lani was up for the weekend. we intended to hang out with mimi while she was back visiting new york but managed to miss her at every turn.

<p>on friday night we went down to some club called the &#8216;slipper room&#8217; in soho to see Avenue D (daphne and debbie&#8217;s dirty rap group) perform. everyone there was young and annoyingly trendy. there was excitement in the air because a rumor was floating around that Daft Punk was hanging out in the club that night. but no one knows what they look like so it turned into a game of &#8216;spot the french guys&#8217;. they probably look just like any of the other young trendy people though so i don&#8217;t think anyone was successful.</p>

<p>Avenue D was good though. they had 6 or 7 songs this time; much more than the 1 and a half songs they had last time we saw them. while it doesn&#8217;t seem possible, they&#8217;ve gotten even raunchier. apparently they&#8217;re even starting to build a small following.</p>

<p>on saturday caron came over and we went out for mexican food (living in a latino neighborhood means that i have to deal with a near constant assault of loud salsa and spanish dance music but redeems itself with the high availability of quality burritos) and watched Ghost World.</p>
