Hey Alan/David etc.
I broke my bone where my pinky toe meets my foot playing ultimate frisbee this weekend so I can't make it to the Hooky show tonight. I'm still in pretty severe pain and not walking without crutches. Completely bummed to miss the show but please tell me how it was. I really only wanted to go to get my copy of Low-Life signed but i'm pissed this happened when it did.

What the hell is that?
I missed it too. It's hard to get the husband to go out on a rainy Monday night, for a "disco." He's also very afraid of New Order geeks. :\ohwell:
Missed it as well Brian, today was my first day back at work after having the flu. Really sucks to hear about your injury, how long will your current condition last, and how've you managed to get up the stairs to your place?
I'll ring you later if you wanna catch a Mariners game sometime this summer, in lieu of any further decent gigs that might arise.
Managed to get out to it with the missus. Pretty packed early on, but started emptying out by the time Hooky came on (around midnight) after the opening bands played. He seemed in good spirits nevertheless, played some New Order and Joy Division remixes, some that I knew and others that I didn't. Only the rowdy few stuck it out to the end. Truth be told, you didn't miss much, just Hooky playing some odd music and miming along like he was actually mixing things (for example, turning some knobs to make it seem like he was making some of the little sound effects on that Crystal Method remix of BLT). Lots of hipsters and other trash there, not to mention people who thought they could crowd surf in an unpacked club (typical Seattle mentality). I was bored some of the time, and of course the "crowd" (if I can call it that) didn't know much else beside the predictable big 3 NO songs and 3 JD songs. Still it was a decent night out for the sake of being able to climb onstage and mumble something unintelligable to Hooky for a second.
We're really sorry about your hurt foot and hope it gets better soon. When we didn't see you there, we figured there was either some emergency or that maybe you were hanging out behind the scenes somewhere. Let me know when you're feeling better and we'll all have to go out sometime.
