My life was genuinely missing more rap shows in comic book stores. True story. Euge is a super excellent human being and his new album is absolutely fantastic. You should go look at his website.

the static minds @ kings
About halfway through the Static Minds’ set last night, I turned to t. and said, “All frontmen should come with hips and hair like Erik’s. It should be a requirement.” I know a lot of really great lead singers, lead guitarists, and Erik Sugg is among the best I’ve seen in the Triangle in forever….
triple double
“I tell guys in the (coaches) clinic all the time, one of the reasons I like to play as fast as we do is because coaches always have negative thoughts. If we’re going up and down the court so blasted fast I don’t have time to have negative thoughts.” — Roy Williams, circa 2008 or…

wait for spring
“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” — Rogers Hornsby With the World Series done, all that’s left to do this off-season is count the days until pitchers and catchers (102, if you want to…
