just booked my weakerthans sideshow ticket!
dudes, i am so fricken excited. i love the weakerthans a huge amount, and i was super bummed when i found out that there is pretty much no cheap hostel in northampton and that there was no way i could get back to providence after the show, effectively stopping my plan to go to that show last year in its tracks. and i was also really not looking forward to having to watch them in a festival setting, where i would be hot and sweaty and generally not in a good mood (this is my default festival setting.) they’re playing at the annandale! it will be tiny and amazing.
HOWEVER. that means my week in melbourne that i was basing around soundwave will start with soundwave rather than ending with it. probably thursday 25th to the following wednesday/thursday? (i say wednesday because thursday is pavement at the enmore day, and idk if i want to risk getting back late?) would melbourne people be around to hang out with then? can you recommend a good tattoo artist, provided i don’t chicken out before then? LET’S DO THIS.
