Almost there.

Last night the bus smelled like pumpkin pie. I had been at work earlier, trying to persevere but having a hard time. I'm counting the hours until school is over and I can live at the chocolate shop and go home to nothing but food and books.

The Of Montreal show on Wednesday was nothing short of amazing:
Enter four golden Buddhas carrying the Ark of the Covenant, followed by five androgynous, heavily costumed men. Buddhas start to dance around and music begins...

That was just the beginning. They had tons of props, mostly homemade, backup dancers, a rotating stage, and a screen in the background showing psychedelic subliminal images. At one point they hung the lead singer and later brought him back out in a coffin, covered him in red paint and whipped cream, and proceeded to spray him and the entire audience with feathers from a leaf blower. Needless to say, much fun was had.


Their shows are always different, always ridiculous.
