More crack-downs in Rapid City. Last night there were two or three units in the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant Casa Del Rey. Couldn't see much because of the lights; just some people by their cars being... "talked to". A man with two white dogs stood on the sidewalk and looked on.

After watching I Am The World Trade Center perform in a mostly empty senior citizen's center on Monday, hearing IATWTC new CD reviewed on National Public Radio's All Things Considered was a little surreal. The CD is good enough for it, to be sure. But I chuckled as I thought about how on the same day that the esteemed Amy and Dan were sipping ghetto snow cones and being serenaded by a girl wearing a big Superman cape and a lanky guy with a cheap Yamaha synthesizer, Sarah Bardeen was sitting in an office in San Francisco, picking a certain album out of the latest batch of records from Kindercore.

Might be heading to Colorado this weekend to catch Modest Mouse and a few other bands. Just a little excited. When Meg(h) invited me along, I had to use every ounce of my will to not flip out and start dancing around the hallway. I like that Modest Mouse quite a bit...

Too, too, late. Bed now.
