Apt - from your history I'm getting that tying down is a no but trussing up is ok.
He's pinned down with a tight sheet right now. Forkrul Assail baby! I'll suspend him from the ceiling tomorrow if this doesn't work. Supposedly Russian peasants used to keep their babies in hammocks above their beds.
What's messing with your groove?

I hear ya! One time some spider eggs hatched on some pasties I was wearing (I thought the eggs were beads). They bit me up and my nipples looked like a couple of Vienna sausages pushed through the center of some bright red salami slices (my areolas) for weeks.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Saw Halestorm last night...the openers were both crap (Dorothy...I dunno what that screeching was, but it's not music) and former Runaway Lita Ford (who was terrible in the way of Axl Rose...like old rocker can't really kick it anymore, and the songs sound terribad). Halestorm was, of course great....so what's messing with my groove other than wasting 1.5hrs on those two terrible opening acts?
The club they played at was overly hot, busier than I've ever seen it at any concert (from the crowd, the old bastards had ventured out to see Ford), cramped, I had my coat (because Eff coat check) folder up over my arm, I had a headache, the dry smoky club gave me a sore throat, my feet hurt, my back was ACHING when I got home, and I was generally just discombobulated.
So what should have been a decent concert and night out was only good for the headliner being excellent...the rest of the night was a horrific wash...and made me feel like I'm getting too old for "club-based" concerts like that.
Sigh.

Next time, get one of those cloth bags with shoulder straps. You can stuff your coat and your date's coat in there and carry around. Should be able to stuff it in a pocket first and then pull out when it's time to switch. I do it all the time and it's really useful.

I should do that. Good tip.

I saw Halestorm once as they were supporting AlterBridge. They were OK I guess. But then Lzzy came on stage to sing with Miles Kennedy and it was pretty mind blowing. That girl can sing!

She can indeed. Even more impressive is the fact that they'v been doing this for 19 years and Lzzy was 13 when they started, Arejay was only 10...she was talking about it last night that their parents were scared as heck to let them do this at that age...but let them do it anyways. But yeah, Lzzy is an utterly incredible singer. For that matter Arejay is a phenomenal drummer.

I don't mind big arena shows or seated venues...if I have a seat I can sit down in, I'm usually fairly happy...but these smaller club shows are starting to wear and tear on me.

Yup, absolutely the same issue. Seated is ok, standing is not. My back starts to hurt very fast.

Which sucks cause a fair number of the bands I like only play smaller venues.

A shitty day today, plus late getting back because somebody obstructed a road and diverted traffic.
Why do people think that if they avoid telling me the software is glitchy I can just work through it and it won't affect me at all?
Why can't people read emails? In which universe does "taking time off to look after my sick grandmother" become "he has malaria and probably dengue"??
I am in a bit of a ranty mood today.

Yeah like I say they're not especially my kind of music (double especially when AlterBridge were so flipping insanely brilliant) but there is no denying her talent!

I purchased a limited edition copy of a book from Subterranean Press as a birthday present for a friend.
Several days later I received an email saying that they had sold more copies than they had and would be refunding my purchase.
The refund came through today and it only included the cost of the book, not the shipping fee (which cost more than the book itself).
Have sent an email requesting that the shipping fee be refunded as well since there are no other items in the order.
Hopefully, there won't be an issue. The email they initially sent seemed genuine in its apologising. Just really disappointed though as it was a perfect gift and this is the second time this exact thing has happened with Subpress.
