Beck and the search for Absinthe

CC got us 3 tickets to Beck. I dont know how she keeps doin it but she does. So Van, CC, and I saw Beck last nite at the Olympia. It was really a really cool, straight forward show in a cool old famous venue. He started around 9:30 and played for only about an hour and a half. There was no bells or whistles, no dancing, he just came out in long hair in a grungy baggy outfit with an odd, too small vest on that would flap around when he jumped. I guess he's in his Neil Young stage. The show was mostly his new stuff which was really good, and then he played his more popular stuff during the encore. He didnt seem too enthused about his old famous stuff, and there was definately no cool, funny, white boy dancing which sucked cause Beck is one of the best, funniest dancers in the world. The show was sweet and short. As we were leaving Van spotted the cute guitarist chick out front and he talked to her and we got our pics with her (my camera was dead so i have no pics). After the show we walked to Pigalle and Moulin Rouge and stuff and searched for this absinthe bar that Van had been to years before. We couldn't find it or we found it and it was closed or something. Who knows? The point is there are no stories of tripping on the green fairy in the lights of pigalle with the crossdressers and hustlers. Oh well, it was good, clean fun and this morning i woke up with a tiny wispy headache instead of a big green monster one.
