From 12/3 when Nico Vega were at Jack Rabbits. It was another private show. And I’m still so completely moved by the truth of their performances. Video does it no justice. It is something to be experienced before you die. No hyperbole here. Aja danced with her guttural exuberance and passion. For 45 minutes I thought of nothing else.

In the modeling lost + found this week. Shoes, sunglasses and a strapless bra! Claim them or trade up for something better! I purchased my Nico Vega tickets for Orlando. I love them so much that I basically traded in two weeks worth of food for the tickets. But, honestly, experiential outings are worth so much more than food.
In other news, I’m listening to The Whispertown 2000‘s new work, Swim. I dig it big time. Right now, music is keeping me sane. And the generosity of friends and family. Plans for tomorrow: read more on SEO, ignore more twits following me because I mentioned SEO, mess around with XML in an app I’m developing for work, and consume Juicy Fruit for brunch. Wish me luck, fools.

Just after midnight, I’m driving home in some of the worst fog I can remember. It made me feel singular and alone. Far away from everything, encapsulated. But, not sad. It was almost like looking through a long-exposure in real life. Every now and then you experience something that feels real. Most of what we call real falls into the category of contrivance. Daily bullshit. Minutiae. Whatever. I had that same, insular, singular feeling earlier in the night. This parallel feeling of singularity, regardless of company and affects notwithstanding. I saw Nico Vega play- emote-channel. It’s one time that maybe insane smallness of audience augmented a performance. I am at this moment deciding whether or not I can even look up their music. I’m purposely not googling them before I write anything. I want to remember tonight as it was. I feel like anything else I see could only taint the perfection. Obviously I’ll get over it sooner or later, but like the idealized image of a loved one you don’t see anymore…I want to hold on to it. When I saw the BSO perform, my mind went through similar machinations. There’s the quiet before the adagio and my mind races. The same thing happened tonight. Being both completely in the moment and so completely removed. I can’t even describe with any justice how beautiful it felt. My mind was both completely flooded and serene. A moment rare for me. So, let me have it while it lasts.
