@astrobailin.bsky.social do you remember an industrial show we went to c.2003 at a horrible venue in Tempe? It was a mix of acts, but I can’t remember who. Thrill Kill Kult? Pigface?
(I think I asked you about this years ago on the other site, but have since forgotten. I’m getting old)

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen?
The Cure was my favorite band at the time, and while this isn’t my favorite Cure album, it was perfect for that time in my life.

I’m sitting in a mall and “The Humpty Dance” is playing. Have I been transported to 1990?

Heartbroken to hear about the loss of the Lodge at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. In 2022 we took an epic roadtrip with my mom, including a few nights in the cabins on the North Rim. Each morning mom and I drank coffee on the patio behind the lodge. That’s where this pic was taken.

it actually speaks to our core american values that we're bad at the goose-stepping parades
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

I was apparently almost 50 years old when I realized that Sting sings “I want my MTV” in “Money for Nothing” with the same lick as “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”

Just had a funny, pithy personal experience that’s too gross by half to post on here. Killing me.

You don't have to flip someone off, and risk getting caught. You can just decide that every sip of your coffee means "f*ck you."

First turns on Pajarito for the season. With La Niña like to mean a warm dry winter we’re taking advantage of the snow while we have it.
