Concerts and filing cabinets

I am annoyed.  I am annoyed because this morning I moved a bunch of furniture around to make room for a filing cabinet but when I went to Costco to purchase said filing cabinet, they ended up not having any.  Filing cabinets.  At all.

So I went over to Office Depot, and they have a cool looking one, but it's expensive and a weird "raw metal" color.  It looks dark grey on the Web site but more of a tan / grey in real life.  I like the recessed drawer pulls, but I might have to go with a basic black model now.  Thrilling, no?

In other news, I went to see Veruca Salt at Cafe du Nord last night.  By myself, Brandy being out of town and all.

While I normally dislike doing things by myself, I don't mind going to shows alone.  Don't get me wrong; I'll try to get people to accompany me, but I find it easier to take in the sounds and sights of a live show when on my own.  No worrying that the other person can't see, no trying to shout a conversation during your favorite song.

Other than the somewhat sparse attendance, it was a good show.  VS sounds as good as ever -- chunky guitars, neat hooks, lovely female vocal harmonies that erupt into yells.  A thoroughly enjoyable musical evening.

Last night's discovery, however, was Agent Sparks, the second opener.  (Admittedly, I missed The Strays, the first opener.)

Nice atmospheric pop with male / female vocals that ventures on occasion into the land of power chords.  Speaking of the female vocals, Stephanie Eitel is quite the cutie.  And you know how I love the cute female vocalists.  Almost as much as I love the hot female bassists.

Oh, wait.  I'm having a Melissa Auf der Maur moment.

Hmmm... much better.      :)

Have a lovely United Nations Day.
