Stereolab in Portland  − 1 April, 1999

Drove up to Portland for the night with Ben and Brent to see Stereolab. I think I brought Satan along too, because I can't imagine she'd let me do that without her. Then again, I can't imagine her letting me smoke as much as I did on that trip. I was such an asshole in those days. Anyway, Stereolab was pretty damn good in concert. The drummer from Sleater Kinney played a set with them too. Everyone in the crowd was like "oooh sleater kinney." They were not big where I'd come from, so I didn't see the big deal. Drums are drums, I thought. I even felt a bit jipped because the Sterolab drummer wasn't playing. But then I thought, "Does Stereolab even have a drummer at all?" Like I said. I smoked too much. :-)
