Definitely going to see Patti Smith tonight.

A colleague of mine from Leipzig who looks like Paris Hilton -- tall, blond, good makeup, slightly narrower forehead, though, though she has the same fashion sense -- yesterday she wore silver jewelry, black pants, and a pink t-shirt that said 'Princess' in sequins on it -- loves Patti Smith and so we're skipping the reception tonight to go see her. My colleague was telling me how she went to see Nine Inch Nails earlier this year and she's pissed at herself for not going to see them earlier since the concert was so good even though she never sweated so profusely in her life because of the crowd and the venue, but how her absolute favorite is Marilyn Manson and how she was able to get a ticket to his latest CD release party through connections and got to meet him and how she was greatly impressed by how tall he was, and how he was made even taller because of the high heels he wears. She was also saying how this one Goth festival she went to this summer back in Germany was odd since it was all these thirty-five year old Goths sitting around being peaceful with their young children, and how all the stands at the festival sold baby clothes in black and with Goth-y frills and stuff like that. The security guards there, she said, had nothing to do since everyone was so peaceful, so they just sat around and smoked and drank beer with the Goths and every once in a while bitched about the hip-hop festival that they had to man the following weekend and how they were dreading it because of all the fights that usually happen with hip-hop fans.

My colleague is also interested in the Freemasons and has visited several active lodges in Germany.
