Yesterday in a brief post.
Aug. 12th, 2007 11:43 amOf course, if I meant this to be "a brief post", why the hell am I writing it Word? Eh, get over it.
Yesterday started out in an exercise to flesh out an idea that actually germinated the day before that:
Yesterday, while looking through the Redmond Value Village for a blanket I need as a shoot prop, I came across a set of black satin sheets, $5 for the top sheet, $5 for the fitted sheet, and gorgeous satin comforter. Yes, we bought them and my inner hedonist was in bliss last night, in spite of the top covers that kept trying to slide off.
I went to the Life Long AIDS Alliance benefit concert with Aeolian, Genowen, and Abney Park last night with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Prior to Doc Maynard's letting us in at 9pm (the tickets said 8pm),nathan_fhtagn and robert_from_ap hung out with us in front of the venue, just shooting the breeze and that was awesome, especially when the chit chatting continued through the set up of Aeolin.
The first group, Aeolin, was best when they were just playing. The moment the they started singing along, then things got iffy, though I suspect a lot of it could have been that their sound mix was crap. Maybe they sound better in the studio. Anyway, there was one song they started playing which had a pretty elaborate musical set up and I found myself thinking, "Please, dear goddess, don’t let them sing." Do people not do instrumentals any more?
The second group, Genowen, sounded a lot better.nathan_fhtagn compared their front man, Sean Sonnet, to Robert Smith of The Cure, but I didn't hear that. What I heard was someone who reminded me a lot more of David Bowie, but perhaps that this comparison is because I've listened to more David Bowie than The Cure. I signed up for their mailing list and grabbed one of their free CD's to hear what their studio sound was like, because the live mix had problems. My favorite was when you could see their guitarist play, but no sound matched it.
The last group, of course, was Abney Park and the reason I was going to the show in the first place, so I could see them live. There is a palpable chemistry that you can feel when people really enjoy working together on stage, and this group did just that. We even got to hear a couple of new songs out of them, Airship Pirates and the Emperor's Wives. It was a good show all the way around.
Then we arrived at game with 20 minutes to spare. The Nos were having a meeting about something. We do that, get over it. And I had a lovely time roleplaying withsylvan's new tremere. We even came up with a plan to over throw Sabbat domains. It's simply genius! ;)
I should probably get started on my day which includes heading out to Lowman Beach Park in Seattle to shoot an image or two for the Edge of Propinquity, which had 2,200 unique pairs of eyeballs looking at in the month of July. ;)
Yesterday started out in an exercise to flesh out an idea that actually germinated the day before that:
What if you knew you were going to die soon? But you didn't know when and you didn't know how. What would you do?Generally, the idea is the easiest part for me. Where it gets difficult is fleshing out the details, but I am determined to continue this through. The idea has promise for me on a couple of levels and I want to see what I can do with this.
