As I mentioned two posts ago, I went and saw The Cure two days ago. The Austin Music Hall has a general admission capacity of about 4000. It was a sold-out show. They could have just as easily sold out the Frank Erwin Center, which is, for those of you who don't know much about Austin, much bigger. Anyway, I got to the Music Hall early enough to get a good place to stand. I ended up about five rows of people shorter than me back from the stage and pretty close to the center. Pretty damn good. So was the show. The opening band, 65 Days of Static, was worthy, and as for The Cure themselves, they put on a spectacular show, playing a lot of live rarities and filling both encore sets entirely with oldies. You have to admit that there's something admirable about a band that's been going strong for 30 years and is still willing to end a show with their first single.
I've also started something else to see how it turns out. It's at the recommendation of my mother (did I mention I'm going out of my fucking mind?) and I call it...
The Dirty Hippie Experiment!!!
Anyway, the basic premise is that it will be better for my hair to stop using shampoo. I'm on my second day of just using conditioner. Supposedly it will stop being visibly greasy after a while. On the positive side, I've got less frizz and more body. I'm still going to have to cut it to get rid of the biblical plague of split ends. More results will follow as the experiment continues.
Normally, this would be the part where I end the post with a stupid failure of a joke about shit or dead babies or something equally distasteful, but I have to hit the can and I can't think of anything else.
