I'm such a wuss. I get piss-drunk one night and I'm still feeling it. On saturday Danielle and Amanda came down (both from their respective d-towns, being Dallas and Denton) for the Queens of the Stone Age show. So they get into town 5:30-ish and we pretty quickly we head downtown to get some drinks and some grub. Apparently there was some kinda big street fair going on on 6th. Who knew? Anyhow we forced our way through the crowd and started off at casino el camino. This was followed shortly thereafter by street pizza and then to some sushi-bar where Danielle knew the bartender. He made us some lemon-y 100proof whiskey drinks then we went to Stubb's.

Peaches was playing when we got there. 1000 stoner rock fans didn't seem too into the teaches of peaches. She was fun, I guess. I'm not a huge fan but I liked her show at emo's earlier this year - it was a bit more intimate. Then Trail of Dead played and they were actually pretty good. I hadn't seen them quite a while. At least 1 1/2 years. It was odd to see them play to a place that big. Its weird to think the first time I saw then they were a two piece playing to 20 people at the blue flamingo.

QOTSA played last and kicked much ass. They sounded huge. I had forgotten what big rock shows were like. Mark Lanagan from Screaming Trees came out and sang a couple of songs (as he does on the records.) By the end of the night we were covered in sweat and dirt and beer. Sometime during the encore we were treated the "feel good hit of the summer" off their last album. There's nothing like hundreds of people screaming along to the chorus of "c-c-c-cocaine!" Big thanks to Amanda for venturing not once, but twice, through the crowd for beers.

Anyhow by the end of the night I was very drunk and very tired. We had to keep checking the time - it was only 12 when the show was over but we were just about done in. We trooped on and attempted to find the afterparty but we were thwarted by faulty information. It was just as well. We hit star seeds for some late night dinner and crashed out.

That was saturday night. This is monday morning. I still feel nasty. Perhaps I should have taken a shower sometime between then and now.
