Sheffield's ambiguous sexuality going out the window, when Neo Nazi's tried to beat up Lightning Bolt But Taller because of a schedule conflict in the show (seriously, they threw bottles and chairs and threw objects at us) and we woke up the next morning with a full tank of gas, a new tire, and breakfast with a turtle thanks to Mrs. Birnbaum, the second Squa show where we refused to stay around

Stern has played sober and with a good backing band, any music Tyler from Sarah Johnson has ever played me, thirty year old dudes reminiscing about old hardcore music the first time I saw Aa, Todd, Growing, Dylan, Fiona, Comets on Fire (the power went out and the drummer had the sense to keep the beat going and when the power came back on everyone was screaming and singing and clapping to the drums), Matt and Kim, Talbiam! (they seriously played an entire set where they just made fun of the different members of the Headhunters), Excepter (John Fell Ryan beat up a guy and jumped on his chest), and Ex Models. How much my dad believed in the song "Another Brick in the Wall". Everything by the band Phish. The wizard that is John deHaven.

We were being and knowing That two were one, and we were three In twelve sided cosmos, drifting by I wasn’t seeing I was feeling And wasn’t being, doing, two were one And when I looked to it Nothing but the corner of my eye Then we were three, and being Being and doing I hadn’t known that two were one We were that same one, and being When I know, I feel I see that two were one We were three and being Drifted through twelve sides And we were being Knowing that two were one And falling there on clouds like stars We were three and known We were one, I don’t know I was being, doing, but I knew That two were one And clouds flow down Drifting, we know, and see Doing, and knowing we were three And knowing two were one That two were one.
