im in vancouver. got here yesterday, had the day off today. not really off, but yknow, no concert or whatever. flickred a little: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristinklein/ actually, i have been doing this alot. i guess when i figured out it was so easy to do, straight from my phone. i had also seen a friends flickr page that was all camera phone pics, and was into how instant and shitty the qualtiy of photos are. i did nothing exciting here, except take the teens to the junkie street in vancouver, hastings. its literally like zombies sitting on the sidewalk nodding out and asking for money or just shooting up in a doorway. i l saw probably a hundred needles in a 3 block stretch. somehow im not depressed by this, but enthralled, and thats kinda fucked up. i know.
so i feel super crazy, and i finished my work load for the day. this is what i got done:
* making a press schedule for the teenagers for tomorrow, a well as the updated final daily itin. tomorrow is the first show of their tour, so i think everyone is maybe a little bit nervous
* set up sweet new travel printer, its fucking seriously tiny and turbo-ruling right now. installed soft ware and showed it whos boss.
*advanced the shows for chicago and toronto
*organized the receipts so far, and updated the budget
*rented last minute rental van for la and sf, because of shitty backline company in la kinda dicked me over at the last minute.
the whole time i was doing all of these things i was very distracted, and still am, hoping my weird new years thirst for voyeurism and vanity via the internet doesnt fully take over my life, but kinda ok if it does? also some weirdness via email with this christmas clusterfuck i was in thats occupying a lot of my brain, and the fact that it is snowing at home and im not there for that, and the anxiety of a new tour with 5 ppl i dont know at all and what if they think im fucking nuts? but these distractions, they are so distracting, and alot of the distraction is also stemmed in uncertainty so maybe im projecting? i dont know. i wanna figure out how to make a word a link to something, ala jens hilarious links to psychological conditions. see the aweomeness that has made me be a better or a lesser person, depending. http://vampirecandy.blogspot.com/
i had always seen jen around and thought she ruled from afar, a girl crush if you will. then julie got married and i met her and we hung out for like 3 times or something, and briefly at that then jen moved to bmore. but we have interneted, and thrift stored, so its full on. jen makes these great spooky drawings and comic zines, and does really cool eye makeup and fixes everything by hand, like sewing and decorating. i imagine jen would be really good at either living in the wild west way back when, like on a desolate farm where all there is to do is grow potatos and make things, and she would have outrageous outfits with puffy sleeves and books full of drawings of dying catus and horse skulls and a hand made bed or something insane, or a victorian master mind, again with really outrageous puffy sleeves ( these are very important to the aesthetic of my imaginary jen k) but she would be the person making fucked doilies or sewing death quilts or whatever, and gardening with her hands all dirty, not like the other victorian stuck up bitches and basically living an amazing existence sans all ppl and technology, just like way back when. none of this really makes sense, it does in my head though, so whateves.
but this blog jen has, is awesome, and it has given me a new perception of blogs in general, as all i know of blogging is from the deerhunter blog http://deerhuntertheband.blogspot.com/. and i like the dh blog for what it is, but because so many ppl go to it, and a lot of people get a daily dose of feel goodness or whatever from it. like its perfect for fans, and if my fav band when i was their age had such direct contact with me, id be all the fuck over it. i always frowned at the idea of me getting too personal on it. ppl dont go to the dh blog to read about me, im not deerhunter, yknow? ill update about rap music and dead friends everyonceinawhile but thats it.
but after fully seeing jens today, i was enthralled and also like, i could totally do this, even though i am an internet retard, and its also kinda a cool thing for me to do becasue i travel all the damn time and never see my friends anymore. well i see them, but its fleeting, like for 4 hours in a club in wherever. and im getting more and more horrible at communicating, i think from my lack of placement? need to socialize? so im super spazzy and awkward all the time, and when i used to be funny im getting all sweaty palmed and panicky. yikes. but maybe if i reach out on the internet...oh fuck all that makes it even worse cause people that can only exist on the internet suck. i dont wanna be like that. like oz behind his curtain or whatever, you re-enter the real world and its a fucking bummer.
now im all confused. at least i know jen is ruling somwhere in baltimore. heres a funny instant message i am having with bradford:
