Saw 'em both tonight at Club Moscow (aka, Boardner's) in Hollywood.
Idlewild fuckin' owned the club! Having Roddy jumping off the stage and singing at my feet was too good to be true! At one point, he just looks at me from the stage, says "Hi! How are ya?" and shook my hand. Asking me to sing along to the last song was rather embarassing when I didn't know the words. His response? "That's ok, neither do I!" God, I love him! A short set, eight songs in all. It didn't matter, though, when they started it off singing "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones, you knew it was gonna be a blast!
Rod J (guitarist) is almost 100% recovered after his incident over the weekend (see my thread from yesterday regarding my friend, Diane, treating him after the San Diego show). As we were eating dinner, he phoned Diane to make certain that she was showing up tonight and "how many shall I put on the guest list?" So goddamn nice!
We hung out as long as we could without being intrusive and finally called it a night. As we were leaving, we saw a surge of paparazzi following someone...Ohhh, look, it's Heather Graham! (Stupidly, I thought it was Scarlet Johanssen at first...ooops!) She was with a chubby guy, dunno if it was her man or a friend. Didn't care. They were leaving and attempting to escape the film freaks chasing her.
Dri? I met Chuckie and you were right! When I told him you said "hi"...he responsed with, "Everytime you come back, your drink is gonna get stiffer." Dude, he didn't lie about that one bit! Second drink was BAAAAAAARELY tinted pink (GG and Cran, baby). Problem was, each drink fuckin' cost me TEN BUCKS!!!
A great night...loads of fun...and I get tomorrow off. It feels good to be a rockstar again.
