Future Stain: Three Things We Noticed at the Hotpipes Show on Saturday

1. Hotpipes are snappy dressers. The spacesuits were rad, but the color-coordinated cover-alls that matched the vegetable-shaped head-gear were pretty damn awesome—like, Star Wars titles by Saul Bass awesome.

I am also declaring that "The Future Is Where We Belong" is the theme song for Summer '08—whether or not there will be dreamz involved is TBD.

2. Bathroom attendants at rock shows are completely unnecessary, especially when the bathroom is as small as the Exit/In men's room. If I have to pay someone when I leave a restroom, there better be a puddle of Little Sean's gliding down their gullet. I refuse to tip somebody for giving me soap—I CAN GET IT MY GAWDDAMN SELF, DAMNIT!!!

3. Cortney Tidwell basically sounds like Patti Smith fronting Lynyrd Skynyrd doing Faust covers—and that rules.

+1 on the bathroom attendants. although i just realized that even though i caught all 3 sets and had a couple beers, I didn't vist the restroom that night, weird.
the whole attendant thing is ridiculous, even more so than valet at 12th & P
