For Katie

Katie is in school...two hours away from Kitty

Kitty is an annoying cat

She is also very fluffy

I lost the internet last night, so I couldn't post this until today. I went and watched Heathers - it was awesome

Summer on the horizon...

Sounds like a band name don't it?

Looking ahead -

Warped Tour-ing
Moving back home
Putting together a collection
Writing about a bunch of new music & tours (so happy!)
Being stressed out by everything!

Song of the Day - "If U Seek Amy"

"If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

Ok, so the damn song grew on me. Still is really stupid though. Some chick was listening to it in her car at the mall and then it came on twice on the ride back. So...'love me, hate me, say what you want about me...'

Song of the Day - May 13th

I'm going to be doing a song of day!

Why? Because then you can be singing what I got stuck in my head. Could possibly be the same song each day too. hahha, no seriously - whatever is stuck in my head will go here.

First song -



"Baby Lou Tattoo"

Fun, upbeat, mentions the Misfits and I love how she says 'tattoo'

Show Review: Bouncing Souls with The Loved Ones

The Crazy Donkey, Long Island, NY

umm...I've never been to the Crazy Donkey, but have wanted to go b/c a lot of cool shows have passed through here.

NEVER AGAIN! Almost as bad as Toad's Place in New Haven.

Toad's Place was fine venue wise, but the people & townies - HORRID!

Crazy Donkey had a 'meh' crowd, but the internal layout was awkward and made the designer for Irving Plaza seem like a genius.

It was hard to work your way into the place for starters - everyone was hanging around outside,smoking & drinking and it felt like we were at a house party - perfectly fine if there wasn't two AMAZING bands getting ready to play.

We came in just in time for THE LOVED ONES and they were great. Played mainly older songs. And then a cover by the dude from Bright Eyes - so my friends informed me.

I got like body checked by this horrid drunken idiot, I think I have a bruise on my lower back. Everyone else did not like him and he got beat up in the pit, haha.

Just wonderful and worth the trip out there.

THE BOUNCING SOULS are always so fun even though I'm not 100% familiar with their catalog. But...something was lacking.

Last night they played in Asbury Park - it's like basically home and I'm still surprised it was not the last show of the tour.

So tonight, it was like something was off. It was their singer, Greg. Now. He's not like the crazy frontman or one that makes a lot of small talk, but you could tell something was off and I felt bad for him.

Maybe I'm wrong, but seriously - he was either really tired, something heavy was on his mind or he was on something.

Vocally, he was fine. It was cool to see how little effort he has to do besides open his mouth and pretty damn perfect vocals come out. But even his smiles felt forced. Didn't help that the people in Long Island SUCK.

Oh wells. They played "True Believers," "Here We Go" and "Lean on Sheena" - that made me happy.

New Blogs!

This week I took a look at Cinema Bizarre.



My Birthday Massacre show review is also up (I'm a little cleaner and more focused on show reviews outside this blog)

ShutUpMagazine.com


I think I'm going to start doing video blogs too. I'll upload them to my buzznet (sibylvain.buzznet.com), but embed the video here too. It'll just be in regards to the fact I have a new hair do (though I'm going to dye it AGAIN Tuesday) and the items I'm working on for the collection I'm doing.

Ugh! I want to do like a show or something in the fall with all I'm coming up with. Anybody got any ideas how to do this or know events in NYC that would I might have a shot at being part of?

I'm trying to finally get my teeth whiter...strips suck!

Sewing Machines & The Bouncing Souls

Last night I almost had a nervous breakdown. My sewing machine does not want to sew.

I'm working on skirts for this lovely designer, however, the test material we bought gets sucked under the plate where the needle goes in to catch the bobbin thread. I think the material is just too thin and slinky, but still! It's not fun when a huge part of what you do (no, make that 1/3 of how you do things - serger being 1 and fabric being 2) doesn't work.

I'm going to see if it'll be nice today.

If not...I'm taking a bat to it and going to see The Bouncing Souls and The Loved Ones tonight! yay!
