Just wanted to share a demo from the concept album my band is cooking up. Its about a preacher, his lover, and a shooting.

The family roadtrip from Niagara Falls to NYC brought us to a route through Pennsylvania (since we were staying in New Jersey).

And I remembered that Doug has history in Pittsburgh (the absolutely opposite direction)

okay not to whine after going to a vegan food festival but. why are restaurants increasingly becoming meat-oriented again.

My body feels very weird right now - i have gained enough weight that i look almost normal, my underwear doesnt fall down so badly anymore, clothes fit better, and i can even try exercising a little while experiencing minimal dizziness. But im learning about post exercise fatigue and that 'drop' that makes you feel like death. And its so so hard to tell if everything you are working at is helping you get better...or making things worse.

Its also funny that now, when dancing is a serious struggle (i limit myself to 20-30 mins max and only 5 mins of that at a high heart rate) is when i finally pick up a d*il*Do because in my twenties dancing used to be the only outlet for any s * 3xu * al energy i had

Every hipster club in pittsburgh, i was there lol - remedy, cattivo, bel*vederes, spirit, ho/t mas/s, that one secret spot above the cantina, countless private parties all over the city. Usually with naeem doing a set next to me at some point - you know often when i made it clear i knew the dj and was there for him people tended to leave me alone and i could just let loose in peace.

hello fun 2ourdust albany things (note i typed this at like 4:30 am last night when i simply couldn't sleep but then passed out before i could post it so it may not be the most coherent)

- pete talking about upstate being special 2 him due to memories of taking a bus to a tattoo parlor in syracuse and feeling inspired by all these cool achc dudes... god i love hardcore scene lore fob stuff ESPECIALLY when upstate gets brought into it

- reinventing the wheel for the first time in apparently seventeen YEARS (i take full responsibility for making this happen due to my showing up in my tttyg crewneck /s)

- andy waved to us!! long story short about 30 of us were waiting by the wrong buses sadly & just barely missed pete & patrick meeting folks by the right ones. we were pretty heartbroken when we came over & found out, but a combination of the andy thing & meeting/trading bracelets/caroling along to folie songs (if ya know ya know) with cool folks turned waiting after the show into a fond memory regardless. i love the fob community, dude. t/2ourdust has changed everything for me.

and still i just find it worth noting how sick it is that this tour pete & patrick have been taking the time to come out & talk w folks. you don't see that much with bands playing arena shows and it makes me happy to see.

- lots of celebration for the smfs anniversary!

muse live (shit is INCREDIBLE live dude), kintsugi & what a time to be alive for medley, lil pete speech about the record.

- ginasfs instead of sixteen candles as a wild card again!!! i cannot believe i have heard her three times now when if you asked me two years ago i never would have thought i'd hear her once!

- smfs is definitely a worthy replacememt for srar in every sense. i appreciate both similarly, and i love that they recall tourdust's srar performance in the sense of it serving as a great medley transition, also in regard a to collaboration (everyone joining in to sing at the end, in this case joe especially)

- that reminds me, it seemed like pete did a lot of backing vox tonight which was nice

- i may only really know a handful of jimmy songs well but great band and jim adkins is one of those people that just seems nice. i like watching the dude do his thing.

- seeing hot mully in an arena was crazy. was pretty sad they cut featuring mark hoppus but still was nice 2 see them

- i remain wholly not a fan of seated shows, at least not for this kinda music, that did get me down at a couple points as i just can't move the way i wanna (not being able to mosh to cbts etc like at tourdust sucked, as well as just being confined to my seat/row all night) & also it seems to keep the crowd in general way more stagnant.

but at least i could see well + no one around me was particularly disrespectful!!

i also respect fob's ability to make a concert at an arena like this still feel like a SHOW (in the scene sense)

- and finally, have nightmare quality pete randomly crawling inside the inflatable dog (i am currently forgetting dude's name)

What’s the craziest thing to have happened in ur irl alt scene?

Mine was when an old goth I knew enough that she took me to nites and gothy volunteer work got permabanned from our local scene because of her increasingly absurd bigoted opinions on queer ppl (basically repeatedly calling trans ppl and drag queens groomers, harassing trans women at nites so much she was repeatedly reported to the promoters, etc…) to the point of literal violence and insists on doubling down every time she’s even so much as politely called out by the local goths while also posing for pics with trans ppl and drag queens and pretty much everyone has distanced themselves from her on the book. It was wild. Also blocked her myself cause it was getting bizarre. Like girly went down the christcuck magat t*rf rabbit hole so hard she’s in bigot narnia.
