What I've done recently:
Gone to a
Gogol Bordello show with
rebelzero ("Eastern European folk music, Jewish klezmer, Jamaican dub and handlebar moustaches collide"). The good news: more Mountain Dew and less red wine lead to more wakefulness. The bad news: the agreed-upon dance form at this show was moshing. (For those who haven't met me, I'm 5'1" on a good day, putting my face at shoulder/swinging elbow level of an awful lot of people.) They put on a great show, but I might be the only person who prefers listening to them
outside of a club context.
What I've not done recently:
Gone to
Otakon. I was feeling crappy, so I completely skipped it, instead moping around, napping, and watching
Haibane Renmei and
The Cat Returns. I'm sorry I missed you,
delayedneutron,
rydain, et al! I seem to be feeling better now. My timing sucks, though.
