Hm, I wonder if Brené Brown gave them permission for that

There are some where I somehow managed to smile and wasn’t landing like a load of bricks when they snapped the photo, but they are few and far between

Yup. I lived near there around 1998-2006 and Uptown was no longer much of a draw by the tine I moved

Beautiful day to be out!

thank god, I’m spared

Wait, is forehead supposed to rhyme with horrid? TIL...

That is such a great record. If you like them you should check out Hot Snakes (some of the same people, similar vibe)

good morning!

That's just awful. Are you planning to send a card or something? Might feel good to reach out

Depends how late and inconvenient it would be for me to make it to see the band I know. If the venue's across town and they're not playing til midnight, no guilt needed. If it's before 10 and easy to get there, personally I'd at least drop by for a while

it is the day of extra awwoooooooooooooooo

Very worthwhile read

I kept hearing this on the radio and changing the station and then realized it was supposed to be the cool new thing. Ah well

Nothing to eat but Gatorade and Gu, lots of complaining, people making diarrhea jokes on the sidelines?
