Limited success
Mar. 2nd, 2006 06:26 pmI left the house socially last night - yes folks, that's twice in one week!
We went to the Fleece to see James Ray. Far better review than I could do here.
Except that I have never seen the appeal of James Ray, and I still don't. The wall of sound is impressive and neat and all, but I came out of the venue with a nasty case of tinnitus and still can't hear a damn thing.
Should have spent the extra money and gone to see Julian Cope the other week instead. If I'd known about that before it happened, that is.
However, I did enjoy both the incredibly generic support band and the ethereal-ish second band. And just being somewhere that was neither my office nor my house, wearing something that was neither a suit nor my pymanas, and having actual interaction with real live people cheered me up no end.
Auditory issues aside, I feel better today than I have any right to. Didn't start to suffer at work until 15 minutes before I could leave. Encouraging, but after effects of too much activity can wait up to 72 hours to hit me. I think I need a quiet weekend in just in case.
