I’m not feeling too proud about dropping the ball on CMJ this year

At SXSW ‘08, I discovered the DAY PARTY: a usually FREE event featuring open bars & snacks sometimes & watching 6 bands in a row that you haven’t heard of but are probably fantastic & will be huge in 2 months & you get to say you saw them “before stupids caught on.” It’s a sweet deal— earning indie cred while getting sloshed for free at 2pm.

No follow-through from this kid, however. Been wearing the Captain Lame hat alllll week.

It’s just— I got back from my Seattle/Portland trip in time to host multiple houseguests & throw a housewarming party. Plus the achey-breaky face/wall incident. So tired, guys! And jonesin’ for ME time— just a couple evenings lounging in PJ’s on the broken couch (thanks Ray), scooping peanut butter out of the jar with a pretzel stick, writing stories about my feelings, forming an Ugly Betty addiction, ignoring phone calls, etc. etc.

I MAY redeem myself tomorrow. MAY. I mean, I’ve already got this “make your own taco” party to go to Saturday night (awesome), but I could probably swing After The Jump’s CMJ day party— now at MARKET HOTEL instead of the Yard— organized by all your favorite NYC music bloggers that aren’t Brooklyn Vegan.
