Thursday Night At The Fillmore
There is absolutely no reason for you to ever stay in on any night of the week. Well, except for the night that Nickelback are playing. You can stay in that night.

Jonathan Coulton
John Linnell of They Might Be Giants
After an inexplicable ten years without seeing They Might Be Giants, I got to the Fillmore early to get that spot right up front just like I remembered. What I wasn’t sure of was if I would still hear my favorite song and would the two John’s still rock it like crazy.

The new fab four? Molly, Paul, Storm and Joco
Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle is a lot of things, but mostly it’s a gathering of a community of like minded gamers.

First of all, this is the second year I’ve gone (out of many I will attend; it’s populated by uniformly awesome people).
