Checkin out the scene

This week I made it my mission to check out the local dance scene. I looked and looked. Tumbleweed blows by. Finally I found this breaks event and checked it out last night. No one was dancing. This one girl who was friends with all the djs bopped around a little. I screwed up my courage and started dancing, because dancing and drinking by yourself is more fun than sitting and drinking by yourself. Afterwards she clapped me on the back and gushingly thanked me. I made her night.

Other than that high point, the whole thing was kind of boring. The 4 djs were doing this weird thing of rotating back and forth every 10 minutes, but not in a nice flowing way. Also, the music was boring. They didn't seem to have any audience relationship at all. Finally at one point this guy started doing The Robot and that's when the dj decided to make the music decay in a mess of noise, with badly placed record scratching. I think San Francisco has made me a bit of a music snob. I really miss it right now! At least this party we're throwing at the end of the month, Heist, will be good.

The bar, Bodega, had a main room upstairs where a punk concert (complete with stage netting) was taking place and a couple decent beers on tap, which is pretty rare around here. Francisco was kind enough to come out and rescue me/keep me company/drink beers 40% smaller than mine. Thanks man! I don't have any friends here, especially with everyone back home for Burningman, so it has been quite challenging figuring out how to live. I know it will improve soon, especially after I audition for a few choirs and create a real project to work on, but right now.... I have way too much time to think about the right way to live. I think of something to do and then nix it as not the right way to live. This is crazy! How do I make myself stop thinking for a while? I don't think at yoga but yoga is hard, I really can't make myself go to that every day. One might suggest I get a job. I guess I can just quit it if I don't like it or if they won't let me leave for 3 weeks in December. More action! Less worryin! Channel Chris Yates and make some toys/visit giant balls of yarn/talk to aliens.

Why are you still here? GO!
