Non Sequiturs

Had a really fun weekend. Went to Mary's in East Atlanta on Friday night for the quarterly Manshaft party. This quarter's fetish was military. I should have worn my camo cargo pants but completely forgot about them and basically worn my usual t-shirt and jeans. The party was fun, but it was a lot more subdued due to the recent raid at the Atlanta Eagle. Even subdued it was still fun; hung out with Kurt and Steve and Barry. Saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in awhile.

Saturday night was a blast. Pet Shop Boys were playing outdoors at Chastain. Went with Chrissie, Dan and his new boyfriend Beau. We brought food and tons of wine.



They played all the hit songs and had an amazing light and video show. They even played a cover of Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Here are some pics taken from my Blackberry. They aren't the best pics, but you can get the gist of what we were seeing.



The stage before the show.



Go West.



Viva La Vida.



It's A Sin.



West End Girls.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Head

"We're all fine in the back of your mind
if we do what you like
then we could be with you tonight
if they bleed you dry
taken half the time
taken all your time."

The Twilight Sad
"I Became A Prostitute"

"Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on"

The XX
"Shelter"

"How should I hold this girlfriend?
As tight as I ever could?
Now, why should I?
No reason why.
You wore me down worse.
Did I show?"

Mew
"Repeaterbeater"

Finding the ugly truth out about someone you cared for once
