Should Have
I rarely regret not having my camera with me. But I missed photographing something beautiful and I am still shaking my head in disbelief:Frustrated by the lack of progress on my Theory of Computation course work (then due in single digit hours) and seduced by a fit of midnight Thursday sanity, I stopped deluding my nerd self, turned the homework in and headed to David Day's Make It New night at the Middlesex Lounge. I knew Masha Qrella was performing and I knew Masha is part of Contriva -- an excellent band.
I arrived just in time to witness David finishing his set (and playing some techno version of Sweet Child O' Mine which I have been blocking until this very moment). The crowd was a bit different from last time I was there -- more than just a bit on the posh side. Then Masha proceeded to play some of the most amazing electronic pop music I have been witnessed to in a long time (I don't know why do I want to say Obsidian-era Banco de Gaia -- the production it's unbelievable) . It caught me off guard. An acoustic guitar, some pedals and a Powerbook: it absolutely killed and I didn't have a camera with me. Ok Louis Pasteur, give it to me:
Dans les champs de l'observation le hasard ne favorise que les esprits préparés.
