For those of you not familiar with the Mudhens (who are reuniting Saturday night at Harper's Ferry right after our little ol' Scamper set), you can check out their shizznit hnyaw. Should be a really fun show. There are only two bands on the bill, so our set should be looooooooong. Like really long. I might grow a beard during it.
And now, some observational "humor":
I saw one of those "Where You At?" commercials for Boost Mobile cell phones advertising a new feature in which people can keep track of each other's locations via global satellite. Apparently, you look down at your phone and see a little red dot representing your buddy walking down the street. So you know where your friends are. All the time. Creep city.
The commercial has two urban (read: "black") males keeping very close tabs on each other with this space-age spy technology. What I want to know is - how does this sort of arrangement come to pass?
Urban Youth #1: I think we should buy these new Boost Mobile phones together.
Urban Youth #2: You think we should buy phones... together?
Urban Youth #1: Yeah, that way we'll always know where each other at. You know... 'Where You At?'
Urban Youth #2: You want to know where I am all the time?
Urban Youth #1: No, not where you are. I want to know 'where you at?' You know, like those commercials. They're geared toward urban youth like us.
Urban Youth #2: Why in the hell do you need to know where I am all the time? What am I, your heart surgeon?
Urban Youth #1: No, I just thought it would be cool if we...
Urban Youth #2: It's not cool. It's just weird! What the hell is wrong with you, man?
Urban Youth #1: I'm sorry... sometimes I just get so lonely... ever since my dad left and my mom started shacking up with the ice cream man...
[breaks down in sobs]
Urban Youth #2: Man. I had no idea how much you were hurting inside.
Urban Youth #1: I can't get the smell of toasted almond bars out of my hair...
Urban Youth #2: Come here, man.
[They hug]
Voiceover: Boost Mobile: We can get the smell of toasted almond bars out of your hair.
Line up, advertising agencies. I'm ready to go to work.

The Harper's Ferry site is charging a $4.50 service charge for each ticket bought in advance for the show. That's nuts. Not even Ticketmaster would have the audacity to add a 45% convenience charge.
I wonder if Harpers gets that money or if that's what the ticketing service charges.
I wish my hair smelled of toasted almond bars.

Really? That's insane. I think you can buy them at the venue.
Can you get them in advance at the venue? Do you think this will sell out?
It's 400 capacity... could sell out as the night goes on but i doubt it'll be sold out if you get there at 9.
