I'm hosting a kick-ass birthday show/party this Saturday at Tambaleo. Come celebrate my birthday with the three b's: bands, boobs and booze. The festivities start at 9PM with some of the best music you've ever heard. It's the perfect way to close out the holiday season!

It would mean a lot to me if I could celebrate another year on this earth with my friends, future friends and colleagues. Please stop by, even for a li'l bit. The club is open ot the public, so tell everyone you know to come to the party!

Featuring:
Suzanna Choffel (9 PM)
Operator (10:30)

Tell your friends, family, neighbours and co-workers to come join the party!

I Love you guys and hope you can make it!

My friend, Rachel, is filming a live DVD on the 13^th. There will be a suprise opening band (shhhhhhhh!), special one-time-only merch for sale and FREE beer! Entrance is also FREE and this celebration will be a blast! Plus your breathtaking visage will be captured on film.

It would mean so much to Rachel - and to me - if you came to this event. If any kind Souls would like to help out with bartending, merch, etc, please let me know. Even if you can only lend your services for an hour or so, I would Love you forever. And for an added incentive - aside from getting to have me boss you around see me - all volunteers get FREE BEER!

Danke my darlings!

~Chris

But enough of my rambling.

I'll be at a wedding this weekend so whatever fabulousity is happening will have to deal with my lack of presence, as impossible as that may seem. I recommend y'all go see Rachel play without me (Thursday - MOMOs - 9:30). *sniff, sniff* As much as I know you all Love and worship me, please don't call unless it's a matter of dire importance cos I'm not gonna answer my phone anyway. So there. :oÞ And for those of you who constantly feel the need to call me in the wee hours of the morning (*coughs* Daniel *coughs*), don't... unless you have a death wish, of course. You can, however, call on Sunday; me answering is directly proportionate to how much I Love you and how disgusted I am at the time. Y'all know where to find me Monday night. :o)

Canvas/ Johnny Goudie CD release show at Antone's. Also on the bill are Rachel Loy and Casey McPherson (formerly of Endochine)

Things got off to a slow start and people started filing in while Tucker played. The turnout was great and I'm glad so many people came. Bill and I had joked the night before about how there would either be a surplus of people or no one would show up. I'm glad it was the former. They filmed Tucker's first few songs and are turning them into music videos.

Saturday night was kind of boring, especially given the raving "I've got a really cool private party for you to go to" from Spencer (acting like it was some sort of top secret spy mission and only revealing the details to me in private). It was the afterparty for the premiere of "Drop Dead Sexy", which features 00:54 on its soundtrack amongst other local musicians. A few peeps performed, including my guys (who got cheered on for an encore). 'Twas... okay, but nothing exciting.

Last night was the Gat5 private party. <== they're an artist collective here in town. 00:54 played along with Johnny Goudie and Stefanie Fix. It was really good to see Johnny as I haven't seen him in a long time. Stefanie was wonderful. And of course, there was the free music and booze. *grins* I even got Alex to come out; I haven't seen him in months and he got a chance to network. Towards the end of the party, a few of us headed over to Club Deville cos there was a rumour that the Flaming Lips were gonna make a special appearance. Alas, the rumour was untrue but we still had fun and I even learned some useful self-defense tips from Spen as we tried to beat the crap out of one another... again. I Love my friends. :o)

Oh, and I met some guys from Paris who are in town for SXSW. They "didn't speak Texan" so I got to chat with them in Frenglish. LOL Their band plays at Tambaleo on Thursday. I don't remember the name of the band, but the whole night is "French night" at the club.

Please stop it with the weird, fucked up dreams. I am SO not in the mood. I'm-a kick yo ass if you don't quit it.

So my internet connection is back. It's still a bit wonky, but at least I can get online most of the time. I don't know why *&$#(*%@ Microsoft would create updates that fuck with one's 'puter. Oh wait, yes I do - cos they're Eeeeevil. I still may have to reformat to get my CD drive to work (the burner works, but the CD drive doesn't). Grrrrrrrrr.

Aaaaanyway... y'all know what tonight is. That's right! It's Monday night and time to head on down to the Lucky Lounge to see my guys play. Look into my eyes... you're getting veeeeeeeery sleepy... now repeat after me: "I will go downtown to see 00:54. And I will buy CDs and t-shirts and drinks for Chris..."
