went to D4 at bottom lounge tonight. this was def the best time i've had there. granted, the other times it was for working/shooting, but today i was there to see the bands. rolled in during the middle of japanther. they would have been waaaaaay better in a basement and not some legit club with a real PA and shit in front of a full crowd not moving around.
D4 was pretty solid. probably about the same as when i saw them just last month at reggie's. they played a different set list, which was nice, and it was their usual lineup so they played more songs and not just the ten or so that ronnie knew for drums last time.
i ran into roy from school there as i was waiting to pay the doorman and i talked with him and ended up standing/dancing by him and his friends about three rows from the back edge of the pit. i liked it b/c i could actually enjoy the songs and sing along and bounce in my own little space and not fight drunk idiots up in the front.
at first i wasn't sure if i was going to go. and i was hesitant to drive b/c the neighborhood where the bottom lounge is located is not the best and i didn't want to have to park too far away. and its off the green line, which is a hassel b/c i'm blue. but i'm glad i went, and i did drive and got a spot under the tracks about two blocks away, so that's not too bad!
i haven't necessarily been depressed the past couple of days, but perhaps just quiet and internalizing a lot of my frustrations. i have ran in the forest preserve after work the past two days for a total of one hour and six minutes, with plans to run again tomorrow.
i feel like after the show my mood has picked up. like i said, the set was good, the banter to a minimum but hilarious as usual. good people in attendance. no hassels. and i'm looking forward to shooting (pictures, not skeet) this weekend with some people after work.
