You will be at this show because:
a) headliner is Joe Lally of Fugazi fame.
b) the Hard Tomorrows are playing and they will rock your block off, goddammit.
c) Jinxed at Twelve is playing and they’ll likewise rock your block off, goddammit.
d) it’s a saturday and the black cat is air conditioned, more or less.

It’ll be the first non-Rancid show in four nights, and in addition to the music it’s going to benefit DC’s Street Sense organization, which helps DC’s homeless people to help themselves. The text at the bottom reads:

Street Sense aims to make the public more aware of issues related to poverty and homelessness in Washington, DC. Its secondary goal is to provide homeless people with an economically beneficial opportunity and a forum to be published. visit www.streetsense.org for more information. poster by dirty pictures.

Basically, Street Sense publishes and and sells newspapers as a means of provide income to people who would otherwise have none, and gives them a voice with which to speak to the community at large.

Poster is seven colors total, about 11.5″ wide by 23″ tall. I’m going to sell posters on my website via paypal someday, once I kick the habit of sleeping altogether and put together a store page of some sort.

I just got back from Nashville a couple hours ago. Checked off a couple things on my to-do list by seeing Tom Waits live in concert, at the Ryman Auditorium. My buddy and I got seats in the second row due to me being on the Waits mailing list– we were so close we could literally see Mr. Wait’s fillings in the back of his teeth when he bellowed. The Show was well worth the 25 hrs spent driving to and from.

Also got to see Hatch Show Prints in Nashville, one of the oldest operating letterpresses in the US, which makes some of the raddest posters you’ll every see in your life. I bought twelve of them, coulda bought 200.
