Went fangirling again. This time was two nights of Dessa, conductor Sarah Hicks, and the Minnesota Orchestra. Both nights were incredible but the Friday audience was a little rowdier.

Tour life. Fangirling is hard.

Fangirling @garbage.com at @first-avenue.com. My 1st Garbage show was here in 2005. Back 20 years and 90ish shows later with so many friends I’ve met along the way. It’s a good night.

Yeah that tracks.
Past 1 year of stress data from a fitness watch. The line chart is pretty flat just above 26 until July 2025, where the line goes up at about a 45 degree angle into September.

Got some badge bling just now.

I have left my room on a Saturday afternoon for the first time in a long series of Dragoncons (to the WESTIN no less!) and I am ready to get this book signed by @charliejane.bsky.social. Usually I hide in my room and watch DCTV. But for Charlie Jane, I will brave the crowds.
Hardcover book. Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders. Cover is purple with orange-yellow all caps text.

Reacquainting myself with some treasures while I box up my life to move. This one is particularly special. Went to MadCity Music in Madison, WI for a meet and greet with Butch Vig and Steve Marker of @garbage.com and director of The Smart Studios Story, Wendy Schneider.

Took a break from moving to see Heavy Metal Brass Band tonight. They kicked things off with a little Black Sabbath and many tritones!🤘It was a very fun set and I’m generally not super keen on brass.

Their debut full length dropped today.

Saw @garbage.com for the 89th time today with a few of my favorite gig buddies at a festival and I am wiped. Arrived before gates, sprinted like I was up for Olympic gold anchoring the 4x400m relay to get rail, hung out all day in the sun. But I’d do it again. This is the only photo I shot.

Played a lot of music during jams at VGM Con this weekend. Here’s me with Jo Cleary aka JoPlaysViolin. We played with @sheaviolin.bsky.social too which was wonderful but I think this was before Shea joined us.

Got a cute little piece of new gear for Christmas. The CD is for scale. I plan to use this lil amp for travel with my electric cello and violin. First outing will probably be VGM Con in the spring. Should fit nicely in my cello case. Hope it sounds ok enough but sound isn’t the primary concern.

I've been seeing accounts around here that have NO DMs in their profile. And to me that's a red flag that perhaps that account is either not human or up to no good but also FYI you can just disable DMs entirely.

It was a huge pain in the ass but I got my Garbage fangirl Black Friday Record Store Day vinyl. I wasn’t able to go early due to travel so I ended up going to four stores in the early evening and got lucky.

Also, I picked up a book order from my local independent book store and ordered my mom a book for Christmas. This is my haul: A Year in the Wilderness and North American Odyssey both by Amy and Dave Freeman who are environmental educators and activists.

freemanexplore.com
Copies of A Year in the Wilderness (paperback) and North American Odyssey (hardcover) laid out on a grey couch. A Year in the Wilderness is a wide shot of the Freemans paddling a canoe on a lake with pine trees on shore and fog. North American Odyssey is a shot from a kayak of mountains with a small iceberg. The very front of the kayak.
