Re: Charlottesville Sat. 4/16!

As has been said, tough to beat an in-store and rock show within the span of a few hours. Thank you DBT. I sort of have a "takeaway" from each show I've seen - something I chew on until the next show. One time it might be how hanging with 3DD/9B-ers takes the experience to a new level, and...

OK, so I like to collect all things Clash/Ramones/Pistols. I had these badass Clash paintings by Steve Keene, of their 5 studio albums. If you don't know Steve Keene, and want some inexpensive one-of-a-kind art, check him out on the web or eBay. You'll be surprised how reasonable his stuff is. Anywa...

Either way, 'tis gonna be sweet, but if the weather folks know a thing or two, then there's a...

I don't (can't) cut the grass without DBT! Nothing else can get me to do it. :D

Two of my favorite grass-cutting playslists are Smitty's Airplane Screams and that Southern Cousins acoustic (and beautifully sauced) show.

I've only seen them open for the Truckers once, it was at a Cat's Cradle show back when The Dirty South was new if I'm not mistaken. Kudzu, you ...
