"becky will be rocking in their own neighborhood in Silverlake at Club Spaceland Tuesday March 9th!becky hits the stage at 11:15pm!
becky hopes everyone is sure to make what will be one killer sell out event!
(Club Spaceland is located at 1717 Silver Lake Blvd. Los Angeles)"
Man, I'd really like to go to this one. I know that according to this interview that the band's debut at Spaceland is kinda special to Rebecca.
Augh! a tuesday. How am I going to get out of work?
becky | from inside the mind of krix at March 02, 2004 10:21 AM .Do I see a relapse in your future? ;)
"koff koff,... Mr. Mooney sir... I feel really sick this morning and I have a fever of 104 and there's really gross stuff coming out of me and I think I may need to go to the hospital for a transfusion or something. Yes, I'll be there Thursday."
You can't watch The Lucy Show without learning something.
Posted by: Chianti on March 2, 2004 11:24 AMYou tell them that you're sick! You have 10 million germs ready to jump into the lemon chicken or, you know, in something else or whatever. It won't even be a lie even. Um, unless you get better before then.
Posted by: Zen on March 2, 2004 11:25 AMProblem is that I'd be calling in to myself, and I know I'm lying. And I frown on that sort of thing from the staff.
Posted by: krix on March 2, 2004 11:42 AMYeah, it sucks being the boss, eh? I have the same problem :-(
*Damn* our sense of responsibility, LOL!
BUT! I have a *brilliant* idea for you! :-D
Since you need to 'communicate' for your job, how about you write it off as some sort of 'management-communication training'? You know, a short course on how to interact with all sorts of people. You might even be able to deduct it from taxes! :-D
Then just be honest. Tell them why you're taking off Tuesday and Wednesday. They may even encourage you to go, because they just know you're going to be a big whiney butt the whole of next week because you felt guilty and didn’t go. It can be a bitch being the boss. I have to sexually harass myself all the time.
Or, chances are becky is going to play a lot since as far as we know Keanu is unencumbered by work right now, so you can wait for a weekend. Ya big weenie. ;) j/k
Tell them its therapy, or you need a couple of personal days. For stress relief. Now that last part wouldn't be a lie would it? I think that would be a good excuse to give yourself? Good Luck convincing yourself, and if you get to go have a wonderful time.LOL Rhyxxx
Posted by: rhyanhan on March 2, 2004 02:28 PMLOL @ Chianti sexually harrassing herself! Bwahahahahaha!
Posted by: Julie! on March 2, 2004 02:47 PMGive me the freakin' number and i'll call in for ya.. !! :)..
hugs and God bless your friend
Taking personal days would be my first choice. Aren't you just a couple of hours away in Las Vegas? Who knows how many more gigs they'll be playing so close by with Keanu on bass? Aren't you taking bass lessons? Wouldn't attending this performance be beneficial to learning bass fingering techniques? How else can we live vicariously?
If there's 2 things I've learned in this life: 1) every day is a good day; and 2) it's always now.
To turn an old phrase... if you come, they'll play ;) Go To Club Spaceland and then rush home and tell us all about it!!
Posted by: wallflower on March 2, 2004 04:09 PMBelieve me, noboby wants me to go more than me. I can't say for sure until this weekend and a lot depends on how I feel. Right now I'm still sick.
Posted by: krix on March 2, 2004 04:32 PMYou must go and tell me all about it....I can't go, I would have to take monday tuesday wednesday and thursday off to drive halfway across the country! Don't miss it!!!!!!
Posted by: Mrs. Cool Breeze on March 2, 2004 05:21 PMWe want you WELL first. THEN you can go :)
Posted by: wallflower on March 2, 2004 05:26 PMI feel as if we're pressuring you, and your little head doesn't need that right now... Feel better. There will be other shows.
As Rebecca said in that article, they want to play in their own neighborhood... which indicates that there will be more shows at Spaceland that Krixy may attend in lieu of us geographically-challenged types.
Posted by: Chianti on March 2, 2004 05:53 PMyou are soooooooooooo going and I am soooooooo not..............arrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh and such ; (
Posted by: tess on March 2, 2004 08:54 PMWho can resist ... it's Spaceland! Sounds like FUN, doesn't it?
Posted by: sta-cie on March 2, 2004 09:31 PMI agree with Chianti's 2nd comment. You need to get better first. You have to believe that there will be more shows for you to attend and that hopefully they will be at time where you can get off work and have a "clear conscience" about what you tell your staff. I feel for you. This is a tough decision, but have faith! :)
*quits preaching now and sits down*
Haha, I see my facetiousness didn't translate well. I don't actually have a staff. It's just me, which is why it's hard for me to take time off mid-week.
Thanks for easing up on the pressure though...Like I said, of course I want to go, but it may not be the best choice to do so next week.
