I realized I've never posted pictures of my new cat, ( so here he is, looking very dignified.Collapse ) He's not dignified; he's a disaster. I just locked him out of my office for being a terror, so he's probably downstairs destroying something now.
I feel like most of what is going on in my life involves work these days, so that's what I start to talk about when I try to post, but even I am super bored by that topic.
Here are some other things. They are all about bandom.
* Also a couple of weeks ago, I saw Greta's new band, Springtime Carnivore with jrho. They were kind of weird, but great. I've had the album on repeat in my car pretty much since the show. J knows Greta through some other fandom friends, so we ended up chatting with the band at the end. I am always really awkward in those kinds of situations, but Greta was super sweet, and the rest of the band was really friendly. They all seemed to be having SO MUCH FUN on tour, and their enthusiasm was great.
* Despite being completely fannishly out of the loop about everything, I somehow managed to see Spencer's note about leaving Panic yesterday pretty much right after it was posted. From the very little I've been paying attention, it seems like that was a long time coming. Mostly, I just found it a little weird how he talks about his memories of the band like they bear any resemblance to what is going on with the band now. Maybe they do, I don't know his life. But, like, Ryan's been gone for years, and isn't Brendon's all that's left at this point? Is Dallon officially a member now? I don't even know. But he's all "the band is going to continue to do great things!" "The Band" is Brendon, and he's proooobably going to be even more of an embarrassment without even Spencer to keep him in check. This is my prediction. Which is not to say I didn't kind of love To Weird to Live, To Rare to Die. I did.
* Semi-relatedly, where the fuck is Ryro's solo album?
* I really, really miss Cobra Starship. Just putting that out there.
You, you, you. Nothing can ever replace how much we all cared for each other a decade and longer ago. It's always good to know you're okay. And if you happen to be anywhere near NY in late…
Hi hi hi! So good to see you around. I went to visit chrisleeoctaves last week and we got to reminiscing about Writercon and meeting so many fandom folks. We both agreed that you were…
