A Muse Once Bit My Sister
I thoroughly enjoyed last night's Faith and the Muse show at the DNA Lounge. Of course I can't resist sharing this snippet of audio, which was their introduction to "Annwyn, Beneath the Waves", the final song of the evening:

When William describes me as their "1997 Projekt Fest Babysitter", he's recalling the time when I first met them, during the 1997 Projekt Records Festival in Chicago, where they were one of the headlining acts. We all had more than our share of after-partying the night of their performance, but somehow I was the one who -- even though I'd never been there before -- helped them cab safely to each of the various hops (things stay open in Chicago way later than in SF), then to breakfast, and finally back to the hotel where we were all staying. Perhaps "slightly more sober navigator" would be the more applicable term. In any case, I guess their memory of the event is as fond as mine.

The "roadie" comment refers to the fact that, happily, I had no "official" duty at last night's show, other than playing chauffeur/nurse to leendabunny, who was cashiering, and tech/assistant to melting_girl, who was DJ-ing.
