Matt and Kim: Yeah, we're on a first name basis

Posted over 2 years ago

Well, we aren't really that tight, but I did get to hang around them just a smidge at Bumbershoot.

I was shooting for icecreamman.com and Matt & Kim stuck by the group for a while. I got to see Matt dunk a Roller Derby girl,

pose for pictures with REALLY excited fans,

and enjoy (not so much, really) a tamarind, lime and chili frozen "treat"

But I had to admit to Matt that while I'd heard of them, I hadn't listened to their music. Oh, the shame of it all...

Well, I made the situation right and guess what? I honestly like their music! Making me think of what would happen if techno and punk get together and create a little pop, the tunes are energetic and infectious. Put that together with the nicest two people I've ever seen eat tamarind/lime/chili ice cream and dunk roller girls and I'm a fan for life.

Plus, Kim had the keenest pair of red and black Converse ever.

I lusted after them for a while, searched the internet for a pair for an evening and finally gave up. But did you know that Converse.com will custom make shoes for you? Guess what came in the mail today...

    Which came first - the music or the rockstar shoe fetish? :-p

    shoes do make the rock star, IMO.  I keep trying to have better and better shoes, but still no gig.  ;)

    I look for help every time  I go shopping for more shoes...is that what you mean?
