I picked up tickets to see Los Lobos and X at the Ryman this fall.  Unless I sneak to some show there before then, it'll be my first trip to the church of country music (and to see a punk band, no less)

Got to see my favorite band the Chameleons once again.  Met up with a few elderly folks like myself, and our conversations were focused around our ailments as old-folks-discussion SHOULD be! 😄 The band were also wrapped in dark Goth bands - they were the 3rd of 4 bands.  I don't mind a little bit, but even the two opening bands got to be too much for me.  After the Chameleons played, I went home; the headliner (Twin Tribes) are VERY Goth and not what I cared to hear. I e-chatted with one of the other cranky old people yesterday, and he and I agreed that the sound and the band's performance was not quite as good as it has been in the past.  But I also watched the set with another couple, and while we agreed the sound wasn't the best we just let loose and thoroughly enjoyed the show.  Hit the "fuck I needed this" spot after a bunch of crazy work weeks. Also got to meet someone I've known through FB; s/he (she is transitioning to he) was running the merch table.  So despite not being perfect, was a great time and just what the doctor of sanity ordered!  

Sorry to hear of the woes upon woes....sending multitudes of hugs and wishing you sleep and fast/full healing!

Ooh whee, this judge is MAD!  https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.1508.0_2.pdf Not a lawyer, but I reckon the Apple VP of Finance may be headed for some jail time?

I wanted to post an update from the weekend earlier, but I was waiting for the group photo...  Needless to say it was a great day. There was a lot of driving for myself, I just live too far away from everything these days.  But the weather was perfect and it was a great day of sharing and having a lovely walk around the lake. Engaging people along the way to share our mission. We invited two other organizations, Living with Conviction, and Civil Survival, to help share their stories and support as well.        We ended up just under $13,000! from our $15k goal.  Thanks again and with much gratitude to all.
