molly

last night was great. the little sensible voice woke up slightly before the rest of me this morning to scold and whine, but that's a small price to pay. yep, despite studying and a 7:30 midterm and general tiredness i met up with C downtown last night, where we grabbed some dinner and saw the Flogging Molly show. the opening acts were decent, and i wish i'd had a little more energy with which to enjoy them - both kinda punk, though the Street Dogs had a little more style (to me) than the Brigg. both were much like the bands i loved to see in university, and made me feel simultaneously about 10 years younger and far too old.
a little infomercial by Jello Biafra, a diverse sort of crowd, a nice tabletop view, and showtime, opening with The Likes of You and closing with What's Left of the Flag, and covering most everything else i'd wanted to hear in between. if you're a fan of the celtic-rockish style of the Pogues and if you see these guys are passing through your town, i highly recommend checking them out.
the other fun part was that somehow, in all my years here, i'd never actually been in the Commodore Ballroom, and that's crying shame. and yes, it was partly just him and his complete refusal to go out and do something that might result in him having fun, but that's no reason why i shouldn't have gone anyway. i suppose it's also that the shows i did make a point of going out for weren't there, but still.
Ministry and GWAR are both playing there next month, (though Laibach is at the more intimate/scungy Richards on Richards) so i'll be back soon enough.
having so many good shows through town this fall rocks enough, but having someone to go with me to the shows makes it way, way better.

and... i was a little worried about whether things would be awkward last night - if i would feel rejected, or if he would be weird, or if it would just generally complicate what should be simple enjoyment, but none of that materialized. i was actually a little surprised at how easy and comfortable and nice it was - it's like we're still intimate, but not sexual, close but not like lovers. like siblings? well, maybe not yet, but the potential is there, and i'm glad. i thought i wanted something else from him, but maybe i was wrong. (i hate saying that) ask me again in a month, or 2, or 6, and see.
