awww. look how adorable these little rocker girls are. maya, sorry i mean princess leia, and i went down to the rock and make festival on treat street where we heard about three hours of bands, many of whom, i figured out, were closer in age to my kids than to me. oh well. i may be old but not freakishly old, and there was a 60+year old shirtless homeless guy breakdancing up front who seemed embraced by all the cute young-uns so i have a ways to go. there were lots and lots of parents jumping on the opportunity to go hear music they would not regret the next morning.
the kids were conditioned to like the music with free tootsie pops placed by a few singers' feet.
i still love live indie rock especially the lineup today who did not seem to take themselves at all seriously and who rocked out without their you know-whats out. free and during the day are especially sweet. take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and listen to some links. the drummer from the ferocious few had one of the best drumming styles i've ever seen. kim if you are reading this check out "the shes". lots of vendors more my age selling their jewelry and clothes and handbags and homeade soap and art and big ol' glam belt buckles.
am i just being optimistic or are people actually moving towards something a little more creative now that the last remnants of the dot com tsunami seem to have washed away?
back to school tomorrow. yes, we have signed our kid up for another year of mandarin immersion. our friend asked "what did miles do wrong to deserve that?" last year and sometimes i think we are torturing crazy parents but for now it is o.....k....ohhhhh....kaaaaaay.
