The Gordon Biersch party was not enough for some of the Kamehameha Schools Class of ’94, so when the first party ended, we continued on to The Living Room at The Wharf, a 4 am bar down the road. Dallas, Kilo, Nalani, Brandy, Jay, Donovan, Chris, Sheri, Alika, Kamu, Maile, Jacque, Khira, and I claimed an area of the bar that was like a raised room on its own with a pool table.

We sat around and drank more and played pool.

Then Dallas got the camera out and started taking photos of people. This made them happy, as you can tell from this photo.

Kirah just wanted to go home.

At some point around 3 am (?) we were all really tired. Some people did the sensible thing and went home. Dallas, Kilo, Brandy, Jay, Donovan, Kamu, Chris and I instead went to have breakfast at Wailana Coffee House. When Donovan started falling asleep in his wor wonton mein, we realized that the night had to end at some point. And besides, we were going to see most people the next day. So, Dallas and I said our goodbyes. We got back to the hotel at something like 4 am.

1. Has anyone read any good books on web design, web development, interaction design, information architecture, and/or photography lately?

2. My billing cycle ends next week and includes charges for my bandwidth overage from when I was getting 2,000 – 3,000 hits/day to the Street Writing Project. The bill is only going to be about $112 but that’s $112 that won’t be spent on your Christmas presents! If you want to donate a dollar (or two) to my hosting bill click here. After I pay this bill, the problem should be fixed since Peter is hosting the project for me on 3jane servers.

3. I’m experimenting with an “On This Day” feature on the right-hand sidebar. It will list posts from the current day on previous years. I’m not sure it’s working right yet, so be patient with it for a while.

4. I’m currently wondering why I’m so tired, why airfare is so expensive, if I could live in Chicago, if my niece’s eyes will stay blue, and what Kelly & Jeff & I will be up to when they get here on Saturday. I’m feeling a bit depressed about holiday weight gain (and Christmas isn’t even here yet!) but am managing to enjoy Lou Bega’s Mambo #5 and the photo above I found from my visit to The Living Room in October.

Pas/Cal at the Living Room

A few months ago Eric gave me some mp3s and said “Rachelle, you’ve got to check out this band!”. Thus began my obsession with Pas/Cal. When I heard that they were going to be playing at The Living Room as part of the CMJ Music Marathon I got very excited. Pas/Cal hails out of Detroit, MI and isn’t yet doing national tours. Most of their gigs are local to the Detroit/Dearborn area so I knew I could not miss the show on Friday night. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint in the least. If possible, I like them even more now.

I was surprised when Pas/Cal came out and they have 7 members in their band. Casimer Pascal & LTD (Little Tommy Daniels) formed Pas/Cal in 2001. Casimer plays lead guitar and sings lead vocals and LTD is the drummer. Soon the band grew to include guitarist Gene Corduroy, Amy (Bem) Bem on vocals/keyboard/percussion, Nathan Burgundy on bass and Richard Panic on keyboards. In January of this year Pas/Cal recorded their first EP, The Handbag Memoirs, on Le Grand Magistery. Their second EP, Oh Honey, We’re Ridiculous, is due out soon.

Ok. So .. I knew Casimer’s voice was good, but I wasn’t prepared when he walked up to the mic in a 3-piece suit with his hands on his hips and belted out the opening lines of This Ain’t For Everyone. He has a beautiful voice. His stage presence has him bouncing all over and he’s got that so-nerdy-it-hurts-HOT thang going on. Kind of like Beck, but not. The show was great, I didn’t look away for one second. They played four songs from The Handbag Memoirs and about 3 more that will be on Oh Honey, We’re Rediculous. After the show, on the way out, I stopped and talked to Casimer to tell him what a great show it was. Also spoke to the keyboardist about the band, about Friendster, and about buying an EP.

Movie Clips (the visual on these isn’t that great because of the lighting, but the audio is good. All are .mov files and around 350k):

- Holiday Sweater
- I’d Bet My Life that You’d Bet Your Life
- The Bronze Beach Boys (Come on Let’s Go)
- Casimer’s clapping instruction
- Clapping into the last song
