Post-Mortem on 08.01.08

Though I usually pride myself on my punctuality, I have to say that I’m fairly ashamed to have been running late this past Friday evening and missed my own most dramatic performance ever. Despite what I hear was a strong first set from Seth and the gang, apparently our magnanimous hosts at the Yippie Café managed to confirm two acts for the 10pm set, thus royally sabotaging our vibe and preventing yours truly from making it after all.

Mistakes, of course, will happen, though I have to say I’ve never encountered this at any point before in my professional career. The club can of course be forgiven; they were no doubt a bit more focused on the recent incarceration of one of their longtime patriarchs and owners on money laundering charges (here if you’re curious), and a bit less focused on their event scheduling. And no fault can be attributed to the other (nameless) artist of course, though Kyle did mention that he’d never before seen anyone over the age of twelve who was capable of putting on such an aggressive and unprofessional display of whining. Alas, I’ll just chalk it up to strange vibes in the streets from the partial eclipse of the sun in our hemisphere (though not quite visible from here in New York - here). Many thanks to all who came out to support, and I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to make it in time to lay down the law – can’t wait to see you all next time under more reliable circumstances.
