I just realized we covered over a 100 shows this year. Which really means we've covered over 100 shows since May since that's when we became a semi-legit show covering operation.
and they ranged from GWAR and Sword to Madlib to Morrissey to Spoon to Jay Reatard to Eartha Kitt. How's that for variety?

Everyone deserves a fruit basket. And a hug!
(well, everyone deserves more than that, but hugs is all I can give right now)

That one photo by Liz unfortunately makes the model look like this woman: image

Note that I said that one photo. In the rest of the spread she did not and was quite fetching.

RE: Becca's photo. Yep. Still hot. (*would have lit the cigarette just for the photo though).

Unfortunately all the others are red x boxes so I'll have to reserve further comment until later.
