Being still fresh off the college boat, working weekends takes some getting used to. There’s a lot of things I miss about those 4 years, but Fridays are what I miss most. Here’s why:
2. TGIF, the weekly, college sponsored outdoor event that everyone cool on campus looks forward to.
3. Softball aka drinking PBR and not minding if we get demolished by physics majors.
Anyway, those days are over and I can only relive them by looking at photos on facebook for 2 hours. Now I work weekends. We all know this sucks, but we do what we gotta in order to bring home the bacon. Now, because I work early on Saturday morning, Saturday nights have become my new Friday nights, so you can only imagine how happy I was when Mr.Dave P and R5 (the peeps behind Making Time, the sometimes-monthly-sometimes-bi-monthly-but-always-on-a-Friday-unless-it’s-Halloween-or-New Years party) announced that Simian Mobile Disco was playing a secret warehouse party this upcoming Saturday. Bummed that I couldn’t attend Friday’s Making Time w/ YACHT, I was really looking forward to Saturday. I’ve seen SMD* once before at Making Time and if you watch this video clip you can see for yourself how awesome they truly are live. Despite bumping beats, SMD focuses more on the accomplished vocalists featured on most of their tracks and less on instrumentation, which considering their genre is rare. They’ve also produced a number of killer remixes for people you’ve probably heard of (look it up because I don’t feel like making this post any longer.)
Anyway, around 9 o’clock I stepped out of my house looking fly, ready to be photographed, with Simian blasting from my earbuds when I received a 3 word text “SMD IS CANCELED.”
To Be Continued… (in an hour or two)
*SMD= Simian Mobile Disco, not Suck My Dick, you perv.
