a partial story of one night

went to two shows the past two nights and almost thought going to a third tonight, if i wasn't so poor. Thursday night i went down to e. carson st. on the southside (pittsburgh) with luke good, who was in town for spring break. we hung out for a bit and were supposed to see unwed salior and ester drang together, but it was not an all ages show, and luke still has a little more than a week until the big day. So he went on with another friend, and i went on to the show, with the thought of meeting up later that night or the next. the show was pretty fantastic. I was pretty impressed with amusing peppy-ness of The Singing Mechanic, who apparently took the place of ester drang. It really was a nice little lead in to unwed, and as he so informed us, he's "a mechanic who tries to sing.", so there were quite a number of songs about driving, and one even written from a car's perspective :) Of course, unwed was just as amazing as the last time i saw them. I'd say that they're so very real that it is urreal. I really feel like they make music the way you're supposed to. Very natural and hopeful. Mary Timony was the headliner, but i've already written more than i have the energy for.

don't say a word, otherwise it's just too soon
