QotD: Do Not Want (To Eat)

2007-06-22T15:48:35Z

An era has ended

2007-06-05T13:37:13Z

And my 1994 Chevy Corsica is now the prized possession of one E. Grim. He has affectionately named it Red Stupid (a product of one of our many in-jokes). I get visitation rights every Wednesday (for band practice, you know). My parents gave me ...

Joy Division

2007-05-18T18:17:01Z

Shortwave Dahlia - notes from 4/21/07 performance

2007-04-23T14:33:07Z

We got together at the venue at around 8:00 PM. Met Lee from Simon pretty early on, who was incredibly good to us. I traded him a copy of the EP for a t-shirt. Dana came to the show and got some pictures which I cannot wait to see. We ended up wi...
