I got the wonderful opportunity to create some artwork for the latest issue of This Might be a Zine! I encourage you to check it out for the Stan Harrison interview and news on A24.

A rare and special thing happened at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on November 23, 2000 and as far as I know it never happened before or since. They opened with their improvised instrumental known as Masshole and as soon as the Johns came out, Flansburgh started banging on the keyboard while Linnell picked up the Chessmaster guitar and proceeded to noodle. 😲

I shot a video of this spectacle from the balcony with the lowres floppy-loaded Mavica, but of course that was the one disk that was somehow corrupted when I got it home. 😭 All I have to offer you is the video that I shot immediately after, in which you can see Linnell pretending to toss the guitar to Flans before handing it off. 😆

Like I said, I was in the balcony for once at this show, but here's a photo taken by somebody in my usual spot. As you can see, he's holding it upside-down and using the mic stand as a slide (!) 🙌

I get my pawn to the other side of the chess board. King you I say. That's impossible you say. I pull out another king piece. It's your side's color. It becomes impossible to determine royal lineage. Your kingdom crumbles. Checkmate.
