sleater-kinney in dc, so freaking hot

went to dc last week.

i do not have enough time to write. so, quick story:
flew to dc to see sleater-kinney
go to show.
everyone excited.
and sweaty.
19-year old woman stands next to me.
first time i have felt older. very weird.

everyone in dc is using their AC, as they should be.
so, it's too damn hot & the transformer for block blows
before the ladies of sleater-kinney start
show cancelled!!!!!
some have flown in from london to see the show.
some have driven in from springfield as well.

everyone cries and sarcastically screams.

people hang outside for an hour.

news is big. makes pitchfork next day.


everyone turns into a pissy 17-year-old girl. sad.

i plan to go home
but decide to stay.

"see dc!
see zoo!
see museums!"



see heat hanging in the air like monkeys on branches

everyone is hot, including the very cute and somewhat terrifying ratdogs.

almost hallucinate from the breath of satan!
hit the galleries: portrait, hirshorn, national gallery...all wonderful



see sleater-kinney thurs night.

they rock out. amazing. carrie brownstein is queen on guitar.
go home at 4:30 am, baltimore to columbus.
love southwest.
tired as hell.

heat hallucination at the zoo="humans+squirrels+shrinking pills=golden lion monkeys"
