And in funner news, I had a fantastic weekend.

While not quite so glamorous and show-ful as Genevieve and George's, I did get to see World Inferno Friendship Society perform Peter Lorre's 20th Century again on Friday night at Webster Hall. We were given details that this was to be a taping for a DVD, although that may or may not actually be true. We arrived in the city at around 7:30 only to find out that the 8:00 tickets really meant 9:30. Jordana was able to get us in protected from the cold a bit early and then we hung around chatting and taking in the atmosphere until 9:30.

Genevieve found herself a perch in the corner of the balcony where she could see some of the stage and all of the audience and George and I found what turned into choice spots in the center of the balcony. First few songs had us struggling a bit to see, but as the crowd shifted, we were able to move up to the railing and have an absolutely perfect view, of stage and mosh pit. The mix of punk, ska, rock, and jazz is something that's pleased me from the beginning and this show was even better than the last ones. They added some material and were spot on with the numbers. It was hilarious, sad, uplifting, and really fun. It's a great show, and I hope one way or another it ends up on DVD. They played six or seven songs from other albums after the scripted show, all of which I liked quite a bit. I've got to start collecting more of their music. I danced practically the whole time and enjoyed myself more than I have fro a concert in a long time. My feet were not so pleased with me when the evening was over, but it was worth it. I also finally picked up a real copy of the album the show is for.

And as much as I love cheeseburgers, I rarely enjoy them as much as I did the one I got at the diner on our way home. But that was mostly because it'd been 12 hours and a whole lotta dancing between meals. We got home around 3 AM, I took a very relaxing shower, and then spent another three hours chatting with George, which was really nice since we don't get to as much anymore.

Saturday, with the snow and all, forced and not-very-opposed lazy day on us. We did make it out to the jeweler to see about getting my ring fixed (which should hopefully be ready this weekend) and the supermarket, where we should never go when we're hungry. After that we settled in for much drinking, food, many episodes of The Simpsons, Working Girl, and National Treasure (which I liked quite a bit!).

Sunday was similarly lazy for Michael and I. We ordered Chinese, played video games, vegged, watched some Star Trek,and talked. Very nice, relaxing, day. Definitely the kind of weekend I needed.

And now, back to work. At least for another 10 minutes and then back to home for today. :)
