it's wednesday, last night was
it's wednesday, last night was a superfun evening, went to a punk show and saw garuda from texas. i feel like i saw them a long time ago in reno, they were excellent last night. met this guy named erick at the show, i asked him if any bands had played and he said yes with a very mexican accent. he ended up being from mexico, we talked for a while, watched some bands play, and he said i could stay at his house. we hung out at the show a bit longer, met some other kids from here, the scene is a little better but sorta weird in the same way the reno one is. erick told me tons of stories about living in mexico city, he said he'd give me his friends' contact info their so when i pass through d.f. as they call it i'll have a place to stay. we got burritos and hung out at his house in north vegas, also known as the ghetto by everyone here, and listened to early 90's mexican hardcore. it was weird to meet a mexican contemporary, he's vegetarian, jewish, and is all political and stuff. he also drives a camaro and has 3 different girlfriends, so we aren't totally similar. it was good to speak some spanish, made me anxious to get down there. not too long now. anyways, a good night. today i went with my friend brett to green valley, a suburban hellhole outside of vegas, i hung out and read books while he worked, man i've never been anywhere so devoid of soul, it was strip mall after strip mall, one corporate chain store after another, it freaked me out. there was a wild oats though, so i got some good food at least. anyways, watch out for green valley, it was very gross.
