circle of thieves

since ann and dabney consider monday to be part of the weekend (along with thursday), last night they went to see thievery corporation at the roxy with friend ashbloem. ann and dabney realized it's been quite awhile since they went to see live music. in fact, if it weren't for ashbloem, ann and dabney would rarely leave their dark little tivo-powered hovel of an apartment these days, let alone the south end. (their idea of a great night is a bottle of gin and a rousing game of euchre with friends.) ann and dabney have a theory that ashbloem is slowly yet strategically coaxing them to other parts of the city at night. starting with the other side of the south end, then moving to chinatown... soon they are going to find themselves at the other end of the earth, otherwise known as cambridge.

so ann and dabney were impressed with thievery corporation, with its electronica meets reggae meets world music vibe. and throughout the show, they were hypnotized by the funkadelic computer graphics on the big screen. you can get a sense of it from their album cover.



don't be surprised if superette features new products with a concentric circle theme. it seems like a logical variation on dabney's love of all things polka-dotted.

Where does truth lie (so to speak)?

Superette:
". . . . if it weren't for ashbloem, ann and dabney would rarely leave their dark little tivo-powered hovel of an apartment these days, let alone the south end . . . ."

Ashbloem:
"As I writhed in - ok, not agony exactly, but some amount of discomfort  - Ann and Dabs called and asked if I would like to go to the best fabric store in the Boston area, and I agreed. This fabric store was in Lynn. A most unusual jaunt for me."


And, can I say something, Ashbloem?

"Anyway, are you kidding? I would NEVER go to Cambridge.

Especially after my last experience there."

Eh, hem.
