BF and I had a wonderful time at the theatre last night! Thank you @andrewcownden.bsky.social and the rest of the cast for a fantastically silly high-energy face! If you're in Vancouver this is playing for another two weeks, totally go and see it!

What's better than a copy of @bitterkarella.bsky.social 's just-released novel MOONFLOW? Why, it's having her sign it with an extremely specific reference to the episode of @flashitpancast.bsky.social we just had him on...! I will cherish this, thank you so much!

🎵 Picture yourself in a field on the shitter
With cold plastic seat and a terrible smell
There's a balloon that breaks free from its moorings
And sends you directly to hell

Was looking up what happened to Scavenger's Reign and scrolled down the Wikipedia page and...wow. Just look at this. An enormous graveyard of shows, dozens in just five years. Imagine the time and effort and money poured into them, including some critically- and fan-beloved programming. Feels weird!

Wow, imagine getting literally murdered and THE magazine in your industry can't even be bothered to write your obituary themselves.

A short clip of GY!BE near the end of the set. This does not compare even 1% to the physical and aural experience of being there.

And then Godspeed You! Black Emperor was as intense, hypnotic, queasy and heavy as I was hoping. What an experience. I even bought a couple of zines!
