Spent some time helping out down at Kulture. Took monday off and caught up on some errands. Finally got around to getting my motorcycle endorsement on my license. Did some reading (surprise, my current reading fixation seems to be books about motorcycles, go figure…).

Checked out z_kungfu’s bar space. Went for a ride with z_kungfu and mrs_esterhaus.
Soccer Sunday. Again, proving I should exercise. Managed to twist my ankle a bit. Went for a another ride up around the Falls Lake area.
Then off to see Rasputina with badger. Opening band was called Tarantula AD, and was pretty cool. At various points reminded me a bit of Wetton era King Crimson, Fantomas, or Krakatoa. Picked up a cd.
Rasputina was pretty good. I wasn’t really familiar with them at all, so wasn’t sure what to expect. The primary vocalist has a very cool voice, at times reminding me of Laurie Anderson (particular on a song that I think was “Signs of the Zodiac”?) and Cyndi Lauper (a pretty strong accent…). Pretty entertaining. Spotted leslieerin and a few other folks.
