petronia

I mean "this is not usually the time of year, except for some reason May 2010 has deigned to grace us with both SNOW and THIRTY DEGREE CELSIUS HEAT WAVE." I actually broke down and had to turn the AC on; normally I hold out for as long as I can while exercising my God-given right to pad around the house in sarongs and oversize kurtis. In May. In Canada. (And while grocery shopping in Cote-des-Neiges, where I was certainly not the only one.)

HERE COME THE DRUMS (MUTEK planz)

* Wednesday (tonight): too busy. orz Gym, barbecue, possibly gaming.

* Thursday: pick up tickets at Monument-National (Saint-Laurent below Saint-Catherine). Get smashed at beer fest (6PM), check out The Caretaker / Nurse With Wound at A/Visions ($25, 8PM).

* Friday: Nocturne 3 w/ Ikonika and Shed? Will depend on how poor(ly) I'm feeling and who else is going ($35, SAT/Club Soda... what is this "going outside to get to the other venue" bs)

* Saturday: Piknic all day ($10 - apparently they've relented and allow you to bring booze if it comes with a picnic lunch), followed by Señor Coconut, followed by checking out the Extra-Muros nonnsense. I have been ranting about this all weekend but what genius came up with the idea of getting Señor Coconut to play a Montreal government-sponsored summer-festival free outdoors concert. "Hmm who can we ask who has experimental techno nerdboi cred but whose set isn't oonceoonceoonceoonce for four hours straight."

* Sunday: Piknic again, weather willing. Maybe Nocturne 5? Actually I'm probably more up for N5 (Moritz von Oswald Trio!) than N3, but it will be easier to find a group for N3 and I'll be too tired for both. asdfe'lr;;; why won't Luomo play as Luomo.

* Monday: prepare retrospective... and translate it into Chinese for hour-long show. >_>
