the air is dry, the gust shakes trailers and an tall iced coffee is $2.50. Don Laughlin sits atop the building where we play MGMT to the crowd that demands CCR instead. and with the access to the world outside via 1s and 0s severely limited (which seems to be the case almost anywhere I travel) I will make this quick – breaking news! I’m getting older.

despite the line from Jason Fong play “there’s nothing appealing about getting old” I find my 30s so far to be blessed with many things I oughta be grateful of. and as I’ve done in the last 2 years I would love to see you at Grand Star, a week from today on Feb 2nd. we’re also celebrating the synth wiz/super-music-librarian Stephen “minimoog” Thomas’ BD, if any of you synth nerds have NOT seen the minimoog in its full glory it’s definitely worth a school night out.

also featuring Bong Jovi of LA Derby Dolls fame on the turntable, he’s dropping the downbeat at 9pm sharp
come out and have a drink (or two) with us – we only live once, don’t think twice, I’ll be shooting tequila at least thrice
