break my himan

i'm going to see andrew bird play at the funk box here in baltimore tonight. i think it's a strange pairing, andrew bird and a venue called the "funk box." he's about as far from funk as the pope is from gay-friendly, but the place is supposed to be intimate. is it so intimate that i can make out with andrew bird after the show? only time will tell.

speaking of making out with little-known musicians, tom and i went to the "voice of pride" final competition at central station on sunday and saw eric himan play. i could've met him, but i would've been red-faced and giggling like a 13-year-old girl, perm and plastic jewelry trembling with excitement. he's from pittsburgh and i've seen him in out magazine. do yourself a favor. google him for some pics. two words: sleeve tattoos.
