[is code for]

on friday, i went to see appleseed cast with ryan.  the wifest, having not forgotten the horrible experience last time, couldn't be persuaded to come along.  which is perfectly reasonable, given what a jerk i was.   you would think, then, that i'd try really hard to make sure that i didn't further taint her image of the band.  Since i was skipping out on cleaning, i promised hand-on-heart that i would not invite ryan up to the apartment.  when ryan buzzed the buzzer, then, why did i let him in?  i have no idea.  it just happened.  it's like appleseed cast makes me do horrible things.

When we got to the abbey, there was a line around the corner.  there's never a line at the abbey.  apparently asobi seksu can make one, though. well, that and only having one door guy to do the ticket sales and the will call.  Asobi seksu project their anti-rockstar, d+d nerd image by way of not having any lights on stage.  the music was good, but not good enough to make up for the lack of a show.

Appleseed Cast don't exactly have a massive stage precence, but it's not nothing.  At the last show, they lead with 'strings', and played an even amount of new songs, for the 4 or 5 that we saw.  this time, they played almost exclusively songs from Peregrine.  that's fine by me, i really liked the album, and thusly, the show.  I think ryan was a bit dissappointed, tho.
