so yesterday’s where-the-the-hell-is-spencer-with-my-haujobb/vac-ticket saga turned out to have a happy ending - spenz0r showed up around four or five and presented me with my ticket. woo.

after work, spencer and i went to penn to meet up with derek and jim and a friend of derek’s who i don’t know. we actually ran into jim on thirty fourth as we were walking from herald square to penn, and then spotted derek [whose hella cool hair is noticeable from a mile away]. we all headed over to limelight, which i’m just going to mention again [i think i first enthused over it after the vnv show] is a really, really cool venue. here’s a couple of links, though i can’t find any photos to do it justice:

• planetnightlife.com’s review
• citysearch’s review
• an outdated page with a little blurb about limelight [note about this one: they mention the bank, a beloved goth/industrial club that closed about a year and a half ago. oh the memories!]

in any case, it’s a very impressive space. the building is a huge converted church, full of little winding stairways and balconies and whatnot. zenwarp is a decent weekly event held there, though it’s upstairs in the [equally cool] giger room as opposed to the main room, which is taken over by a normal party. i’ll take my digi with me the next time i go, maybe.

haujobb were excellent, by the way. they played some of the stuff i’m more familiar with, but also some new material which i really liked. the velvet acid christ guy, on the other hand, is a big dork and i was completely unimpressed with the vac performance.

jim and i took the train home, so we didn’t get back till after three. needless to say, i didn’t get a whole hell of a lot of sleep last night. i’m reeeeeeally looking forward to going to bed tonight, and i hope i manage to do so at something resembling a reasonable hour. although, given the amount of work i have to get done here today, it’s not looking terribly likely. blah.
