One Weekend

I’m not a Valentine’s Day kind of girl. I’ve never been one. I’ve only really spent one V-Day with a boyfriend and it was much too stressful, mainly because he could be a real jerk. This year my friend P and I celebrated by going to the Doughnut Plant which for some reason I want to call the Doughnut Planet but I’m not really sure why.

The Doughnut Plant is oh-my-God good, a there’s a crowd of people waiting an hour in the cold and wind outside to get donuts kind of good. P and I stood in that crowd, braving the arctic wind and it was delicious. And waiting in a line for an hour means you can’t just get one donut. You need more. So we each got two. I got Tres Leches and Rose Petal.

P had the Tres Leches and a Creme Brulee. The only thing is that the Creme Brulee is rather teensy. But still yummy.

Aside from celebrating Valentine’s Day by eating deliciousness, P and I went to Webster Hall yesterday. A friend mentioned that Ke$ha was performing and if you brought something of your ex’s, you could get in for free. Of course we had to get there before 11 but that’s no big deal if we get to save $30 and see Ke$ha.

Before Ke$ha came on, we watched two bands: The Frontier Brothers and Black Taxi. Both were good but I absolutely loved Black Taxi. Not only are they all absolutely adorable in their own way, they’re damned good. They switched instruments, threw water, clung to pipes, and sang their hearts out.

Oh and the frontman, Ezra? Really hot. He came out in a pair of black and white striped pants and a bomb painted on his chest. He shook and shimmied and played the trumpet. At one point he had two megaphones in his hands. The whole band was phenomenal and I so desperately want to go see them again.

Ke$ha herself was alright. P and I intelligently avoided the packed downstairs and managed to get directly behind the lighting guys, meaning we were dead center on the second floor. I only knew one of her songs (Tik Tok) so maybe I would have liked her better if I knew more? But then again, maybe not because I had no idea about any of Black Taxi’s songs and I loved them. She put on a really short show, only four or five songs. If I had paid $30 like some people, I would’ve been pissed but for free? Eh. Whatever.

I don’t really understand why Ke$ha has a dollar sign in her name. Supposedly it’s because she isn’t in it for the money, which is bullshit. If she wasn’t in it for the money, she’d be performing in little bars in the middle of nowhere, having a good time and not giving a shit. Everyone is in it for the money.

Overall, I’ve only been awake for about 6 hours on Valentine’s Day. That, to me, makes it a damned good one.

Hope ya’ll all had a good one.
