Playing with a store laptop to kill time...

Guh?

It was kind of awkward waiting around a Wired store for him to play (although there was an open bar), but the show itself was great.  A lot of his songs work really well acoustically.  He didn't announce them, but from what I gather he played two songs from the upcoming album.  He also played "Bummer Bitch" and seemed really disgusted with the crowd, which I find hilarious and appealing.

"Do you really think touch screens will make your life better?  Remember: there are fæces on everything."

Some guy was taking high quality video, so hopefully the performance will make it's way online.

Hey, I was there too!
If I knew what you looked like I would have said what's up.

I went into it skeptically, but I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would.
The venue was weird but the open bar was fun.
I was picking up on the contempt for the crowd vibe as well. To his credit though, there were a lot of douchey looking people there. His lyrics sounded funnier over the acoustic guitar and the "Bummer Bitch" finale was great.

He was really nice when I saw him in Chicago last July. He shook hands after his set! He shook my hand! I thought it was sweet. Also, no one got punched in the face, not even the drunk girl who kept bumping into me and asked Jay Reatard for a picture. (He didn't oblige her, by the way.)

I'm guessing he didn't shake every fan's hands at the Wired store??

Hey, open bar.
When they say "Open Bar," they mean a garbage can full of ice and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

He just posted a demo of one of those new songs on his blog (http://jayreatard.blogspot.com/) if anyone is interested.

Does it sound a lot like "Bad Man" at times to anyone else, or am I crazy?
