Wrapped up a short & sweet tour that was precipitated by Croz Boyce (Avey Tare & Geologist of Animal Collective + their friend/producer Adam) asking Matt & me to open for them on a couple of gigs. The whole week was magical. Pictured are us w CB, & a painting by Sanford Darling that made me cry.

Playing a couple of shows with Avey Tare and Geologist of Animal Collective in their EXCELLENT new duo Croz Boyce next month. Unspeakably huge honor for me 🥹
Current library job is way too infected with bureaucracy to be able to do it, but at my last one, my coworker and I got IT to install VLC as the default media player on all the lab’s PCs 🌷
