Friday night brings a night of music with The Dimes, The Heavenly States, and The Minus 5. The Dimes are one of my favorite Portland bands and well worth checking out. They played an amazing set at Mississippi Studios last week featuring almost new music; I’m hoping they rock some of the new tracks tonight. The Heavenly States are heading north from the Bay Area. Gears, Tim, and I will interview them tonight for a future podcast (VERY excited about that). And The Minus 5 feature Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck from R.E.M. The evening begins at 9PM at the Doug Fir Lounge and will only run you the price of a couple beers ($10). The boys of Northwest Noise will be there early to get our Fir Burger on!
Saturday brings even more rock as Mike Doughty (formerly of Soul Coughing) will be performing a FREE in-store performance at Music Millennium on Burnside at 3PM. Mike Doughty has been one of my favorite artists for awhile and has had his music featured on Grey’s Anatomy and Veronica Mars. Friend of Northwest Noise, singer/songwriter Debra Arlyn will also have a FREE in-store performance at the Tigard Border’s at 7PM. Debra is promoting her new album Tomorrow Another Day, a cd that I highly recommend. Finally, the Mike Doughty Band will be at the Wonder Ballroom at 9PM. The Panderers open the show. Tickets are $18.
Please support independent musicians (and a very cool signed artist) by checking out one of the shows. Hope to see some of you out this weekend.

Jedi Master
I would do the world a great disservice to not share the info that I have received from my own personal hero:
The underlying principle beneath all of this is to make sure that you are in control of your emotions, and the situation. If at any point you do not control one of these, it is often a safe idea to make yourself scarce. Women are genetically wired to be attracted to men that are in control, doesnt mean you have to BE in control, you just have to APPEAR you are in control. (i.e. dont be shaking, talk confidently, take up space when you sit down, look overwealmingly and uncharictaristically comfortable.)Given that you called you last night: If I was you, I would call back tonight and be cordial, be friendly, act however you normally act, and then end the conversation abruptly, perhaps making reference to some set of plans your looking forward to this weekend. Whatever you say, just do it genuinely with a strong frame (like you would say "the sun is shining") and you'll be fine. Take the weekend to re-evaluate some things and see if you can grasp some of the principles in the book, then call on Tuesday. As a side note, its always a plus to make her the aggressor (make her call, make her initiate hugs, make her do the work to get your attention) and the book go's over ways to do this, as does the double your dating ebook. Just breathe deep, dont be in a rush, and apply sound principles one by one and all things fall into place. The objective is not to let the drunk monkey in your brain control your actions (we all have one, you just have to learn how to tell him to shut up.).
