtail’. It was cool hearing it outside though. Little Radio Warehouse, from what I can tell, is in the smack middle of Industrial Nowheresville in Central Downtown L.A. There’s no one to be bothered by the noise. Then again, that started to wig me out, feeling so isolated in such a big city surrounded by total strangers and no one really knowing where we were…

Yeah!! Another show tonight. SOOO EXCITED!!!!! ANTON ANTON ANTON

After we left Bill & Kathy’s, it got dark fast and things got weird.

The sea of lights around us faded into distant twinkles, then… nothing. No exits. No civilization. I thought I heard the engine sputter. The stereo burped and I suddenly felt a painful pang in my ear drum.

Miles after we passed Crow’s Landing I got chills. I saw a closed weigh station baring a sign reading "No Stopping Allowed".

We drove on until we couldn’t keep our eyes open any longer. I’m not sure where we are now, what town anyway. I do know I’m here on one of the queen beds in our rather spacious Best Western suite. This is where I’m writing. Maybe you’ll hear from me again. I hope so.

Road fatigue? Alas, it’s got me in it’s clutches.

Check it out people. Pity me. I’m a mess. So I got this dental work done a few weeks back. Now I’m in pain. Tremendous wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night tooth pain. WTF???!! Actually, I feel more like )(#F(*$&)U@*#_@+(*#C@)$#K(*$&%_(^. I finally got the dentist to give me some pain killers and sadly, I must go back next week for… god knows what. I don’t care now. Just make the pain go away. MAKE IT GO AWAY.

But damn it if the Vicodin doesn’t make me feel like hell. Sure there’s no tooth pain, but a sickening sort of nausea. BLECH. I thought pain killers were supposed to be fun…?

Only 72 hours before we’re on the road to L.A. HOLY SMOKES. Must be honest here: I already feel like I’m on vacation. I got in late today, took a long lunch, futzed around pretty much all afternoon and left an hour early. I kind of already feel like I’m on vacation.

I think this means I really need a vacation. Heck, it’s just for 4 days. But it’s 4 days I don’t have to be in a cubicle. And plus I get to watch my favorite band and I’m such a total nerd I’ve connected with other BJM fans on-line & we’re pre-funking at their shi-shi hotel. And damn it if I’m not looking forward to handing out with some other Massacre die-hards.

So talk to me. I’m feeling disconnected.

She also told me that the reason America voted out Mandisa is because America hates black people, especially when they are women and overweight. Franka & I liked Mandisa despite her somewhat preachy/churchy vibe, and yeah, so hate me, she was voted out last week, but still, it’s been in the back of our heads, Franka and mine that is.

And is this not just the cutest picture of her? She’s mellowed out so much over the last few months. I attribute it to Cesar Milan’s philosophy; we have not broken her spirit, we’ve merely created a calm and submissive state of mind for a red zone doggy. Franka thanks us for our patience.

Oh, hey, Franka really likes (removed by author) song. If you’re feeling Flaming Lippy, you’re kinda right. That is Wanye singing. It reminds me of my sister. **sniff**

I’m obsessed with my dogs and helpless to their canine wiles. I think of little else.

Geeekgirl, let’s compare notes. I’m doing that… thing…

My sister came down over the weekend and when she left I was got so depressed I had to pop a vicadin just to get to sleep. Side note: I thought one vicadin would be enough, and frankly people, that’s all I could scrounge up in this household, what with all the oral surgery and dental work going on around here, but it really didn’t do much for me and I was wishing I had another just to, you know, numb me to the pain of the world. Oh woe is me… I realized I guess that we just don’t spend a lot of time together and when we do get together I just want to GIVE HER everything I can, including meals and clothes and music and earrings and necklaces I don’t wear anymore and jeez… Oh, I won’t rehash all the details since I wrote of this very issue last year about this time when she was getting ready to get married.

B got his braces off today and he looks fabulous. He truly is, physically anyway, not the man I met 10 years ago. He’s all skinny and shit and likes to use hair products. He’s cute. I love him.

Oh, I’m reading Black Hole by Charles Burns. It’s really awesome. Anyone else concur?
