I was going through a shoebox last night, looking at old postcards I’ve received, plane and train tickets, copies of my fanzine, and other artifacts. I came upon a ticket stub for the last show I attended at the Greek Theatre. Bizarrely, it was four years to the day from yesterday: August 10 2002. That was a hot, hot day. And yay for ticket stubs. Right under it was the one for the Elliott Smith show in 1999. Boo hoo.

I also found my London Underground Travelcard ID from 1996, which features one of my favorite photos of myself. I will scan it later. I was very blonde and I look very mean, kind of a snarl on my red mouth. It looks like a mug shot. I love it.

I’m not bringing my camera tonight. Photos taken from anywhere but right next to the stage at shows are 99% of the time not worth it. I am better off just enjoying myself than fumbling around with a camera so I can get a blurry, long-range, awkward photo of Spoon.
