Boba in My Briefs
Right now I’m sipping on this delightful tea sensation called Boba. I’m infatuated with this delicacy of luscious magnitude partaking in paradise is as easy as consuming this cappuccino milk tea infused with tapioca pearls and equipped with an oversized straw to suck up the gummy treats lurking at the bottom. The two best places in Denver to buy the Boba is Lollicup Tea Zone on Colorado Blvd or Pho 79 located on south Federal. Don’t get me started on Pho the Vietnamese soup...it is yet another tasty dish.
Today I woke and had the urge to put on my Spits shirt. It’s the one I’m wearing in my “I’m poor and I’m weird baby…” blog. The Spits are this little known Seattle punk band that sounds like a new wavish Ramones. Anywho the Spits are on the Dirtnap record label which used to be the label of The Briefs. Long story short I was wearing my favorite tee when I asked my girlfriend who was on the laptop to look up my used to be favorite Denver band The Symptoms last show (used to be because they are breaking up.) I thought the show was tonight at the Hi-Dive but come to find out their last show was Wednesday night. The Briefs were actually playing the Dive tonight. Synchronicity baby.
While at the show I saw #3 the old drummer from the Symptoms and stole a hug from his manly body. The crazy thing was I think his girlfriend used to be one of my MySpace buddies. She lived all the way in Colorado Springs because she went to school there. I met her on the site and we were blog pals. I remember reading the Great Gatsby in high school… (I actually read the entire book to my mom out loud because she is dyslexic and she was interested in the story.) The thing I found most unbelievable about its plot at the time was how all the characters were interrelated in such a way. I live in pseudo-big city called Denver and since I have read the book I can’t believe how small this world is…I was an infidel turned believer and tonight is one of the 100s of stories since the reading of The Great Gatsby were the magic force above…within…whatever has shown me the interdependence of everyone.
To come off of my new-age itch and for the sake of being trite…The Briefs did put on an amazing show. I have seen them play here in Denver about 7 times..OCD yeah you know me. They played three of my most prized listened treats Poor and Weird, (I Think) My Baby is a Communist and Dead in the Suburbs. To top it off I’m writing a blog while sipping the Boba…doesn’t take much to put me in the mood…lol.

I'll have to check out some shows. All this stuff about the Briefs has definitely got me interested.
That small world thing is no lie. I used to think it was just a side effect of living in a small town (I consider Minneapolis smallish). Once you start fragmenting the population into the various subgroups that are going to the same places and seeing the same bands, even big cities like London can get small. This can be good and bad, depending what you do and with whom! Ahem. The Great Gatsby is a great story; I haven't thought about that one in a while.
