FRAG OFF FRAGGIT!!!
Yo JSIN! Check out this picture of LOBO. HAHAHAHAHA
Talked to Ogre at 930 AM. He was in Cincinnati and Skinny Puppy will be here Friday. And then Ministry is Monday. I have great all access passes and am psyched.
Wow! I took a couple nice long walks during the late afternoon and dropped into Kelsey's for my Monday $1 burger. Curi met me there with a heavy suitcase for her Suicide Girl shoot downtown. She had asked me to go since she would be alone with a stranger in a hotel room, so I was pretty much her intimidating muscle. Normally I wouldn't do such a thing, intruding on a photo shoot, but being I was going as a "chaperone" and not a significant I didn't mind. I know what it's like when the "significant" is present, sometimes he or she gets jealous and it never ends pretty. I've seen it from both sides. Jealousy really brings out the ugliness in people.
Turns out the photographer Steve was pretty cool, and he is also the webmaster for Type O. So we got a long well. As our lil comic book babe got ready Steve and I made small talk, and then when he began shooting I stayed out of the way in the bathroom making business calls. All in all he was pretty quick and everything went well. he was very professional and I gained a lot of respect for the guy, and my lil 'suicide gal" WHO SHOULD BE A viXXXen !!!
We hopped on a bus and dropped into NEO for a few. I left my new leather pants in the DJ booth last week and needed to pick them up. Mr. Hate poured Curi a rum and coke and myself a few Makers and diets. Dann played LA Guns "Over The Edge" and KISS' "Unholy" and we were out of there and on our way to little Tokyo, the land of cartoons. That's what I'm going to refer to her pad as because I loathe Superman, and can't exactly call it the "Fortress Of Solitude".
I finally figured out why she likes the DC character LOBO so much. He's a bad ass mofo that fucks up everyone. So being she commented that I reminded her of him when we met, I am not offended. In fact after checking out the book, I've decided it's next years Halloween costume. I just need to find a Harley Quinn. I had no idea who this guy was at first so she gave me a stack of his comix in order to do my homework. I'm not sure but I think she has every issue, and even has a plushie of LOBO.
It had become apparent to me that she still had not fully recovered from her recent illness and as usual we sat up and looked at comic books and talked about dumb stuff. I think I finally got to sleep around 330 or 4 and was in and out of sleep for a few hours. Her freakin' rabbit was doing backflips in his cage all night and kept knocking CD's over, scaring me out of my sleep.
Got home and started doing updates this afternoon and am trying DAMN HARD to score a few more MINISTRY tickets for Monday. It's hard being everyone's hook up man all the time. Some people better buy me a lot of drinks come Monday. At least everyone involved has brought something to the table so I know this isn't one of those old scenarios where people are using me as they have in the past. That's not going to happen again. But free drinks are always a nice compensation. It's weird how people think just because you are friends with a band that you have unlimited access to their guestlist. And in most cases as we learned last week at the Bottom Lounge with BILE many times the houses rules over rides anyone's wishes. So excuuuuuussssse me. (ladies in on my arm excluded of course).
Gearing up for an excitng weekend.
