Twisting the knife.

Magik Markers are better when they're doing improv anyway. The most frustrating thing about the Three Lobed party is that it would have solved my hypothetical Charalambides/Sleep conflict.

Killer lineup, but somewhat perturbed they're having it two miles from where the rest of the action is. Though, upon looking at the Saturday day party schedule a little more, this is where I'll likely be. Most of what I want to see downtown are local bands who I've either already seen or can see any other time. Also just realized the venue this will be at and I've been dying to see some music there (they never have any.) Also, it's about a mile from my house, so if I need to take a corn break, it'll be really convenient.

Probably most excited about Valient Thorr and Pontiak at CAM. Caught Valient Thorr for the first time last month and they were incredible. Easily the most fun I've had at a show all year.

Oh God. This is incredible.

Congrats. Which one did you win?

I am happy for you that you won but also pissed that and i didn't win.

Thanks. This makes up for never winning anything at any of the raffles at the fall festival at my elementary school.

Also, here's a pic of the amphitheatre where that day party's going down. They used to have music there back in the 70's and 80's, but stopped because the neighbors complained about the crowds, I believe. My mom has told me this story about how her and my dad were at some concert there and he went to pee on the side of one of the houses near it. A cop wound up shining his flashlight on him and my dad ran back over a mile to his place (I don't believe he was chased.)

Friday just became split set city, for me. I f*cking hate splitting sets.

Riton canceling sucks.

Where's the cooler place to stay - Clarion or Days Inn?

There's an indoor theater in the same park. And a rose garden, where my parents got married (it's behind the stage in the picture.) Fun fact: used to be the NC State Fair Grounds long ago. The reason the park is oval-shaped is because they used to have horse races there.
