THE SHOW ON WEDNESDAY WAS AMAZING. I wish I could have gotten a photograph of the dudes crowd-surfing right beneath the I'm Leaving This Shithole Love Dicks. Really. The bands were awesome and everyone had a good time. If anyone could email me with the name and contact of the dude with the banjo, that would be cool. Or tell him I want a tape. Anyways.

Here's some other news. Joel yelled at me for not updating the website. Oscar from Nakatomi passed on his turntable and I thus passed it on to the House and several hours were spent this afternoon listening to soft jazz and turning old issues of BYOFL into spoken-word poetry. John and I are driving to Richmond, Virginia, this Thursday and if anyone wants to cook for us, John will compose sonnets in return. Joel's birthday is coming up and GUESS WHO'S PLAYING??? The Indigo Girls!!!

This space is reserved for telling everyone how much I love John and Joel! Now back to you, Ted..

Hey this is pretty cool, I just found this, you can download some Crestfallen and Mannequin mp3s at the Robotic Empire site on HXCMP3.com. That rules.

And more! This is pretty incomplete for now..
