This dude booked us last year. He was creepy from the start, and we had issues with him throughout the show itself. At the end he needed a ride home (which we didn’t know about until he knocked on the van window while we were waiting to get paid), so we drove him home, and he says he cooked for us (he also said “I made cornbread especially for you” to me haha, no thanks). We go inside and of course it’s a horror house in there too, mixed with all these weird vibes coming from his actions and the few times he’d speak, and he acted odd and stressed. We thought he was plotting murder or something, so we didn’t stay with him and drove instead. That’s how badly we didn’t want to stay.

That was last year, and one of the last times I spoke to the dude until now. We only ever talked about the show and then I deleted him for posting gross stuff about women. He blocked me once I wouldn’t accept his request again. Then he pops up with this in the middle of the night.

DO NOT LET HIM BOOK YOUR BAND IN CALIFORNIA. He’s said some ridiculous shit, which is why my initial response is laughing at him, but he’s not trolling. He shouldn’t make it in the door for anyone’s shows, especially ours.

We went on tour in July with Swells (and a few dates with Marcy). This video was shot in Fargo, ND at the new direction.

Unlikely simultaneous historical events

A poster on Reddit asks: What are two events that took place in the same time in history but don’t seem like they would have?

[quantumblog]

Spain was still a fascist dictatorship when Microsoft was founded.

There were no classes in calculus in Harvard’s curriculum for the first few years because calculus hadn’t been discovered yet.

Two empires [Roman & Ottoman] spanned the entire gap from Jesus to Babe Ruth.

When the pyramids were being built, there were still woolly mammoths.

The last use of the guillotine was in France the same year Star Wars came out.

Oxford University was over 300 years old when the Aztec Empire was founded.

I know it’s less of a shock if you read His Last Bow, but it does blow my mind a bit that there’s an entire collection of ACD Holmes stories that were written and published after World War I.

Comparing historical timelines is my favorite activity, friends.

Nintendo was founded the same year that the Eiffel tower was finished.

iwakuradenver this seems like it’s to your liking

[iwakuradenver]

People thinking with historical perspectives in mind is usually to my liking. Like how Apartheid didn't end in South Africa until I was around 7 years old.

They are in fact much worse.
