so, i should have stayed in canada and went to the jazz show. i got some rest when i came back, anyways; i was actually operating on a late day, as i woke up on sunday night. so, i went out on saturday night, came home on sunday morning, slept all day sunday, then went out again on monday night without sleeping again, came back on tuesday morning and slept all day tuesday. as of right now, i don't expect to sleep again before i'm out around this time tomorrow night....

why should i have stayed in canada? because last night was really a complete waste. i came down on myself for going out on saturday without a path to a late show, but i at least had fun at the actual bar. monday night was really, legitimately just a waste of time.

and, the thing is that i should have known better - that is, i should have expected the outcome that actually happened. it's not like something didn't work out. i went out looking for a blistering psychedelic show that would linger until 4:00 in opposition to all evidence, which was that i was going to get a passive mope-rock show that would be over by 2:30 at the latest. and, what i actually got was what i should have expected to get. so, it's entirely my own fault for wasting my own time.

there were moments of cacophony, but it was a pretty boring show, overall.

i spent some time after the show talking to some older guys that claimed they knew just about every personality in the historical detroit rock scene, including kid rock (who one of them claimed to have gone to school with), alice cooper, john lowery (who had relatives that they claimed to know quite well), iggy pop and even jack white (these guys claimed to have recently been in his house). i'm not willing to take much of what they said seriously, but it was at least entertaining to hear them talk.

but, it was largely a long night, and i should have listened to the sage advice: save your money, don't go to the show.
