[okay, how retarded am i that i just posted a private joke on my own blog. ugh.]
this is a tam o'shanter:
this is not acceptable millinery for anyone. unless possibly you're a womble. or a bagpipe player. it is not okay to wear this out. it is not okay to think it's okay to wear it, even if it is to a place that in general has a flamboyant sense of dress.
tam o'shanters being worn out on the town: BANNED.

okay, so my first experience of CMJ is over. to summarise:
* we overdid the CMJ thing on thursday so that it pretty much killed doing anything else CMJ-related.
* i didn't get to see enough bands. it's a money thing. and a partying too much on thursday night so that the thought of heading over to bklyn on friday night was just too much (see above. and below).
* i did see everyone's new favourite band, Nightmare of You. they rocked. it was at CBGBs, i took my sister along (her first night in town, i think the poor thing was a little jetlagged but i ignored her plaintive cries of "sleep!") but i think the history of the place was lost on her.
* didn't attend enough after-parties, even though i was informed of some. we did hit up one at scenic on thursday. a late show or after party? i'm not too sure. i know i was talking to some english dude in the band tom vek but didn't know who they were [story of my life]. we talked our way in to the guest-list only show/afterparty, pretending to be other people.
* someone gave us a free bottle of ketel one at a hiphop club across the road from scenic. it's not really CMJ related, but a free bottle of vodka. that's always nice.
