I frequently skip Drums when listening to a show, but the first time I saw Dead and Co, when Drums hit I was like “damn ok, this is kinda like going to an industrial show”

Nobody has ever been as happy as these two when we let them swim in cold-ass Lake Superior up the north shore today

Oh yes. This was extremely small town Wisconsin, with 3 Gen Z employees that just did not give a shit.

We also were the only 2 people in the theater.

Tried going to the movies for the first time in over a decade to see One Battle. Had to walk out as it was starting because the image was dark and blurry, but the much much worse thing was a continual, EXTREMELY loud clanging from the HVAC.

Not sure if I’ll try again in the next decade lol.

Just met a 10 week old Basset/poodle mix at a brewery named Ueckey, after Bob Uecker, that is the sweetest pup I’ve ever met.

I've never actually listened to that album, the one time I tried to check it out I didn't get past the first song, it just sounded like the worst aspects of slick 80s country
