Tweet This
I’ve been sucked into Twitter. It’s true. I joined initially when it first went live cause you know I’m cutting edge. I think I used it maybe 15 times then abandoned it for booze. Anyway I was sitting at work and She Who Will Not Facebook told me about Shia Lebeouf’s comment about his mother and how he wouldn’t mind tapping that ass. Well I had to tell him that it is inappropriate to talk about your mom that way. So I used the old librarian skills and discovered his twitter account.
I followed him for about a week before he said something that I could reply to that pertained to tapping ass/mom/inappropriateness, but that week was all it took. I was hooked. Now I was following BrooklynVegan, The L Magazine, and some of my favorite bands. I wasn’t actually going to the websites as much and missed the announcement of Mika, but did know that The Teenagers were playing at the Seaport.
I love The Teenagers because they are French and fabulous. And some of there lyrics are about getting off your computer–how could I not love them.
Anyway I went to the show. It was a little chilly out and not at all crowded, or even populated. It was awkward. I still had a great time, I managed to avoid showing up in the photos and dogded being forced to sing into the microphone. I was debated sticking around for Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but it was chilly.
I bailed and decided to hit the after party where they were spinning. I went home to drop my bag and get a jacket. I checked Twitter as I got home and Le Poisson Rouge said that they would release more Mika tickets. There went me hitting the after party…cause it is Mika at Le Poisson Rouge.
So I then spent the evening jumping through hoops to get my tickets, of course I could have just waited till the next day when they just gave away the password but where is the fun in that? Besides The Teenagers are in town for the weekend and are spinning for the Peaches Afterparty.
Today I got a mix from Mercury Lounge thanks to the Tweet.
What’s the lesson here? Twitter is good.
