Went up to Boston last weekend to (once again) see my favorite band, Sub-Radio @subradioband.bsky.social

The cannoli pancakes the next day were the frosting on the cake, so to speak

I’m in the middle, and a Sunrise City flag that I brought is being held by Matt, Adam, and Mike Picture of my left forearm with multiple Sub-Radio friendship bracelets being worn Photo of my right arm with additional friendship bracelets Breakfast the day after the concert, consisting of a side of ham and cannoli pancakes.
