Five Guys > In-N-Out

In-N-Out didn't meet the hype. Five Guys burgers and fries are unquestionably superior. I still have to try Fat Burger.

what kind of guitar

i think i might get an American Strat. an upgrade from my vintage style (small fretboard radius) japanese strat. that's what i'm used to.

or maybe i should try something totally different and go for a gibson les paul. those are real popular for some reason even though they seem kind of heavy.

or maybe i should get some kind of semi-hollow body. i think ted leo plays one of those.

i want something versatile that can play different styles of music. a 50/50 mix of indie and punk rock with a splash of reggae and little sprinkles of metalcore.

rubbernecking

people drive super fast on the freeways here, but they slow down for anything on the side of the road. also, i think the radio stations are better here: more indie/punk rock.

Second Saturday

If you're into music and you want to visit me here in Sac Town, make sure you visit on the second Saturday of the month. They have all these local bands playing for free on the streets all through Midtown, along with art galleries, stores, and people selling their art and trinkets. At 18th and Capitol I saw this indie rock band called The Matinee Idols who covered some Elliott and The Shins. At this artists' co-op bands were playing in a little gazebo; that was more of a younger crowd of college kids.

A lot of people play in bands here. I've met people who play in Another Damn Disappointment, Vol 4, and The Snobs. I haven't been to any shows yet, but some of the venues I hear of are Old Ironsides, The Distillery, and The Boardwalk. After settling in for a few more weeks and after buying a new guitar and amp, I'll work on starting a band.
