huzzah for the appetizer diet.
I have to thank Lukas Pearse for summarizing last night's Akron/Family gig at Stage Nine so succinctly: he said that he felt like he'd stuffed himself on appetizers. A lot of really long intros, and really long outtros. "Tro" music. Myself, I loved it, but I think I know exactly what he meant. These guys have totally mastered the art of the long, atmospheric, psych-freak-out jam. Whatever that's worth to you.But it was good times last night... took the above picture with my new cell phone (welcome to 2004, James), saw lots of good folks — all three Just Barelys were in the crowd, as well as a posse of usual suspects: K, L, S&R. Very cool seeing Andy Murdoch and Jen Reynolds back in town. I wanna see hands in the air if you remember Living the Dream...

I only saw them once I think. At the El Strato, along with either Avengers 7 or Piggy. Or both.
Glad you liked Ak/Fam. I'm also glad I didn't go. Judging from some of the reports I've heard, I probably would have been furious by the end of their set. Or possibly by the one-third point of their set. Or possibly right at the start, when they sat on stage doing nothing for 15 minutes and then proceded to berate the audience for not doing their stretches.
both hands in the air! (Jimmy's lounge lizard/ talk show host persona was unforgettable, plus Marni had a crush on him, so...)
had plans to see akron/family but was way too ill (as was the person I was supposed to go with) ... from what I've heard I may also have found it highly annoying & am kind of glad I didn't venture out (I'm sure stolendave has video?) ...
