anyway, LA. I quite enjoyed spending time with Kathryn. I like to think that I saw the "real LA" with her, since we didn't do anything touristy at all. We just kinda hung out, drove around, went to eat...normal stuff. I mean, i didn't even see the Hollywood sign. But when I go back, I'll have to do the touristy stuff. I want to walk around downtown with my camera and a sign on my back that says "kick me i'm an ohioan." Still, I haven't really processed my thoughts from the past couple of weeks. I think I'll start with Morrissey.
So, One week ago yesterday, I saw Morrissey in concert. And, not surprisingly, it was awesome. Now, I won't say that it was my favorite concert of all time. that spot is probably held by the magnetic fields (man was that show great!), but it was really awesome. First, Morrissey is just a great performer and his voice is fantastic. In fact, it sort of surprises me that his voice is so good after all these years. And, he performed these really wicked awesome of How soon is now.
How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths
They had this huge gong and a tympani drum on stage and at the end of the song, the drummer got up and beat the hell out of them both. awesome. Also, the version of Ask (my all time favorite Smiths song) was far more intense than the original. While I prefer the original (listen here for yourself), the new version fit the concert, which was, in general, pretty intense.

anyway, then, at the end of the show, probably 10-15 people tried to get on stage, and were subsequently thrown off by the bouncers. very bizzare. very fun.
Anyhoo. the show was great, and the whole trip to columbus was great.
Oh, interesting work related news from yesterday, which I actually have to get back to.... more on that later.
