For anyone who who is looking for a great show this summer, I have to recommend seeing @mcchris.bsky.social currently touring the US. Great openers… and mc chris putting on a great 2hr set. I was absolutely exhausted the next day at work but no regrets #nerdcore

The moment you realized that maybe this paid quest from two years ago isn’t worth it and then you crunch the numbers that you’ve thrown 300 excellent throws in 4 days… we won’t discuss how many pokeballs have been thrown during that time. #pokemongo

RTP took a pretty good beating tonight with this storm. Several friends without power for a few more hours. Some RDU flights got diverted elsewhere.
My nerves are shot… had to calm with bourbon. Storm has passed now so I can try to sleep for a short while.

Here at The Ritz in Raleigh for the Less Than Jake Summer Circus show with @bitemebambi.bsky.social … @suicidemachines.bsky.social … @fishboneband.bsky.social … a great way to spend a Wednesday evening away from the absolute madness of the world for a few hours.

since it is Memorial Weekend here in the US, it is best to put on Guttermouth’s “Mr. Barbeque” for your safety instructions for your outdoor event. #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylcollection #recordcollection #socalpunk

I never got to do a full reveal of my #recordstoreday weekend haul. Ended up running to a couple of other local record stores on Sunday afternoon to scour to see what they had… and got more of what was on my want list. Last few items had to be bought online but I’m fine with that. #rsd2025

had to take a nap when I got home from #rsd2025… and thaw out. Finally listening to the first of three albums I picked up… Belly’s “King” RSD release.

a Happy Record Store Day to one and all!!! May the vinyl of your wishes be available and bountiful. A chilly and misty early morning found me in downtown Cary, NC at Hunky Dory Records to grab a few select albums that were wish listed but not guaranteed.

mail delivery brought me a virgin copy of this great album… it still had its original wrapping that was disintegrating and falling apart. Center hole wasn’t cleanly punched and had to repair before spinning.

Took an evening away from sitting at home & spinning vinyl to swing the clubs and hopefully hit some balls with some coworkers while we vented. It was much needed therapy for all of us… and looking forward to doing it again when the pollen count isn’t so high. #topgolfdurham
