Was going to post this. I’ll put it on periodically when I need a good cry.

TONIGHT IN ELGIN! Plastique/Total Diamonds/ST37 This is a shredder of a show happening in Elgin at Lightning Bar, about 20 miles East of Austin. There’s been a weird little scene building up around the Lightning Bar over the last year or two. All those noisy and arty people getting priced out of Aus...
