HIDE kicking off their set tonight at the 7th St Entry with some excellent maniacal laughter. 🤘They are definitely a band that needs to be experienced in this exact type of setting.

When your friend texts you at 5:30pm inviting you to use their extra ticket for Patti Smith 7pm showtime, you get your shoes on and get moving! Singing “People Have the Power“ in an auditorium full of Minnesotans + Patti was an experience I don’t think I can put into words.

Went fangirling again. This time was two nights of Dessa, conductor Sarah Hicks, and the Minnesota Orchestra. Both nights were incredible but the Friday audience was a little rowdier.

Tour life. Fangirling is hard.

Text message. “They have restrooms in this grocery store if anyone needs it”

Fangirling @garbage.com at @first-avenue.com. My 1st Garbage show was here in 2005. Back 20 years and 90ish shows later with so many friends I’ve met along the way. It’s a good night.

Yeah that tracks.

Past 1 year of stress data from a fitness watch. The line chart is pretty flat just above 26 until July 2025, where the line goes up at about a 45 degree angle into September.

I have left my room on a Saturday afternoon for the first time in a long series of Dragoncons (to the WESTIN no less!) and I am ready to get this book signed by @charliejane.bsky.social. Usually I hide in my room and watch DCTV. But for Charlie Jane, I will brave the crowds.

Hardcover book. Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders. Cover is purple with orange-yellow all caps text.

Took a break from moving to see Heavy Metal Brass Band tonight. They kicked things off with a little Black Sabbath and many tritones!🤘It was a very fun set and I’m generally not super keen on brass. Their debut full length dropped today. linktr.ee/heavymetalbr...

Saw @garbage.com for the 89th time today with a few of my favorite gig buddies at a festival and I am wiped. Arrived before gates, sprinted like I was up for Olympic gold anchoring the 4x400m relay to get rail, hung out all day in the sun. But I’d do it again. This is the only photo I shot.

Played a lot of music during jams at VGM Con this weekend. Here’s me with Jo Cleary aka JoPlaysViolin. We played with @sheaviolin.bsky.social too which was wonderful but I think this was before Shea joined us.

The nectar of Dead Billionaire tea with lemonade is going to get me through the rest of Saturday night at VGM Con. Looking forward to OrchKeystra’s set shortly. I hear he has some amazing guest collaborators helping out.

Got a cute little piece of new gear for Christmas. The CD is for scale. I plan to use this lil amp for travel with my electric cello and violin. First outing will probably be VGM Con in the spring. Should fit nicely in my cello case. Hope it sounds ok enough but sound isn’t the primary concern.
