Very excited that I just got an invite for a Handsome family event at the StL Art Museum, free show and drinks in a pretty great setting, limited to under 100 people in about 3 weeks. Should be fun.

Also, coming up and all added to my calendar...Guitar Wolf, Mission of Burma, and the Melvins. Might check out M83, but I haven't cared for their last couple albums and the tickets are pricey. A couple noise shows I've promised to attend but I don't know who they are. One is a friend's thing and another a girl I trust in these matters is a massive fan of. Damn schedule for the next couple months is starting to get awfully full.
