I'm faced with a dilemma.
I just found out today that VNV Nation and And One are playing a show on Wednesday night at the Metro (yeah, the classic Chicago club-venue). This means that I have to scramble to get everything done for theory on Thursday morning by Wednesday @ 7pm or so. Or do I? Should I actually risk being unprepared and tired for class?
This was my youth. This was my scene. This was my passion and my radio playlist for 8 years. Have I lost the will? Have I lost the energy?
There was a time when I would drop everything to see a show like this. I would drive to Detroit, even. Now, I'm thinking that I can't slack for an evening.
What happened?
Do I go with my instinct and dance my cape off? (ha, like I ever wore a cape...how unflattering)
I feel locked in the iron cage of the system--the academic system.
I can't even make the excuse that I would go to "study the subculture," seeing as though I've picked a sub-field that doesn't include clubbing as fieldwork.
Aw hell, I should go, shouldn't I? revive my energy and spunk?
But then again, I've seen VNV like 4 times and And One twice already...
Suz...remember And One and Funker Vogt!??!?
I think I'm going to see Front Line Assembly next month too.
But AHHH!!!!
Do I go? Help me out, guys. I'm gonna collapse now.
Love,
Mon.
BTW: DJ Scary Lady Sarah is spinning between sets...it's been so long since I've been to Nocturna!
