Tuesday night miss_begonia, lokte and I went to see Uh Huh Her at the Great American Music Hall. It was just as awesome as I'd been hoping, with added bonus adorable. All the gigs I've been to in the last six years or so have been choreographed theatrical events (P!nk, Rufus Wainwright and Adam Lambert), so it was kind of awesome to just see a bunch of musicians up on stage doing what they love.

The venue is kind of amazing:

We got there a bit before the opening act (and I wish I could remember their name because I liked their music), and went upstairs to sit down while we waited for UHH to start. miss_begonia and I convinced lokte to try root beer. She thought it tasted of Germolene, but was excited to be drinking it out of a red cup with a straw a la Tommy Joe Ratliff :D

Unsurprisingly, the place was packed with dykes, so I spent a lot of the time while we waited ogling people watching. So many hot women in SF. Why am I not dating any of them? :(

ANYWAY. We found spots in the middle of the floor for UHH, and waited for them to come on. SO MUCH LOVE.

I've been really loving their music for the last year or so, and I loved Leisha on the L Word, and I loved Cam on Adam's tour, and I was just really excited for the gig. In that way where I was a little bit scared of being disappointed. But both of them were so so cute and Leisha is so bouncy and giggly, and Cam is so UNF and toppy, and they sounded awesome.

They played a mix of the stuff I know and new stuff, and they both mix it up, playing keyboard, bass or guitar, depending on the song. Hot women are hot. Hot women who can play multiple instruments and also sing are EVEN HOTTER. There was one point where Leisha's keyboard was making weird noises and Cam came over and crowded up against her and fixed it, while Leisha grinned and teased about this is why she has Cam in the band, and Cam was doing the thing Adam does of fiddling with her ear pieces and directing the sound engineer and it's hot when she does it, too, and she was getting all toppy with their drummer, and being all coy, and OH GOD MY CRUSH. LET ME SHOW IT TO YOU. (obvious comment is obvious)

At the end of the gig a group of girls near us shouted for Cam to take off her jacket (which was actually a cardigan with shiny ~tiles on the shoulders) and she giggled and dropped it off her shoulders a couple of inches and then pulled it back up again. It was so adorable. No one needed to ask Leisha to undress because she was already only wearing a tank top. also SO HOT.

I seem to be distracted by the hotness. THEIR MUSIC WAS ALSO REALLY GOOD, OKAY? And what I'm saying was that it was a great night (even if omg you should never try to get vegan food at Max's Opera Cafe, because they are INSANE AND STUPID there) and I loved hanging with miss b and lokte, and even though my feet were DYING in my shoes by the end, it was awesome.
