Week 1 - 01/01/07 - Too many "52 Weeks of Newness"

Week 1 - 01/01/07

To start off the "52 Weeks of Newness", I crammed much into last weekend. Technically these didn't all occur in 2007, but they did help kick off my gay experiment.

Friday, 12/29/06, Khybar, Philly PA: Electric 6 show.
Many firsts including:

First Jeremy Fish show. Sadly from outside - steaming the glass up with my breath. The gallery was closed.

First Khybar visit. Although I swear that I have been there before, Troy assures me that it is not the fact. He's probably right, my memory is crap. The bar was Philly hipster cool. In Old City so it's probably older than jesus. Drunk hipster/yuppies that kept screaming Tiger Woods and pulling my hair. I snapped at the one and almost made him cry. Also, pushed bitch from the hipster/yuppie group down and stepped over her body during a semi-mosh moment. That made me feel better.

First Electric 6 show. Dick Valentine is way creepy in person and a truly awkward dancer. Kept doing this weird thing with his arms like he was Dick "I'm not a crook" Nixon, but in a dance way. Most of the band was cool and posed for pics with my sister, Tre. She was happy.


Saturday, 12/30/06, my living room: Out of Reach Steven Segal

I KNOW. I made it to 28 never having seen a Steven Segal movie. I totally got tricked into it after watching a marathon of Law and Order and foolishly not turning the tv off fast enough. Sucker. I couldn't look away. It is a truly bad, bad movie BUT still not as bad as Pushing Tin. Not as good as Walker Texas Ranger but close.

Sunday - Monday, 12/31 - 1/1/07: Brewery, State College: Lowjack with Midnight Love Ensemble

First Brewery visit. I likened the whole night to this - it was like I went home and caught up with some buddies from high school. Your buddy knows this really great party at Joe's house in his basement. You recognize people but only vaguely. You wonder what the fuck your doing there but you end up having a good time, talking to the few people that you actually remember. THAT is exactly what it was like.

This was what I like to call the White Person Diversity Festival. Eclectic whites from all social/sexual classes. No two were alike. If I was a sociologist, I could have written my thesis, no problem.

My eyes burned all night from the smoke. I'm guessing that there is smoke down there from the last century. Some people were really gross, but the bartenders were cool and the music was good. Dennis from Lowjack has that thing that makes you want to watch him. It wasn't a panty-peeler for me but he totally made the other band look like douchebags. (Not that hard actually.)

Monday, 1/1/07: my kitchen: Egg McMuffins and Pork and Saurkraut

For Xmas, I got loads of stuff for the kitchen from just about everybody. My step-dad bought me the super-awesome-screw-you-Sheetz Muffin Maker. IT ROCKS! It takes about 3 minutes to toast the muffin, cook the ham and egg and slap it altogether. I made them for Troy, Jason and myself. It was a success. That's 4 bucks that I can call my own on weekend morning.

I also unwrapped a new crock pot on Christmas. (Thanks Aunt Anna May!!!) It cooked my New Year's pork and saurkraut perfectly. So deliciously ethnic.

That's it. Nothing else new this week other than starting this blog. It's so personal it creeps me out. But chances that you go this far with me babbling on unfunnily are slim.
