Vintage clothier Opal Thornburgh and I were walking down H8 street after doing a little shopping when we saw these two girls taking photos on the street. Dumbly, we looked at them, and I guess something about us caught there eyes and they accosted us.

“Can we take your photo? It’s for our fashion blog!!!!”

and we were like, OK. So, of course we were feeling a little creeped out, but we didn’t want to be mean, or a bitch or anything so we just let them. After taking a few pix, we think ok, this is over, we can go, when out of nowhere they blind side us with a notebook:

“Can we ask a few questions???”

At which point, we sort of stammered an excuse, but they just ignored us:

“whats your favorite movie and favorite band?”

“uhhhh…..oldies….uhm….east asian horror movies…ahhhh…..uhhhh….”

“where did you buy your glasses?”

“sunglass hut?”

“Ok great! do you want to give us your e-mail address and we’ll send you a link when it gets blogged?”

“OK?”

And then they left us alone. But it was too late.

This is how we felt when we got home:

I remember Brian Glaze being forced to stand outside of the Purple Onion because he wasn’t 21 and was only allowed in to play drums for the Brian Jonestown Massacre by music empresario Tom Guido moments before the band took the stage. Now he’s old and can get into any club he wants! Brian Glaze and the Nightshift headline an awesome line up in the East Bay! Don’t miss the first band, a veritable Bay Area Super Group, the Trade (feat members of Sugar & Gold, Boyjazz, Cars Get Crushed), I hope they like their Trade rough!

Details:
Brian Glaze and the Nightshift (feat members of the Cuts and Gris Gris)

Bart Davenport (solo acoustic)

The Trade (feat members of Sugar & Gold, Boyjazz, and, ahem… Cars Get Crushed)

It all starts around 10.

Ghost Town Gallery: 2519 San Pablo Ave, Oakland. Leave no valuables in yr car, friends.

Hope you can make it out!
