langhorne slim @ cat’s cradle
As always, Langhorne Slim’s set at the Cat’s Cradle last night was transcendent. Seriously, one of the best live performers working right now. His live set is never less than 150% stellar. I think I’ve forgotten how to write a post here. I’ll be back soon. Stay put, y’all.

american aquarium @ local 506, june ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat.

Man oh…

baseball: west tenn diamond jaxx @ carolina mudcats, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty eight. I wrote and saved and didn’t post, literally, nine or ten drafts of this. Angry letters to Mariners fans who keep getting the facts wrong. Long love letters to college baseball that no one else cares about. But in the end….
