Yeah! That's a block from my work; I stopped in a few weeks ago and it's really really cool.

I used to listen to that guy all the time on WPRB and WVLT

I saw him standing outside yesterday; he looks nice. I will tell him my internet friends used to listen to him on the radio one time

yeah, he's a chill dude, I said hi to him at one of his hot-rod shows in delaware once

Ps I will be there at like 8:45 and am wearing a black shirt w two swords on it and maybe a purple and orange flannel

I'm already there- thought it started at 7:30 as opposed to doors at 7:30. I reed numbirs graet

Grey pants, black cardigan, Master & Margarita t-shirt. Phone will probably be dead in a few minutes.

That was a blast btw; y'all missed out

Obligatory check-in in case anybody's at UNion Transfer for Swans...

MY EARS

My friend was at that show; apparently there was glitter and gongs and a clarinet?

I didn't notice any glitter (just the usual scraps of confetti from previous shows falling from the fans, rafters, speaker stacks, etc), and for most of the show I was too far to the left to see one of the two drummers (Thor Harris, I think?) who seemed to be on random instrument duty, but presumably he would have been the guy with the clarinet. What I did see of him was awesome, though- ridiculously buff shirtless 40-something dude with waist-length hair swaying back and forth and sawing on what I presume is the Handmade Violin Thing from the LP credits list.

Gira was on top form, too; I got tired just standing for three hours, but he was jumping across the stage, screaming, spitting, everything.

I wish I'd taken some video of the three fratbros who were standing in front of me, though, because they were fucking hilarious. All three were drinking constantly, and each one had their own little routine:

Bro the First: SUPER FUCKING INTENSE AIR DRUMMING. Like, head bowed down to waist level, headbanging, dramatic drum rolls all through the show.
Franz Broseph II: Conservative haircut, Fonz jacket, hands in pockets, lots of weirdly aggressive chin-jutting.
Third Bro For Whom I Cannot Think Of A Pat Nickname: Actual booty-shaking. Stomping. Air guitar to totally different songs. Mimed banging his head against a support pillar. <i>Literal honest to god jazz hands</i>.

Toward the end of the night they formed their own little mosh pit of three and I was seriously worried I would end up having to call 911.

Johnny Brenda's, Holy Other, etc

No way bro, you just gotta find where the cool stuff is.

Tell it, sister.

maybe if our fucking football team could win a superbowl pplz could chill a bit

fuck sports

except for roller derby

Trust at North Star Bar tomorrow, because why the fuck not

Might do a weekend in Philly soon, if only for the reputable beer scene.

We have excellent beer

and i can't have any of it here in Québec because I don't know

On the off chance anybody's at North Star, I'm the sad fat fuck in the swans t-shirt

AC Newman at First Unitarian Church tnite... I really want to go (tics are only $15) but I have no one to go with... any ilxors want to go with me?

I got my brother + sister-in-law to go with me but I'd still love to hang w/ philadellxors if anyone is interested.

Not really my thing but enjoy!

If @ACNewman is coming to your town, DO NOT MISS IT. Amazing band, perfect set, just the greatest.

Telephone I thought you were going to go to Bear in Heaven (not that I went but...)

It was a toss-up- Trust won because I was curious about the North Star and live fairly close by.

I'd go out to the Newman show but I have class :(

DAAAAAMN

oh wait i get what you're saying

ARE THERE ANY JOBS HERE I MEAN JESUS CHRIST ON A BROKEN LEG

I am so bummed I am missing AC Newman btw and also St Etienne in DC

i will do any job. i will clean the toilets at dirty franks with my own toothbrush at this point.

if I was of the landed gentry I would ask if you could be made a board director of some random corp, idk
