I used to play goalie for street hockey at the youth center as a kid. Dude tells me at the start of the game “I’m gonna score between my legs on you today.” Haha, sure whatever buddy.

What if we capped openers at 2 total? Give them 30 minutes each, 15 minute changeover, and the headliner’s on stage 90 minutes after the music starts. Most shows that means headliner’s on before 11, done around midnight.

I know I’ve upset many people in America’s Finest City

If you are, sadly, devoid of a black friend, this has already been tackled for you. JD asked Turk and he said “no.”

Gandalf Hernandez vs. Lukas Chalupa is way too tough a decision for the first round...

The insidious thing about this bill is that, on its face, I should agree with it. Data is good! Knowledge is good! Research is good!

Ah yes, a 71-year-old man who hates children knows that the way to reach “the kids” is to put scary pictures on a dying medium they no longer use. It’s fool-proof.

Love Larry! Great dude and great musician. I’ve opened for him two or three times (with prior bands, not the current). And indeed we are on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0fYtAPt0LSM1B6us3ESFhr

Irish rock stuff (a la Flogging Molly). It’s a style we both enjoy, at least. If I was a death metal guitarist I’m betting she’d just stay home haha

Wrong character/actress, but I will star any Arrested Development reference pretty much... (“Her?” is one of the evil exes, not the bandmate)

Guy in a band here, and I think it’s more on the dude to make sure it’s clear that she doesn’t have to come to every show to qualify as a supportive SO. My wife comes to about 1 out of 4 shows and that’s plenty. She’s heard us play it all before, I’m too busy to hang out with her much, it’s loud and takes forever, it…

There’s nobody I’d rather go to war with than IT.

I went on a search for some Lovecraft quotes because I thought that would be funny, but instead stumbled upon a 6,000-word treatise he wrote on why cats and cat people are superior to dogs and dog people. It is... it is really something.

I was in Dallas Wednesday night for a conference and the place I stopped for dinner was showing the Dallas team’s match. There was a considerable group there specifically to watch it, and they cheered and moaned at the action as if watching a standard sports game. It was very strange and very cool.

“$5,000 will not even buy a decent chair.”

I saw Okafor at Shake Shack in NYC right around when the injury happened. His girlfriend (wife?) called him “Meck” which is both a great nickname and how I figured out who that extremely tall man was. There is no purpose to sharing this story as it’s neither interesting nor impressive, yet here you are reading it all…

what the heck is the point of non-alcoholic beer? 

Fuck you, Jobu
