Drove up with Jo. Liked openers Something To Do so much that we bought some records. Jo liked Rodeo Boys; I appreciated them (they did seem like swell folks), but I wasn't that into them. Catbite killed it. Closed with Sound System.

Body Futures, Nonagon at Frank's Power Plant
At the relatively last minute (found out about the show the day before), i rode the motorbike up to Milwaukee to see the Nonagons. I missed the opening band (dunno who they were) because i missed the exit and ended up driving through downtown Milwaukee. And, of course, i was running late as usual.
The bar had a nice logo. Spent most of my mental energy at the show re-designing it for our house. Nothing will ever come of that, but i gotta think about something, right?
Nonagon and Body Futures were great. Apparently Body Futures have a new record that is imminent. I'll have to get that.
I met an old friend of Johno's, Alan, who seemed alright. And he didn't seem to hate me either.
We saw a coyote in the parking lot after the show. That's 2 urban* coyote spottings in the last month, for those of you scoring at home.
I caught some rain on the way home, but don't worry - i dried off before i even got home.
*I'm calling Wheaton 'urban' for this purpose. And for this purpose only.

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at Summerfest
Amy and i drove up to see Strummer the day after i had caught him at the Metro. She was 7 months pregnant with Emmett at the time (who we were calling "Lump"). How's that for love?
Strummer was good. Not as good as the night before, but that might have been the venue (outdoors, etc.). I did notice that he did, in fact, change the ad libbed parts of the songs to reflect the fact that we were in Wisconsin and not Chicago.

Violent Femmes, Fishbone, Jellyfish at Summerfest
I distinctly remember motorbiking up to Milwaukee with Lisa on the back of the bike. Everyone else was in, I think, Morgue's car. I remember swimming in the lake during the day, despite the fact that i doubt we were supposed to.
Violent Femmes were great, but only a fool follows Fishbone.
