An absolutely huge crowd for a great show by Evanescence tonight. Nova Twins were a nice surprise too, I'm a big fan now!
There are days that have you looking up the rules on retiring early...this has been a week of those days...
Absolutely go see the new Spider-Man movie, avoid spoilers and go right now. I need to see it again to be sure, but it might actually be my favorite in the franchise now.
The tour of the music of my 80s and 90s continued on the 15th day of live music for the year... Toad the Wet Sprocket, Men at Work, and Shonen Knife! An absolutely fantastic show!
What a great day for Detroit Festival of Books. I'll just go ahead and not check what I spent AT ALL. Also, if you want to talk to infinity people, wear a Book Slut t-shirt and sparkly purple nails! It was a very social day for me! Nap time.
Let's check out the book festival, I'm sure there won't be many people there...
This week was bookended by two fantastic shows. Muse on Monday and Candlebox tonight. Both still sounding incredible after decades!!
Ronan Sparrow was bringing back building materials for his little home on our doorway when we came home. He's over here asserting squatter's rights... UNACCEPTABLE. Look at his smug, dumb face up there waiting for us to go inside.
It's "Dress Slightly Like a Grown-up" week while I head into the home office. If you think the shirt is bad...I'm wearing PANTS!
Last night's show at The Magic Bag was outstanding! Horsegirl was amazing, I really dug Nine Perfect Lives' vibe, and was surprised by local band Sleep Tight Tiger who I'll definitely be catching again...in all, a great night with great humans!
"If you step right over here they can stamp your hand..." "Oh, do you need to see ID?" "Nah, YOU'RE definitely good" Ouch! 🤣🤣 Almost time to catch Nine Perfect Lives and Horsegirl
Day 10 of live music for the year was Jimmy Eat World...I forgot how great the Bleed American album is!
Sometimes all of my role playing groups that happen on different cadences align on the same week...this is one such week! Monday was the Cosmere system. Today is Sentinel Comics. Friday is D&D 5e. Saturday is, I assume, a long nap.
Under 30 minutes before I start streaming to raise money for Extra-Life! I'm matching all donations during my stream 1:1 up to $1k Also -$20 for each unique viewer I got on Twitch -$20 x the highest concurrent Twitch viewers-$20 for each new subscriber/gifted subscription jer.wtf/eldonate
This weekend marks roughly the half way point between last Extra-Life and the next one. To celebrate, we'll be doing a bit of streaming this weekend to fundraise. Come say hi and maybe donate between 10am and 10pm ET on Saturday! jer.wtf/eldonate
I'm trying to go to less shows that require travel this year (largely unsuccessfully), but when Soul Asylum is doing an acoustic tour and NOT coming to Detroit, you make an exception. Doubly so when Corey Glover is opening! A fantastic night in beautiful Kent, OH.
See, I do things that aren't concerts! Tonight's musical full of pop songs is "& Juliet" 🤣
An absolutely amazing show by both The Verve Pipe and Our Lady Peace with great friends ❤️❤️ No notes!
The end of another outstanding PWHL game and another great attendance showing by Detroit...back to gaming at Nerdfest #nerdfest #pwhltakeovertour
Taking a quick break from gaming to watch some hockey downtown! #pwhltakeovertour #pwhl
