Banana Shenaningan:

Awake for 30 hours at this . point. Documenting recent past.

Saw "ICU" at the Crocodile Cafe. They were pretty fun to watch, the ICU guy has a MC-303 also, and it was being idiosyncratic, similiar to my own 303. "I wonder", I thought, "if I could talk to this guy." He was silent throughout his entire set, excepting an inaudible comment to his hapa-keyboard player girl, who then announced that there would be an additional door prize, the privelidge of sittinf around afterwards with the band (and getting a free drink). The door prize tickets were adhesive nametags with odd names on them. "Juzou Itami" was the person picked to hang out with the band. Well, that's what my nametag said my name was. "Juzou Itami, the famous filmmaker." I didn't go and hang out with them. "We're being dissed and we don't even know it!" she said. Oh dear. Sorry guys. I had to work the next day and it was almost midnight.

No excuse other than I didn't want to go up there and have them say "That's not you! Your nametag says 'Juzou Hami!'". (special quad punctuation honors Yoda's birthday, today.)

The next band was Hovercraft, which I had gone to see earlier this year, because one of the guys was Helen's hairdresser. The bass player, I sort of remember, is Eddie Vedder's wife or something, though they don't like talking about it (duh). The drum (hairdresser) and bass (wife) players were decent, if unimaginative. The guitar player sounded like one of us in the basement discovering the "delay" effect for the first time. The film they projected on their backdrop was ineffective not very synchronized with them. I don't know why they have the reputation of being this great, experimental band around here. It might be true that they're beyond my ken and I'm suffering from poor taste, but I don't fucking think so.

Everything (something) will be lost, only I can know the cost -- 303, a demo with lyrics.

I bought the entire Hornet demo and mod cD collection. I sort of freaked out when I heard they were taking the archive offline.

Also, late yesterday's last night, I got a burrito/nacho combo thingie at Taco Bell, not taking into account the staffing solutions they employ. So when I got home I discovered a very retarded burrito. Burrito ingredients (on the inside, at least. They've got the downtown portland subway beat on that count.) in a flour tortilla, FOLDED IN HALF. Exscuse me, oh masters of permutation, but that's the TACO configuration!!!!!!

I now have source code to EVERY EFFECT IN THE WORLD (circa 1997).

I'll be CODING FOREVER. see you around.
