coffee at alterra, my favorite of the few coffeehouses i've been to in milwaukee. jason burned his tongue on 300-degree tea. from there, we walked around the corner to the movie theater to see 'the darjeeling limited', which didn't grab me in the same way as the first few wes anderson films, but has, in a strange way, kept a certain 'glow' over my mood since the film ended. the closing credits featured a song in french about the champs-elysees, which i had learned to sing in seventh grade french class. i still know most of the words. haven't heard it in 22 years.
after the movie, we got on the road towards madison. jason drove with tom stack, and kip and i rode with john. into town, to a cool little basement-level bar under a restaurant. wood paneling, bad PA. bottomless pit did great - tim felt better after being sick last night, and aside from a PA malfunction, they played really well. we did fine - very involved with the "crowd" of 40 people. heather white and matt reedy didn't show up, even though they were on the guest list. robert and wika showed up, which was great, and they brought us a plastic green army men set, including tanks, which we spread out on the covered pool table, which were played with pretty continuously through the night by drunk folks. loaded out. kip rode home to chicago with chris manfrin, jason rode with tom, and john and i listened to jawbox most of the way back to tom's house in milwaukee around 4am. tom has a nice long couch.
