I am pulling double duty for my (somewhat) annual pride show; performing with both @bloomingheads.bsky.social, and my drummer's band Ash & Violets. Triple duty, if you count promoting/running the show. It is going to be SO MUCH FUN, and I am going to be so tired afterwards.

Chandler Bing has listened to the new little tiny knife album. Have you? If not, be like Chandler Bing: 916growthgigs.bandcamp.com/album/waynes...

Meme of Chandler Bing from Friends, clutching a vinyl record to his chest; the record is the new little tiny knife album, "Wayne's World / Almost Alive From Dustin's Kitchen."
