[Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit @ the Lincoln] 02.20.09. Raleigh, NC. This was a fucking kick ass night.
[Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit @ the National] 02.21.09. The National has such great light, Jason never puts on a bad show, and that's really, really all I have to say about that.
In other Richmond related news, your traffic is bad, Richmond, and your rivers are dangerous, and your best venue has a shit photography policy, expects me to pay four bucks for a PBR, and only uses Ticketmaster for tickets. THAT IS THREE STRIKES, I AM D-O-N-E DONE. Richmond, Virginia, I am finished with you, you rotten third rate piece of crap, and you can stuff that anywhere uncomfortable that you want to. (On record: the staff at the emergency room at the VCU hospital are fantastic professionals. They are the best part of Richmond, though I generally recommend just staying out of the emergency room in general. I know quicknow agrees.)
Last week I ordered a card reader for the SD cards that live in all the cameras in our house, and it is seriously the best five bucks (19 cents plus 4.50 in shipping) I have spent all year.
The song I've got stuck in my head this morning: [OutKast -- "Spottieottiedopaliscious"] 7MB, .mp3. Hip hop is rarely my default go-to genre -- that would be Americana-esque stuff, usually -- but I've been on a big old OutKast kick for the last 24 hours. This is such a great song.
The song that's most appropriate to my mood this morning: [John Paul Keith & The One Four Fives -- "Rock N Roll Will Break Your Heart"] 6MB, .mp3.
The Poodle has reached the stage in my growing out of my short haircut that, on Saturday, under the weight of itself, it suddenly stopped wanting to stand up all over my head and started hanging nicely (albeit a little like a very curly mop) on my head instead. I am well pleased by this, except that I'm not sure what I want to do with it or how long I want to grow it. I'm also not sure why I felt you guys needed to know this, but apparently I did.
Today is one of those deceptive days in February in the NC where it looks sunny and gorgeous outside, and then the wind starts up and slices right through any coat you put on, and it's no Chicago but god damn it, I am really, really ready for spring.
For those of you following along at home with last week's poll, I have decided to go with the reversible strap. Stripes are too awesome to pass up.

I like lists because then I don't have to think up segues between the stuff I want to talk about.

you should talk about your hair all the time! god knows i do. :)

there's not often much to talk about, beyond me going, "the poodle is doing something appalling on the top of my head today and i have no idea why and i hope i don't meet any cute boys today." :)

I am all for being D-O-N-E DONE with Richmond. Every time I've driven through it since this summer I've tapped the breaks just long enough to flip off the James River. (and yes, the staff at the ER is wonderful, but a good ER is no reason to go to a city. It only serves to reassure you that, while the city may try to kill you, the ER will put you back together again and give you ample pain meds).

"Rock N Roll Will Break Your Heart" is one of the best songs I found this year. I listened to it on repeat for a long time after I found it.
