Faster Pussycat at the Key Club, Hollywood, 3.5.11

This was the start of a long day.

I woke up in HB at my friend Leslis.. my friends Jill, Bob, Lesli and I started off the day by watching "exit through the gift shop".. a great documentary by Banksy, the street artist, about the street art scene and some of the artists..

Finally heading home with enough time to shower and do my hair.. no makeup.. im rockin it.

Head up to Taime's house in LA, and grab the merch to head over to the Key Club. Xristian and I arrive, load in, and start gettin shit together. The boys soundcheck, and I head over to Frankie's pizza for some food.. yummm. be jealous.

The show starts fairly early, at 7, I think. That still leaves me enough time to stop in with the boys and have a couple beers at the Rainbow Room.. I grab the seat Lemmy is known for sitting in.. he's not here today. haha.

Finally, we head back to get in before doors, and enough time to play stylist to Ace. I love getting to do that.

The thing about LA shows is everyone knows everyone, or at least they pretend they do. It's such a pretentious yet jaded scene.. ahh well.

I get stuck in the dungeon by the bathrooms and a small cash bar. Fortunately for me, the bartender is rather entertaining. He's actually from.. well, right in my neighborhood basically. Weird. Like I said, everyone knows everyone.

After laughing all night at the interesting crowd, the ..interesting.. bands.. and watching them on a tiny tiny tv screen, since I cant see the stage.. being hit on by glam metal dudes old enough to be my dad.. it's finally almost over.

We load up, and the boys take off. I had been invited to some post show beer pong.. yes, at the venue. This is a venue where the owner walks around antiquing his employees to amuse himself.. rad.

I lose horribly at beer pong. It wasn't until halfway through the game I even made one cup.. I finally scored a whopping two beers on them.. sad. Fortunately, my teammate, Jessy, the aforementioned bartender, was decent enough. We still lost.

I didn't leave that venue till some god awful hour, and still had to go back to Taime's to get my car.. I didn't make it home till the blue was already up.. ugh.


Next show; Pussycat at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa March 12..
