The Black Crowes & Tom Petty
Let me just say it was a damn fine concert. We got there a little bit late and didn't get a chance to catch all of the Black Crowes set, but what we saw was good. They jammed just a little too much for my taste, but they're good musicians, so its allowable. I was a little ticked that they didn't play some of their bigger hits like "Hard To Handle" and "Kickin' My Heart Around," but they don't seem like the type of band to play their hits. I mean, Chris Robinson (however the hell he got Kate Hudson is beyond me, and I want to know his secret) was going on about the Summer Solstice, so that right there is an indication that he's a little whacked. Then there was his dancing, which was funny (maybe Kate likes the crazy dancing).
Tom Petty was damn good though. He played mostly a list of his greatest hits, which was nice. Only one or two songs I didn't know. He's an even weirder guy than the lead singer of the Black Crowes, but the crowd loved it. And the Heartbreakers are an excellent backup band, so I had no complaints on that front either. Good show all around. I'm just exhausted as all hell this morning since I didn't get home until about 1 and Keyser woke me up at the regular old time of 4:30 in the morning. I need to break him of that habit, and now!
Next up in the Summer Concert Series, Weezer with Taking Back Sunday, Wednesday, July 13th at the Nassau Coliseum, which is thankfully across the street from my office. Seriously, I could walk there, its that close, and it'll save me $6.75 in parking. Nice!
So for some reason, with the house rental, the landlord only wants one person's name on the lease so in the event that we're late, he only has to chase down one person and not four. Being a stand up guy, and the only guy for that matter, I volunteered. For some reason whenever I mention that there is only one name on the lease most people say make sure it isn't yours! Well, not too late in that respect, but I volunteered anyway. I asked one of the partners at my office who deals with real estate if there was some kind of contract he could whip up to cover my own ass so that I can't get screwed by my roommates (not that I'm expecting to, but like I said, just want to cover my ass, just in case). He said all he would need is the cover page of the lease, the names of the people involved and he could whip up some kind of guarantee agreement so I don't get screwed. Its nice working for lawyers sometimes, but just sometimes.
So that is all that is new over here. Looking forward to the weekend as Seth is throwing a little shindig at his apartment in the city. Should be fun and I'm looking forward to getting drunk and trying to chat up single women. Good luck to me! Adios everyone, happy hump day!

lol My first insinct is to say don't do it! But it is too late, and if your coworker can do something to cover you, I'm sure you're ok. Besides, you know where to hunt the other girls down!
