actually, its more the other way around, but there is truth to that comment.

last night, chris and i had the earth shattering experience of seeing the original, boner-inspiring line-up of seBADoh play at the Paradise, and i'll tell you what, despite Lou's raging ego and Jason's raging weight problem (or lack of weight), they were as sick and as sloppy as we could have ever hoped or imagined!

i dont even think that i personally have it in me to try and recap the evening, but i can highlight a few key moments:

eric gaffney identified me by name and recognized me as "that guy who writes to me all the time", to which i responded, "yeah, but i stopped that..."

lou was a dick to chris and i several times while we tried to support the merch cause (me: this makes me feel like im 16 all over again; lou: what was that, like 3 yrs ago")

jordan was punched in the face by some drunk ass engaged girl that was hitting on him after i asked him what the deal was and he told me "shes wicked wasted but shes hitting on me wicked bad and shes engaged!"

eric gaffney called chris up on stage and said he was the guy from the decemberists (and i never came to chris's rescue)

j. lo looked skinnier than me!

they played for fucking 2 hours and played more songs off of harmacy that you could have ever imagined, including fucking Drag Down from "the Sebadoh"!!!!

well, i am tired as fuck still and i have to go tend to PILES business (bass-man number one, dana fowler), but i will keep the wild world of PILES updated as i think of it.

FUCK.

that shit was amazing.

after i see Japan because of PILES, i can now die a happy man.
