Hey, Happy B'day (a day late)! I'm seeing the White Stripes on Monday so I hope they do a little better than what you reported. The no encore thing is something I have mixed feelings on. I like an encore or two if it's really well-deserved and the crowd is demanding it, but if it's just a routine part of the show where they walk off and then walk back on like a ritual it's sorta dumb and too "show bizzy" for me. When I saw The Strokes about two years ago (before the huge backlash hit) they basically just announced something like "We're gonna do two more songs and that's it, no encores. We pretty much don't know any more songs." Words to that effect. I thought that was cool and it left the crowd in a frenzy when they were done. I'll let you know how I like the White Stripes after the show next week. I'm seeing Liz Phair tonight. See ya later.

last night i packed and conditioned my hair. i feel like im forgetting something. what am i forgetting?
