A little more on yesterday's story about Fooled By April playing a show for exactly one semi-retarded audience member:
There was a giant disco ball in the center of the ceiling, causing circling reflections of light to dance across the floor. As Pete looked on, the semi-retarded audience member watched the lights race with autistic fascination, his head snapping with every turn of the ball. All of a sudden, the guy burst into action, charging after one of the lights. After a few steps, he crashed head first into a support post.
Rubbing his head, he turned to Pete and noticed that he was being watched.
Guy: I was just chasing after...
Pete: Oh - I'm fully aware of what you were doing.
That's what's become of me, people. I'm sharing anecdotes about other bands.
But don't fret, true believers. Maybe our show at TT the Bear's on Friday February 23rd will be just as anecdote-producing. As far as I know, there won't be any semi-retarded people there... well, besides Jason Dunn of The Luxury. Aw snap!

Me too!
if only you could share antidotes to other bands. I need to innoculate myself against this bad case of noble rot... i caught it when i crashed my crown victoria into ditch on tuesday, no - it was wednesday, no wait, ok. thursday... it was dark and my halogens were failing, not enough watts. i was in the ditch in the muck and the mire, lookng at the dents, when i couldn't remember what sort of car i'd wished i'd had - and then it hit me like a shot! Bang! Camaro. i decided to scamper up the hill and join the crowd that had gathered near the dead trees. I was just another taxpayer, trying to be a gentleman, feeling sort of So and So, like the worlds greatest sinner. I realized that there was a silver lining to my being a spaceshot, that even though its not all luxury - i'm still able to fall for the charms of other cultures, notably the russians. So i ran down the stairs with my friend raymond - we said halleluja for the hills and hooray for earth! From the lowest Gravel Pit to the Black Clouds, from the humanoids to imanginary creatures like the pixies, and we're all gonna die someday.
Oof. "Antidote". Otherwise, well done.

I think that was intentional, based on the Noble Rot innoculation intro.
I hope s/he didn't suffer any Motion Sick.

"I think that was intentional, based on the Noble Rot innoculation intro."
Right you are. My apologies.
