Going to do a twofer and see two OLD bands tonight at two shows at the Hi-Fi in Indy. ALL at 6:pm and Shonen Knife at 8:pm. I will probably write a thing for @razorcake.bsky.social and talk about old people things.

I made these beautiful copies of hard to get VHS releases. Go to Vulture and rent one (big fan of the Wiz Kid).

Lyndsey found out she was accidentally paying for a [Super Capitalistic Streaming Service] account after a free trial. I took the time to watch the 2nd season of the new animated Batman show. What the hell is up with the animation on it? Good show, but nobody moves their arms or blinks.
![1. Sometimes you’re sitting at home trying to force yourself to draw something. “I’m so out of practice” “I suck!” “Nobody cares!” “I’m talking out loud!”
2. Then you decide to drive to the store to buy some shorts. “I’m sure I’ll look sharp and sassy in these.” [Jnco 40% off]

@yokoikids.bsky.social In 2016 I got my pal @angrylanks.bsky.social a copy of Operation C for his birthday. And tonight, a mere four days before the tenth anniversary of that gift, we beat the game. Matt took down the final boss with no lives left. It was very tense.
I've always wanted an issue of Thrasher from the year and month I was born. But for some weird-ass reason, there is not June 1982 issue. On this journey I did learn that they archive most issues on their site and that's very cool. Here's July 1982. www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/mag...
