It was the cutest thing in the known universe.
Hard work paying off, right there.

Goes to show they don't really give a rats arse what you read to them so long as you just interact with them.

Had an amazing birthday show on Friday. We completely blew the crowd and the main act away. Sweet ass gig! And I got to really appreciate being a support act. It was lots of fun to concentrate on mere 30 minutes and to make the utmost out of that time.

Also I have bought tickets to and booked a place to sleep for the Le Guess Who festival.

I love playing support gigs, its like a test to see how much greatness you can pack into 30 mins and how much of the audience you can win over. I usually up the tempo on everything quite a bit.
Also way jealous, i should have booked a november flight to the netherlands instead of japan.

My daughter grabbed our copy of "The Dictionary of Science" off the shelf to read for her bedtime story tonight. Her and her brother danced all the way into the bedroom singing "SCIENCE! SCIENCE!"
I read to them about atoms and thermodynamics.
Parenting win.

The world needs more parents like you

We didn't play faster or anything, but I found out how important it is to move around on stage and make a little bit of a show. It's a front, of course, but it was a hell of a lot of fun to be jumping around and dancing and shit like that. So we pretty much just increased the overall energy level and thus had the people entertained a lot more. (Fuck timid people on stage)

Hey, we could still trade. I'd love to go to Japan.

Playing support is so much fun. It's great to have room for a couple songs the local folks know, a couple bits of new material, and a little bit of audience interaction but not have to pad it out with stuff I don't feel like playing. I also like that it's a little bit less stressful, if I'm having an off night it's ok because nobody paid to see me. As it turns out when I'm stressing less I play a lot better.

[KaosCill8r]

I found that the more stressed and anxious I was the better I performed. The anxious feeling usually tapered off after the first couple of songs and I was able to get into it and have fun. But really I haven't performed in about 10 years so I'm no authority on the subject. And all the bands I've ever been in I have been kicked out of. The most gigs I have ever played with any one band has totaled three.

Apple picking is the shit, even more so now that I'm an "adult" so I can reach those super rad apples that were previously too high on the tree.

[futuresailors]

I worked at subway when I was in highschool.

They still give you all you can eat cookies?

[Twangasaurus]

Subway in Singapore has chips (or crisps, whatever) instead of cookies. So dumb.

[Moose]

In the UK you can choose between crisps/chips or having a cookie?



Is this seriously not the standard throughout worldwide subways?

[Wes Mantooth]

The one problem I have with Subways in England are that people who go there don't know how to pronounce 'chipotle.'
