I saw St. Vincent open for Andrew Bird in Cincinnati not long after Actor came out. After the show, she hung out by the merch table greeting the crowd and taking photos. For some stupid reason that I can’t remember, my dumb ass decided not to approach her. It is one of my life’s greatest regrets.

I read the piece and then spent a minute trying to figure out why they ran a photo of Tig Notaro

And they got David Price in the middle of that season too! Four Cy Young winners!

That’s now six straight losses in games in which Cleveland had a chance to clinch a postseason series dating back to Game 5 of last year’s World Series when they were up 3-1

Wait, there’s another Blue Jackets fan in Cincinnati? I’m not the only one!!!
