Musical RL and Nerdy Fandom Loves...

[starvinbohemian]

On the RL front, my second interview with Jesse Rhodes went sooo much better! It helps when you've actually done your research and have a prepared list of questions. It was neat because I wasn't expecting to be interviewing real bands or performers (was expecting more local newbies), but this guy was previously signed with Warner when he was with his band, Stegosaurus. They opened for Weezer and so on. Anyway.

Maggie and I checked out the bar that I'm mainly previewing for, and it was fun. Fell in love with the band United by Sound. Also, Kathryn East came up to spend Saturday, and I did my best to get her drunk over a beer sampler set. To no avail.

On the fandom front, I have new fandoms! Yay! I've recently become obsessed with the Honeydew Syndrome web comic. The comic's adorable, and there's lots of fic! Yay! I'm in love with Charles/Metis, but the predominant fandom ship is definitely the canon couple, Josh/Metis. Ah, well. I adore Josh/Metis, but I'd still love to see more Charles/Metis fic.

I also finally checked out 3:10 to Yuma (wanted to see what [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] was so excited about. ;)), and I'm in love. Fandom loves Charlie, but I'm digging on Ben/Dan. Slashiest Western in existence, by the way.


P.S: Totally bought the Special Edition of Sweeney Todd! Eee!

I wanna go back, that was a great bar. And early this time so we don't look like such noobs.

*still has to see 3:10 to Yuma*

AND HEY, I also bought the special edition of Sweeney! :D Did you watch the special features yet? I haven't had time...I rather wanted to get the not-special-edition, only because I liked the cover better. But then I decided that I like the movie too much not to get the SE...

My exact thought process while considering the two options. XD I haven't watched them yet either.

Wow, does fandom love Charlie? I understand there are a lot of chicks just coming in who claim to, but since all they can ever offer in evidence is liking his jacket, I'm not absolutely convinced...

At any rate, glad you liked it! Ben/Dan is a worthy 'ship, too--probably far worthier, in the long run.;) It used to be the absolute backbone, up until we Charlie-girls started writing like maniacs. I'm hoping that disparity will readjust itself soon, because while I can't WRITE Ben/Dan, I can certainly appreciate it.

Lol. Well, it is an excellent jacket. ;)

And yes, I'm basing my statement on the fact that there seems to be an abundance of Charlie fic whereas I had a harder time finding Ben/Dan when I went fishing around.

I do love it. Fantastic movie.

3:10 to Yuma! I didn't think I would love that movie as much as I did.

So jealous about Sweeney. Everyone went out and got it the day it came out except for me. *emo moment*

3:10 is fantastic.

Sorry about Sweeney. You'll get it eventually.

It is a lot harder to find stuff on Ben/Dan, or just Dan. I guess the old saying 'blonds have more fun' is true in this case.

You'd think the Baleheads would have a field day with fics from this film. But noooo. Too busy with Lois or other women. Never mind poor, crazy Ben.

United by Sound. I'll try to have a listen when I'm somewhere with high falootin' speed.

[starvinbohemian.livejournal.com]

Lol. Damn those blondes. ;) I loves me some Dan.

"Poor, crazy Ben" is pretty much my favorite description of him ever.

When you get the chance, here's United by Sound's MySpace (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=18678843). They're really fantastic.

I feel special because I was mentioned. Lol. I totally dig that you call me Kathryn East. Haha.
