Meeting them all beforehand and getting some pix and autographs made up for the fact that it was an abbreviated set. I didn't think it was billed as a record release party (was it?), but it was still incredible. The new songs just keep getting better and better. Thurston rocked the shit out of Pink Stream, while Jams Run Free and Turquoise Boy were simply sublime. Love the double bass action. Long live Mark Ibold!!! Lots of shouting for Pavement songs, which I found amusing. "BOX ELDER" "IN THE MOUTH A DESERT". Unforgettable day and night.
Had a blast hangin out with you, hooligan. And no, I didn't end up staying at her place. Oh well, you can't have everything. "What would we be without wishful thinking".
