Ok.

As you may know, one of my favourite bands is Harvey Milk from Athens, Georgia. As you also may know, I live in Southern Germany, which is quite a long way from Athens, Georgia, and obviously Harvey Milk agree with this given how often they come to Germany (which is near to never).

Ok. Now last week, I saw that Wolves in the Throne Room were about to play quite near me on wednesday, so I thought I may go and see them, for I've never heard them before and was curious. The day before, tuesday that is, they were playing in Leipzig (which is about eight hours north by car), and guess with whom? Yes, with Harvey fucking Milk! And now guess who didn't come to Southern Germany with Wolves... but instead played in Berlin, which is also eight hours north by car and not possible for me to get to during working week, and then leave Germany again? Yes, Harvey fucking Milk.

Now what is this??? Why the fuck did my favourite band not play the same venues like Wolves...? I mean, really, since two years it's tMG, Arvo Pärt and Harvey Milk on my Olymp, so this is one of the worst things that could happen to me, speaking of entertainment. And what's worse: My drummer was in Berlin and probably did make it to Harvey Milk (I haven't spoken to him yet).

Are these all the problems I got? Yes, I guess so (except for usual money stuff), and I consider myself pretty damn lucky. Except for the above!

that sucks dude, though you would think they would put their tour dates on their site, and it doesn't look like they do, which is totally frustrating. it just means you are going to have to come visit us in the US!

Oh, they did, but I didn't care that much for it was all too far away.

But anyway, I have a few bottles of different, good whiskey, so fuck it, what's better that standing in a crowded room, sweating, getting pushed around, drinking cheap, warm beer while seeing your fave band? Indeed: Sitting comfortably at home, no one else around, drinking really good whiskey and listening to your fave band!

So, no pity but utter enjoyment!

I once was sitting in a bar with a friend and had just recently moved into my first own flat after years of living together with a bunch of (very nice) people, and so had this guy. So we - pretty drunk - were talking about the advantages of living alone. It kinda went like this:

Quote
Drunk conversation with a friend
Me: Good thing is, you can listen to loud music while cooking and no one complains.

Friend: Yeah, or you can walk around naked!

Me: True. Or if there's mess in the kitchen, you know it's yours alone and not some disgusting stuff from your flatmates.

Friend: Yeah, or you can walk around naked!

Me: And you can leave the door open while showering so you can listen to music, too.

Friend: Yeah, or you can walk around naked!

Me: Yes, ok, and no one steals your chocolate from the fridge or used the last bit of toilet paper without replacing it.

Friend: Yeah, or you can walk around naked!

To this day he denies having said that this often, but he was way more drunk than I was, and I definitely remember this being his only argument. I still giggle when I think of this...
