Last night's Faith & the Muse show was magical. They played three of my very favorite songs ("Patience Worth", "The Burning Season", and "Sredni Vashtar"), and a song that is very quickly becoming one of my favorites ("Sovereign" from the new :ankoku butoh: album). The dancers from Serpentine were mesmerizing, as always, and were a great addition to Faith & the Muse's stage show.

carpe_jugulum, who took me to the Green Room so I could meet William Faith and Monica Richards. Both of whom remembered me from previous meetings, eee! William thanked me for my review of :ankoku butoh:, and Monica told me (after I had mentioned that I'd been a fan of theirs since the first interview with them in Carpe Noctem magazine) that the couple behind Carpe Noctem were going to be at the show that night!
At the end of the show, I did find the two of them, and we did some brief catching up and exclaiming over the small-worldness of it all.
"Excuse me, aren't you Kat and Thom who ran Carpe Noctem?"
"Yes?"
"Hi, I'm Jillian, and I used to write for you folks."
"OH MY GOD, JILLIAN! How are you? You have a book! We saw it on Amazon!"
... and so on. We now have plans to catch up via email, and I think I'm going to spend part of my evening tomorrow re-reading my old copies of Carpe Noctem and sighing nostalgically.

For those of you who approved of last night's outfit; the blouse and skirt are from Retroscope Fashions, and the jacket was custom-made for me. I love love LOVE that jacket, and may end up asking the designer if she'd be willing to make another one in a different, cotton-twill fabric (for summer use!).

And now, back to editing work.
