Saturdays rock

Yesterday, Azee and I headed over to the East River Ampitheater to see some music and bask in the sun. If you haven't gone out there to see a show yet, you should. And you should donate generously, because it's nice to see free music on lazy Saturday afternoons. Headlining the show was The Evens, aka Ian MacKaye from Fugazi and Amy Farina. They were fantastic, so fantastic, in fact, that I went right home and downloaded the album. Well, right home after a kickass dinner at Tenement (Lamb burger with yogurt sauce and zucchini fries, plus half a bottle of Riesling. Azee had the steak quesadillas and the rest of the wine. Good stuff.) and getting caught in a downpour on the way home in a white tank top, sans umbrella. Good thing walking in the rain is one of my favorite things.

At the show, I saw a familiar face and quickly realized it was Adamo Ruggiero from Degrassi, The Next Generation.

"See that guy over there?" I asked, pointing. "That's the cute little gay boy from the new Degrassi."

"I'm not sure who should be more embarrassed," Azee said. "Him for being on that show, or you for recognizing him."

Jury's still out on that one, but I'm leaning toward me.
