I'm playing at the Makeout Room tonight at 9pm. Slint is sold out so you have no reason not to come. Obligatory self-aggrandizing spam now:
This is our first show since November and we've written an entirely new album since, songs from which we'll be road testing tonight. The band will be myself, Sacha Galvagna, Raj Ojha, and Ray Welter.
We'll also have official copies of the forthcoming album "The Glass Bottom Boat" for sale. The album will be released by UK Label Resonant on August 20th (and distributed by Darla in the US) and available at fine online establishments and the two physical record stores left in existence. But you can have them a month early and give your money directly to us if you come to the show. Some of you may already have CD-Rs of the album but trust me when I say that the final product looks beautiful (for those who care about packaging).
Details:
Carta @ the Makeout Room w/ Jake Mann and Snowdrift 3225 22nd St, San Francisco showtime: 9pm door fee: $7 (I think)
We're playing first.
Hope to see some of you there,
Kyle

Is it me or does the city feel extra crazy today? Way more people than usual, Market St feels like Manhattan, power cuts everywhere, sirens all day long and there's been two huge film shoots on my street - one for "Journeyman" and another for Fruit Of The Loom - dudes dressed like this:

there were 3 separate gunfight incidents yesterday on market street between 10am-6pm.
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:32 (sixteen years ago) link

the Mason Street shooting involved someone being shot in the foot
― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:40 (sixteen years ago) link
there was Mason, then a driveby near the chess tables and finally an execution style to a car passenger on Cyril Magnin.
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 22:44 (sixteen years ago) link
so...does this town have a new sheriff?

― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Cool. If you have anything going on, be sure to bring it up here.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 05:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Yo. Anyone here?
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2007 05:52 (sixteen years ago) link

― akm, Thursday, 16 August 2007 05:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm here but my dad's in town and I have to go furniture shopping so uh, I am no fun sorry
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link
-_-
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm here and will probably be a the Rickshaw Stop tomorrow night but that's only because I'm underage. Also no fun, sorry.

I killed a thread. Gourmet macaroni cook-off and BBQ at my downstairs neighbors house this afternoon.
― MParadis, Sunday, 19 August 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link
i used this thread a few weeks ago on a little weekend trip, went to dotties(we stayed around the corner, as it happened) and while in line we chatted with a dude who owns a cabbie school. After breakfast he graciously offered to drive us around the city and we graciously accepted; we hit the civic center, opera house, that big dome by the lake(forgot what it's called sry), across/above the golden gate, the presidio, robin williams' house, north beach and then he had to go and dropped us off in front of our hotel. he was fucking awesome, he said doing the tours are actually fun for him even after all these years. I owe it all to you guys and him and san francisco and myself.

Goodbye, SF. It was fun knowing you.
― The Reverend, Monday, 20 August 2007 10:58 (sixteen years ago) link
(I soooo want to go back. Hopefully when I have a traveling companion who is of legal drinking age/isn't a teetotaler. That city is fucking brilliant. Oh, and that cool Temple/Dome-ish thing is the Exploratorium.)
― The Reverend, Monday, 20 August 2007 11:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I want to go back too :(
― Jill, Monday, 20 August 2007 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, and that cool Temple/Dome-ish thing is the Exploratorium.
actually no, it's the Palace Of Fine Arts. The exploratorium is housed in an exhibition hall around the corner.

I don't know if I'll make it back before then, but I'll definitely be there next August. I'm going to make a work trip to the CA State Fair and fit in side trips to SF and possibly Redding. Although going to Redding just to see the Sundial Bridge may not be worth it.
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Redding is roughly 5 hours away and has little to recommend it in the way of tourism
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
He used to live there, Shakey. He knows.
― Michael White, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
God, do I know. Even so, there were hundreds of better meals there than here in franchised-to-death Amory.
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:11 (sixteen years ago) link
I want to come to SF during Dungeness season and get a case of crabs.
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, Redding city limits to Bay Bridge = 2:30.
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
haha don't mind me! sorry
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link
im moving there in about a week, ilx.
― chaki, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I want to move there at some point in my life.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link
K so I live here now. Anyone know of a good temp agency?

― poortheatre, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 01:35 (sixteen years ago) link
my wife wants to move there NOW until i remind her we're priced out of fucking Tujunga much less the Bay Area. I am a good man and supportive husband otherwise.
― tremendoid, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 02:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I used to book shows at me and Max's college. I also do boring office work well.
