Moving is one of the most annoying things in life, even if only virtually. Nevertheless, the lure of bluer skies beckons over the increasingly toxic atmosphere and owner here, which reminds me of driving on Jersey's Pulaski Skyway before they doused the fires of the PJP Landfill.

@zfghi I have investigated, it but I don't like the idea of being swamped with posts by people I don't follow and not seeing those from folks I want to keep up with. And I'm no big fan of THAT empire, either. Sometimes I feel like Brian Wilson: I just wasn't made for these times.

What else have you got to do Saturday? Well, OK, there are a ton of great gigs, but this one's at the Hideout, with Vortis continuing to celebrate its latest album on vinyl, and our cut of the door going to Save Our Stages. Hope to see you there!
