I am once again at a great show that cost me $10 and is being attended by like 8 people

This shit is why I will never not live in a major city. Even in a town as tech-bro sterilized as seattle there's so much amazing stuff happening every weekend if you make the effort to seek out interesting art.

man I love live music I need to make more of an effort to find and go to cool shows

I do think it’s ultimately the potion seller’s right to not sell the knight potions that would explode the knight and that it’s out of hubris that the knight keeps insisting on only the strongest potions but I also think it’s a situation born on clashing egos because the potion seller is clearly proud of how strong he can make his potions and here comes a common bloke insinuating that he can handle the best of what the potion seller is capable of offering, and instead of offering more suitable alternatives from his own stock the potion seller completely shutters down on this initial gaffe out of pride - note how he says “you’d better go to a seller that sells weaker potions” instead of recommending his own weaker potions, suggesting that he is still stuck on the knight’s request as an insult to his abilities as a seller above anything else, and reasserting himself as a high quality seller relative to other sellers. ultimately this unfortunate interaction happens because neither party is willing to cede an inch out of the initial affront to their self image

“I haven’t counted them, maybe [have] like a hundred ghost photos. It’s because I had this old camera, it’s still the camera I use for film photography, where I had this setting where the shutter just opens and then you have to press the shutter again to get it to close. So very long exposures for low light or a night sky. And I was usually travelling by myself and living by myself so the only way I could take my own picture was to set the camera on something, open the shutter, run out and stand there for a minute, and then run back to close the shutter. So it was like a picture of a place with me superimposed translucently.”
