I really like The Beths. I saw them during the Biden administration at a much smaller club, and was glad to see them again, even at this venue with its turbocharged lights and sound.

Tonight, I did the unthinkable and took a couple of photos at.a.show. Yes, I who sneer at folks who spend more time capturing shows than experiencing them. But I was in the very back, and I don't think my snaps messed with anyone's view. #TheBeths

pity you didn't get a chance to hear the Apple Hill String Quartet perform while you were in Keene.

The Phantom Tollbooth Quotes @phantomtollbot.bsky.social · 15h
And out the demons came—from every cave and crevice, through every fissure and crack, from under the rocks and up from the mud, stomping and shuffling, slithering and sliding, through the murky shadows. And all had only one thought in mind: destroy the intruders and protect Ignorance.

The Phantom Tollbooth Quotes @phantomtollbot.bsky.social · 18h
"I'm afraid of everything. That's why I'm so ferocious. If the others found out, I'd just die. Now do be quiet while I eat my breakfast." He raised his hand toward his gaping mouth and the Humbug shut his eyes tightly and clasped both hands over his head.
A giant that looks very similar to the mountains he’s sitting down in front of. He’s holding Milo, Tock, and the Humbug in the palm of one hand.

"I'm the demon of insincerity," he sobbed. "I don't mean what I say, I don't mean what I do, and I don't mean what I am. Most people who believe what I tell them go the wrong way, and stay there, but you have spoiled everything." "It certainly pays to have a good look at things," observed Milo.
The demon of insincerity. A short round body with long feet and a sullen, sheepish face

A 3,500-year-old Egyptian dog had a unique name linked to the underworld god Anubis. The good pupper was named dwȝ.ty, meaning “He-of-the-Underworld.” The name is unusual, no other known dog bears the same name. Even in ancient Egypt, dogs had a place in human life. Rest in peace little buddy. 🐕

In the chair, but the compressor stopped working so everything is halted. Muzak = Gypsy and my god Stevie Nicks is a terrible singer. Like a violin's G string, every note, all the time. #MuzakAndChill

Dentist's waiting room hell: tv with some game show; 70s dreck muzak; angry woman in a We The People t shirt and Florida ball cap; many people playing games on unmuted phones. My appointment time was 10 minutes ago, but I'm prepared. Headphones, podcasts, audiobook, sweater, hoodie.
