my first comment on my lost accordion weekend - wine and benedryl do not mix. not at all. nope not even a little. not even if you take the benedryl at 10am and don't have a drink until after 6pm. on sunday i turned into a late evening trainwreck the likes of which has not been seen by me since probably 2002. and when i did trainwreck like that back in 2002 - i knew it would happen. i knew i drank too much and tada my fault. this time - i drank what is a pretty normal amount for me to be a happy drunkypants but not too messy and sober by the time i would be driving home. instead i found myself at punks house feeling like i was dying and unable to make any functional decisions about anything. there were widespread repurcussions and fuckuperry and including the inability to ingest even water until 11am the next day. punk who has seen me at my worst has now seen me at my more than worst. ow ow ow. bruises and injured shoulder and some numb fingers and a still sensitive stomach two days later are what i have to show for myself. not happy. thankfully rooster helped me figure out the benedryl angle so at least i don't feel insane.

that said.

monsters on saturday was grand and i was happy to share my concert going happy with [livejournal.com profile] redshrike and [livejournal.com profile] mollena. [livejournal.com profile] mollena has posted a bunch of the video she took up over on youtube. there was so much win. here is just one of them of the monsters hilarious finale. i would like to retitle this Accordion Hubris. but you know - i am a dork like that.



then the accordion class on saturday. it was so fun. i learned some things. i ended up overestimating my skills and got a little discouraged a couple of times when i was in a more advanced group. but it worked out and i can now play the bassline for california uber alles. which is kinda cool.

the show itself later was mucho awesome. actually even better than the saturday show. duckmandu brought out a guy on the shamisen and really it just completely blew me away. punk LOVED the show. which i knew he would - but he got to be as blown away as i was last year and it super rocked his world. if you're reading this and you're up in northern west coast - catch the show man. it's unbelievable.
