It's time again for everyone's favorite style of review! Ok, so I had to work on Friday at my new job, which was all good 'cause it's walking distance from Irving Plaza. Unfortunately, they had me doing deliveries in that awful rain, so my pants, shoes and socks got soaked. However, being the shorty I am, I wear platform boots to shows. I didn't want to wear those boots to work, so I had them in my bag to change into later. This would have been great-if my socks weren't drenched. So when my friends (both fruvirgins) met me, we went over to Kmart where I got $1.99 Kathy Ireland socks. It made all the difference in the world. Moving on... We made it to IP, my friends jumping in puddles along the way, so we were of course, quite drenched....only to get moreso waiting in line. The line was cold and wet and annoying, but nowhere near as bad as the Westbeth back in December. That was "please god, shoot me now" cold. We got inside, and after I stopped by the merch to say hi to Tobey, I staked out space stage Jian for me and my friends. We were all just glad to be warm and out of the rain. Sarah Harner came out and did a pretty good set. There was a lot of talking during her set, but it was further back in the venue. She finished, and Seeking Homer came on. I enjoyed their set a lot. They reminded me a lot of DMB given their sound and jamming tendencies. Their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was fantastic, and plenty of people shouted "PLAY BALL!" when it was over. They chuckled, as did the audience. Their set finished, and after a relatively long amount of time, but not TOO bad for Fruvous, the lads came out. While we were waiting, people were doing hand puppets on the screen that Irving Plaza keeps over the stage before bands come out. People did things like "moxy fruvous" and album names with their hands. It was really great. The set was excellent, and I got to see songs I hadn't seen yet. YWGTTM, KitA and Ash Hash were all special treats for me. YWGTTM had a false start, which was kinda funny. After that, someone noticed that Dave's beer had spilled, so that person got KitA. Whether or not that was on the setlist, I don't actually know, but it was appropriate *and* great. They played Minnie after Ash Hash, and I went to dance with my friend Andrew. The rest of the set was *really* dancable, so I ended up dancing with him the rest of the show and not being up front as usual. After the show, I got to give Jian the gift I had for him. (A piece of paper with his name written on it in Celtic Knotwork lettering.) I had gifts for the other lads, but I didn't get to see them that night. I introduced my other friend, Erin, to Jian. He asked her if she liked the show, and she said she'd enjoyed it. I said that this wasn't entirely her cup of tea, that she is a major KISS fan, which she is. At this point, Jian starts singing Love Gun, and she sang along with him. I said to him, "Uh oh, I think you just got another groupie!"and we all laughed. Andrew, through all this, was pretty much passed out on the floor. ; ) I went home, looking forward to hitting the road Saturday afternoon and going up to NoHo.... see you next review! - -J writing a song called the Ballad of Jill V.

(Or maybe I just finally cracked) Warning, pretty So I'm sitting at home, watching a movie, when it hit me. I mean, slam, pound in the head. Independence Day isn't about a relationship, or a problem, or any of those other theories. It's about Mary Poppins. Really. Just mixed up. My theory is he (Murray, or whoever wrote it) mixed up the sequence of events to further confuse us. Because it all makes perfect sense as long as you don't care about chronological order. Here's the proof: The streamers were red and gold. --- Bert's Blazer has red and gold stripes while in the chalk drawing --- And all of the stores stayed closed. --- The run on the bank, causing it to close, etc. --- And everybody couldn't wait, For the fireworks display. --- It's really sarcasm. Everybody *can't wait* for the "fireworks" from the admiral's canon, when they have to run to their "posts" every hour, on the hour, to stop breakable things. --- The city had a hot dog stand, and lovers walked hand in hand. -- working on it.. --- And me standing there alone, Except for the clowns I suppose. --- Either Bert, standing alone near his chalk pictures, or with the clowning around chimney sweeps. Or Mr. Banks feeling normal, except everyone else is all giddy and clown like. --- And the people came around on Independence Day --- it's really about the Women's Vote thing. Independence from the old ways. --- And the children let go their balloons and flew away. --- They let go their balloons for something better...KITES! flew away could mean anything...the laughing and going to the ceiling...millions of possiblities. --- Then the wind swung around to the east --- like it always does before Mary Poppins comes. (Or leaves...I forget which) --- And the rain came down in sheets. --- Washing away all the chalk pictures --- I saw trees bending to the ground, And people running all around. --- It wasn't referring to the rain...he merely put it after that to make you THINK it was the rain. It's really referring to the wind..When it blew furiously, bending trees, and sending all the nannies flying. --- I stuck my hand into my coat, Felt the letter that you wrote. --- When Mary pulls out the taped-together ad for a nanny that Jane and Michael wrote --- I said "This is Independence Day, I wonder how I'll celebrate?" --- Also has nothing to do with the previous part. It's referring to getting the votes for women again. Our daughter's daughters will adore us and theyll sing in grateful chorus! --- And the people came around on Independence Day And the children let go their balloons and flew away. --- we went through this already --- Red and gold, bleed down to black. --- When the chalk picture is washed away, Bert's red and gold blazer suddenly turns back to his black coat --- Once it's gone, it won't come back. --- referring to the ruined chalk pictures, which Mary points out --- And the people came around on Independence Day And the children let go their balloons and flew away. Geneveive, I do believe I can't go on this way, Now I know what freedom is on Independence Day. --- Several options here. The banker guy realizing he can't be grouchy all the time and dies laughing at the joke and now he knows what freedom is. Or ~Mr. Banks finding his child's wooden leg joke funny and finally realizing freedom from his grouchiness, or ~ Mary Poppins knowing she can't care for the kids anymore, and being free to move on to her next project. I know, it's weak.
