st. louis: gardening, not architecture

night two!

the wonderful sarah saturday arrived in st. louis with sidekick ian and we had ourselves a fun-filled night. sarah played with a bunch of local bands at a small, independent venue and it was so inspiring. local fans coming together for local bands, at a tiny venue. and everyone came together to support sarah and her touring project and some great thoughts and ideas were thrown around in the earn it yourself workshop session. i have so much admiration and respect for what sarah does. it's a wonder more people don't know about her and all that she does for the good of the udnerground music scene.



sarah, ian and i ended up at steak-n-shake later that night, recorded some HILARIOUS videos, and laughed our asses off until four in the morning. once again, another band was introduced to my forest of a basement. (it's becoming quite famous at this point.) here's a pic of god only know what at steak'n'shake:

st. louis: gardening, not architecture

hello thursday night! so great to see you, knowing that you're the beginning of my weekend.

i survived my french midterm and the workshop of my non-fiction piece today, and that was just the beginning of a good day. i scrambled to pack, and hit the road towards st. louis by five or so. i meandered my way through ghetto town, got really lost, but eventually found the venue (of course i'm ditching school for a show, duh.) a little late. this journey was for a little band called gardening, not architecture, the musical project of sarah saturday. name sounds familiar, you say? why yes, yes it might. she's done it all. behind the scenes shenanigans at warped tour, establishing the 'earn it yourself' website, a key contributor over at buzznet, her bands... all kinds of stuff. she's also jp roney's sister, you know, that one guy from we the living whom you faithful readers hear about fairly often. oh, and she has a bouncing souls song named after her, but that's besides the point. so anyways. i'd never met her, but we've been internet acquaintances for a while so it was great to put finally a face to a name tonight. and she's the sweetest person ever! the show went well and i tried to overcome my awkwardness, being at yet another show alone. sarah introduced me to her tour manager and some friends though, so we made friendly chatter.

and now, as i sit here at home, my real home, i'm awaiting the arrival of said sarah saturday and touring friends who are planning on sleeping here. and tomorrow morning i'm off to chicago to see the other roney sibling's band. what a weekend, and it hasn't even started yet. good thing i was still doing homework up until an hour ago to keep me rooted in real life...
