We just talked for a good hour about why we hated it, what worked, what went wrong, and it was a productive, smart conversation. But I just needed to boil it down to the more crude, stupid sounding review above for social media.

Stereophonic fucking sucked. What a shitty play. Seriously aggravating.

I am at Stereophonic at The Paramount and I listened to the game until the show started and I heard Cal Raleigh’s homer to tie it up but missed the next two runs. This confirms that I am not allowed to watch a game.

And I am working from 11-7 tomorrow so I won’t be able to watch game two.

I’m not sure how to confirm whether Dion Earl is still in prison or not, but he should only be about 6 years into a 12+ year sentence. A real piece of shit

I’ve never been more for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social after hearing this.

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

I don’t really know her, will give a listen, but she seemed thrown off by the size of the crowd and stage and wasn’t at her best.

Sitting here at home thinking about my Chilaquiles Trio breakfast yesterday at Girasol Cocina Mexicana in Monrovia, California.

I actually did wonder if that was maybe the case. It doesn’t entirely surprise me considering how unbelievably packed the place was.

Back in Seattle. I do love it here, but Los Angeles, warts and all, kind of got its hooks in me again this past week. Damn, it was so good.

I was at Chappell Roan last night and the opening act, Hemlocke Springs, stopped in the middle of a song because something distracted her in the crowd and then realized that there was a fight. Didn’t expect fighting at Chappell Roan.

What would be the wildest concert for a fight to break out at?

Just went through a TSA checkpoint and there is a video running on repeat from Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the shutdown and delays at airports. Someone very obviously put a chair in front of the TV playing it to block it from view. I was only able to get bits and pieces of it.

Meanwhile, I may never leave The Rose Bowl parking lot. Haven’t moved an inch in half an hour or more.

Every game I have been able to watch over the last couple weeks has been a loss. I’m too superstitious for this shit.

There towers were maxed out at the Rose Bowl tonight and I had basically no service for the M’s game. Finally got service when I got to the parking lot and saw the final. I don’t think I am allowed to watch anymore games this season.

I will be at Chappell Roan in Pasadena tonight and won’t be able to watch the Mariners, which, given my track record this season, bodes well for the M’s.

I hate a Frappuccino from Starbucks but I really fuck with an Ice Blended from Coffee Bean & Tes Leaf. Pebble ice makes all the difference. And these motherfucker laid me off from a good job one time but I still give them my love.

I sure thought that looked like the fattest pitch you could throw, and sure enough…

Peter Labuza @labuzamovies.com · 4d

wilson: did you throw the pitch to baez, who chases outside the zone more than any other player in the league, just like i said?

bazardo: sure did boss, made it right down the dick like you said

wilson: what?
