Seriously.

If you're wondering why I haven't written about many shows lately it's because I haven't BEEN to many shows lately. I am always sleepy and, to be frank, cheap as hell and not into driving across town. Last night was D Striker, and the draw here is that he only does shows on Fridays numbered thirteen. Since I haven't seen a D Striker show in about three years I figured it was time to get back and see him again.

It bears noting that I am always tired on Fridays. Seriously--if I'm at home I'm asleep by 8. I just can't do the good times lifestyle anymore. I really wasn't sure I'd be up for the whole evening. I started at the Untitled show out at the University of Phoenix near the airport. This is what I love about Untitled--every space is a potential gallery. Afterward I decided to go see Mandy but still wasn't willing to commit to a full night out.

I ended up having the full night out. It was fun!

I won't go into gory details because they're boring, but aside from the smoke (I tried to spend a lot of time outside to avoid it) I'm glad I stayed through since Hands Down Eugene reminded me why they're so great (even breaking out "Full Blast"!)Casey Sanders joined Hands Down Eugene onstage to sing "Calls and Walls" and "The Bleeder." I haven't heard these songs in ages. All that was missing was Katherine. D Striker is always hilarious and fun. Caitlin Rose was new to me and I was very impressed.
