im slowing down my shows toward fourty. when you see so many shows since high school . . . the appeal loses its head, and you are left with the same ole flat warm beer out of a damn plastic cup. i hold my pee, because i fucking hate the bathrooms there, the merch is out of fucking control in price, people are rude and shitty at shows unless you are seeing some boring mainstream act where people do actually feel lucky to be there, sound and sightlines suck unless you pay to be up front, and good luck getting those tickets. getting there, getting home, spending all that money. i enjoy my couch streaming shows now with all the bathroom breaks i want and kitchen stops and beer stops and everything else that comes from pausing live stream.
