As always my favorite thing about joco lineups is the excitement at seeing all the unexpected collaborations that come out of it. Like what will zac oyama and simone giertz get up to? Can Vance and James Sheppard jazz it up together? Janet Varney and Ally Beardsley across the table from Jasmine.

Today in me being insufferable: A number of the zines and band posters inside that record shop, uh, belonged to me. The HF production design team borrowed* them from myself and other Chicago music scene/record store folks. The More You Know etc [*no I didn't get paid lol, I did it For the Culture]

In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun!

Oh dang if I went down the rabbit hole of They Might Be Giants I would have to break WAY THROUGH 10 'cause I'd have to start digging into all the amazing acts I've seen on @jococruise.bsky.social — not to mention I've seen TMBG multiple times *off*-cruise as well.
